Lemite Autonomous Region Laws & Ordinances
Lemite law is quite similar to laws of many other (and supposedly more intelligent) races. There are a few exceptions, mainly dealing with the molestation of small furry animals and singing a certain ancient Disney tune.
A good rule of thumb to ensure keeping your thumbs is:
1) Behave as if you'd be immediately executed for screwing up, and
2) Bring lots of stellars for "gratuities".
Due to the Lemites' democratic and somewhat flighty nature, their laws tend to change from time to time. A current copy of these laws will be available here, but due to the woefully inefficient bureauracy, it may take a while to be updated.
2. It is REALLY illegal to posess, trade, or use Lemite skins or fur. Violators are subject to most unspeakable and embarassing punishment the Lemite Court can think of, short of a quick death (probably 2 hours of public-displayed mass sodomy). (199.07)
3. The use of spies is prohibited at Lemite colonies and is a postable offense. Spies that are discovered will be tickled severely and deported. (199.07)
4. It is illegal to steal, pillage, plunder, burglarize, or aid in the same against Lemite Autonomous Region citizens, posessions, or territory. This is PIRACY. Piracy is punishable as by either being forced to dress as Long John Silver, complete with live parrot, or the death penalty, depending on the court's mood that day. (199.07)
5. Using a sentient being against their will in forced labor, in forced acts or for "pursuit of personal pleasure" is SLAVERY. Slavery is outlawed by the Lemite Autonomous Region and is punishable by posting. (199.07)
6. Posession of narcotics, intoxicants, or liquors is illegal, unless you have enough for everyone. (199.07)
7. Posession of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, or a feline without a permit is illegal. (199.07)
8. Gambling casinos within Lemite Autonomous Region territory are illegal. (199.07)
9. Artifacts found within the territory of the Lemite Autonomous Region are property of all Lemites through the Lemite government. Unauthorized posession is PIRACY. (199.07)
10. A list of "Prohibited Items" will be maintained, along with penalties.(199.07)
11. The colony LEM Korlus (2640) is a "Free Port"; ships from all affiliations that are not on the Lemite posted list may trade and use the starport facilities. Ships may only enter and exit within the square that the planet Xuppy resides in. Entry into any other square, or acts of violence, harassment, etc., by visiting affiliations within the Free Port are illegal, postable offenses, and punishment will be swift and not very pleasant. (202.34)
12. All Kazerickii laws that do not impinge on Lemite sovereignty apply within the Lemite Autonomous Region. (200.07)
