Laws would be tricky.Â
I think the the Eorzea's main cities (Ul'da, Gridania, etc) would behave not be unlike ancient Greek's city states. Yes they were all Greeks (Eorzeans) but they were also athenians, spartans, and so on. Each City and the territory surrounding it had it's own laws to adhear to. Which tended to cause problems as what's legal in sparta wasn't exactly legal in Athens. This led to a lot of in state fighting and backstabbing which only went away *at least somewhat* when Rome had a collective enemy, which in Eorzea's case would be the Garleans and Beastmen.Â
But now we are getting off topic. Laws would depend on what city you were in or close to (as towns tended to adopt the laws of the nearby cities to a point).Â
In Gridania I imagine there would be a lot of laws involving the conservation of nature. You probably couldn't just go chopping down trees and clearning forests for your new buisness without the approval of the Seedlyns (or whoever is in charge). After all, if one idiot ticks off the elementals then it means trouble for everyone.Â
Ul'dah would probably be more concerned with the buisness side of law and would focus on rules that would help keep the economy sable. They also have a sultan and nobles which usually means that different laws apply to those with power and wealth. For example, nobility might be the only ones who have a right to vote on what laws should be passed and which shouldn't. Basically I imagine Ul'dah would be the kind of place that tried to keep the rich, rich and the poor, Â poor. Theivery would probably have a high punishment.Â
Limsa Lominsa seems to be under military law if I'm reading my lore right. That's somewhat simple. In short? The military is right and your wrong. I could imagine curfews except for those who have a pass. And officers would likely scrutinize every shipment to make sure nothing is being smugled in (if they arn't paid off that is) . That kind of rule usually has a resistance somewhere as well as a seedy underground. Anti-government propaganda would probably be a big no, no. But I might be wrong abot Limsa Lominsa. I haven't read a whole lot of lore on it.Â
The tricky thing would be the cultural laws of races. Clan buisness might go against laws of the city states though in my oppinion that would normally be ignored. Clan buisness is clan buisness as the saying goes. You don't get involved unless you absolutly have to.Â
This is just guesswork though. I'm certianlly no expert and am only going by what I know of history.
