Edict of Lazarene Law and Order
PreambleLaws and Penalties
Section I. In-Game CrimesSection II. General Crimes
General crimes are those committed anywhere in cyberspace. General crimes may also be committed in-game, and are not treated the same legally as in-game crimes. The penalties for general crimes, which must be applied by the court if guilt is found, shall accompany their definition. Interpretation of these crimes and penalties is to be done by determining what the law is meant to mean, rather than what it might technically mean. The law is meant to maintain order, not to be manipulated and exploited.
2.1 Treason: Treason shall be defined as attacking Lazarus and/or its government and/or plotting to do so. Treason is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
2.2 Espionage: Espionage shall be defined as maintaining a presence in Lazarus and using that presence to gather sensitive or private information for distribution to foreign parties without proper authorization. Espionage is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
2.3 Fraud: Fraud shall be defined as lying about or intentionally omitting information in an official statement that is relevant to regional security. Fraud is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
2.4 Harassment: Harassment shall be defined as persistent, unwanted bothering of a fellow Lazarene. Harassment is punishable by a one month ban from the forum, and if the harassment took place in-game, a similar ban shall be levied in-game.
2.5 Conspiracy: Conspiracy shall be defined as aiding a plot to undermine the Dominion of Lazarus or not reporting a plot that one is aware of. Conspiracy is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
2.6 Subversive Activity: Subversive Activity is defined as belonging to an organization that the Circle of Necromancers declares subversive, working with nations that seek to subvert Lazarus, performing unauthorized actions that one could reasonably assume are capable of or intended to weaken Lazarus, acting in Lazarus for the sake of foreign interests, and/or being a proxy of a foreign power. Subversive Activity is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
3. Severe Crimes
Severe Crimes are crimes that are punishable by immediate action by the King or the Regent, and punishment for these crimes may be appealed by the affected party later.
3.1 Legal Violations: Violations of IRL laws pertinent to Lazarus and Nationstates (i.e. Hacking, DDOS, being a sex offender) are punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
3.2 Forum Crimes: Intentionally destroying forum content, pornspamming, and gorespamming are punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
3.3 Personal Crimes: Publishing sensitive real-life or contact information about Lazarenes is punishable by banishment from the region and forum.
