It will be familiar so easy to implement and think about and give things a Shadowrun/Cyberpunk vibe of authority sucks with an incentive for the heroes to live outside the system.Assuming absolute dictatorship is fine. It is only one model for a fantasy medievalish society, but it can work and feeds into popular ideas of all powerful monarchies.Assuming fairly democratic representative government is fine, it is a familiar base and allows cities and kingdoms to be background for most PCs instead of oppressive enemies asking to be worked against.Assuming historical criminal justice systems based on Rome or the Norse Thing or later English jury trials, or whatever is fine. It will be a mix of familiar and exotic which can give things a fantasy feel.Assuming a magic heavy justice system with clerical zones of truth and such can be fine, they have world building implications for the prevalence of casters and their integration into society and government, but it can add to a feel of the world working with its magical implications.</blockquote>
