Default Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems

A world devoid of national boundaries but where nation-states still exist. Citizenship follows jus sanguinis rules unless a citizen applies to change citizenship to a different nation (usually as a result of marriage since there are legal problems associated with mixed marriages). Citizens must pay taxes to the nations and those taxes are used to pay for small and extremely mobile armed and investigatory forces which are used to respond to attacks on citizens. When investigation determines that a citizen of one nation has committed a crime against a citizen (or corporate entity) of another nation then a joint trial takes place with one judge from each nation plus a neutral judge.
