So out of curiosity more than anything, what sort of legal system is there amongst the islands? Is it somewhat like English Common Law/US adversarial-case and statute law? How is a law made a law? Are there law enforcement Minions and if so, only on Aukate? Judges? Lawyers? Body politic differing amongst the islands? I know it has been mentioned that the islands are a sort of 'loose confederacy' or there wouldn't be a smilodon 'ambassador', for example. But is there some sort of quorum? Do the Overlords (Queens, etc) make their own laws and each new one adds some? What about differences betrween military and civic law - or is there no equivalent to a Posse Comitatus Act? Is there a seperation between jurisdictions? Between criminal and civil law?
