Common Entitlements

The Common Entitlements, or the Common Laws, are the groundwork of laws that make up Picketralia. There are 18, but we began with six. They are similar to the Bill of Rights. They were created when the country was founded in 978 CE, and they are basically what Railtown denied them.
