			The [[Imperial Codex]] is applied universally throughout all of Vericum, granting equal rights and laws to all its citizens, though enforcement of some parts varies. There are also the old, pre-empire local laws still in force. As a whole, the empire is much less unified than most other realms, especially culturally.

	[[has culture::Elladan]] is the dominent culture in Vericum. In the west and southern edges, the [[has culture::Kiswaili]] culture is strong. In the east, some provinces are strongly influenced by [[has culture::Tallian]] culture and the north has both [[has culture::Luari]] and dwarven cultural influences. But the empire has not existed for long enough to allow a true multi-cultural society or identity to emerge.		[[has culture::Elladan]] is the dominent culture in Vericum.

	With the passing decades and the imperial projects such as the [[Imperial High Road]], these barriers begin to break down. Already along the High Road, traditions of hospitality and travel have begun that span many provinces.

			=== Race Laws ===
			Vericum is officially a human realm, and only humans can join the nobility. A few dwarves have been grandfathered in by exception clauses at the founding, but there are no new dwarf nobles. Non-humans can hold offices or join the military only with permission of the local lord. There are also a number of lesser racial laws that are more or less strictly enforced depending on the local militia and political climate:

			* elves are not allowed to own, buy or sell horses
			* elves are not allowed to own land or real estate (most of them would not want to nor understand the concept of "land ownership" anyways)
			* any elf who is found trying to seduce a human woman is to be hanged naked by his feet upside-down for two days
			** if he is caught in bed with her (i.e. seduction completed), his feet, hands and member are to be cut of and he is to be thrown into the nearest river to drown
			** no such rules exist for female elves
			* dwarves must mark the entrance doors of their homes with a "clear indication" that this is a dwarven household. Dwarven symbols carved into the door post are commonly used, even though many dwarves believe them simply to be a tradition
			* dwarves may not compete in drinking or brawling competitions where humans compete
			* dwarves may not use an ironic tone-of-voice when addressing a member of the royal family as "your highness"
			* gnomes found in the possession of thieving tools are to be considered guilty until proven innocent
			* gnomes are forbidden to work as cooks in taverns or inns unless they own the establishment

	The title of Emperor is not hereditary in Vericum. Upon the death of an Emperor, the major nobles of the realm will gather and elect a new Emperor from amongst themselves. The Emperor loses all previous titles and holdings, which in practice means he will hand them off to a family member such as his younger brother. He also does not use his family name in official matters, all in order to demonstrate that he is impartial and above the usual noble squabbles.		The title of Emperor is not hereditary in Vericum.
