MINISTRY LAWS

Just a list of laws passed by the Ministry since the Knights of Walpurgis come into power in 1946 - also known as the 'Knight's Regime'. Many Pureblood families think nothing of the laws and do not understand the full meaning of the laws unless it directly affects them. There are a few groups that go against the laws but none as influential or as well known as the Order of the Phoenix. As the game progresses more laws may be added to the list depending on the swing of power.



MUGGLEBORN REGISTRATION ACT

Passed in 1946, this act was one of the first passed in the 'Knight's Regime' and basically says that Muggleborns are to register like any other creature (eg Werewolf, Vampire, Animagus). Muggleborns have their own liaison at the Ministry like all other beings - but in a corrupt government they really don't have that much effect on Muggleborn Rights.

Also, in accordance to this act, Muggleborns no longer have the right to vote (just like any other creature, beast or being) and due to public opinion find it very hard to hold jobs other than what are considered beneath the Purebloods to do. However, they can gain employment in places such as St. Mungo's but it is highly unlikely to find them employed within the Ministry.

Any who don't register are sentenced to Azkaban - sentences usually lasting from 6 to 12 months (or until the Muggleborn cracks and registers). Further sentencing can apply if the Muggleborn still does not register. Maximum penalty is having their wand snapped and cast out of wizarding society


THE ANTI-TREASON ACT

This act has been in place for centuries but has only recently resurfaced due to the rising number of people opposing the Ministry and its laws. In accordance to this act, any member of society found opposing the Ministries laws in an attempt to usurp them will be trialled with treason. The maximum penalty for such a crime is 10 years in Azkaban.

The current Ministry, however, are abusing the act and the trials they hold for the vigilantes are extremely biased. Because the Knights fear loosing power to the Order they have made it so being a member of the Order is traitorous to the Ministry.
