The Kingdom of Kedane has a rich history of laws and the court system can be byzantine. There are numerous taxes on non-citizens as well as trade goods. The kingdom has been in existence for quite a while and the bureaucracy to run the kingdom can be considered excessive. This fact ensures that the kingdom is slow to change or respond to external forces.
