Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
One story I read somewhere was that a Cadi ordered a noble flogged for disorderly behavior in the bazaar and the Emir was so concerned for his trade and presumably his sales tax, that he backed up the Cadi.
Does giving such trust to a local marketwarden constitute something of the kind of thing the OP is looking for?
