State Law

State Law covers all lands which are considered directly controlled by the Empire, meaning all lands which are not vassal states. Many of the laws however also apply to the Vassal states though can have local moderation and alterations. State Laws can be freely changed by Emperor or the Lord Chancellor. State Laws usually don't lead to Inquisitions or Heresy trials, they simply fall under Civilian Prosecution and as such are merely dealt with as Civilian matters. Punishments can simply be handed out by Regalian Guard Charters, or by the Civilian Courts should such a matter come before the Land’s Justice.

Regalian Civil Status

The Regalian Civil Status Case is divided primarily into four main categories of individual: First Civil Status Races, Protected Civil Status Races, None Civil Status Races and Outsider Civil Status Races.

Races that are First Civil Status enjoy equal protection by the State through its laws and law enforcement chapters and have full access to the Courts of Regalia where the laws permit such.

Races that are Protected Civil Status enjoy somewhat the same protection by the State, however do not have access to the Courts of Regalia and must rely on First Civil Status Races to take their cases for them. In some cases, marriage may also be limited for these races where the laws state so.

Races that are None Civil Status enjoy no rights at all within the Regalian Empire, and thus are not protected by the Regalian law enforcement chapters for some crimes (Save brutalization in public) and have no access to the Regalian Judiciary whatsoever. Marriage may also be restricted for these individuals by law.

Races that are Outsider Civil Status are outcasts to the Regalian populous and can be actively beaten, robbed and treated like animals without impunity. They are not recognised as 'people' within the Regalian Caste System and thus can be enslaved by those that can overpower them (Doing so will then make that Outsider 'property', and subject to laws under the Regalian Property Law category.
