Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
Only the foreign government whose flag it is? Just asking because it's not unknown for flag burning of the local flag to be legal but burning of foreign flags to be illegal.

Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
Wikipedia says only if the foreign government complains. So if it is ignored by them it is ignored by Japan, I guess.

Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
Many states have state militia members on permanent active duty.
The California state military reserve, the Texas state guard and several others come to mind. The consent to do so was granted almost as soon as the Constitution was ratified. States don’t have to go back and ask for permission repeatedly. Today, effectively, a state can have armed militia members on active duty without asking federal permission. |

Please drop the real-world U.S. political tangent.

Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
In any political system, given enough time, you can end up with a result entirely different than what was originally intended by those who founded the government.
Governments tend to collect power, social mores change and even words fall out of use or change meaning over time. ...because of the above request I won't cite the obvious real world examples. However, it would be entirely possible for a government formed by a slave revolt which outlawed slavery in the most absolute terms to HAVE legal slavery in some form 300-500 years later. |
