The Garrison
A fortified compound under the command of General Nero, located inside The Citadel, along with several dozen military units. The city of Chaosia is lead under a military dictatorship; a form of government wherein the political power resides with the military.
Most criminal offences are dealt with on the spot by city guards, often by paying a fine or undergoing a punishment that fits the crime. General Nero created a list of mandates that have coined the name, Nero's Laws. One of those laws states, "Eye for an eye", which essentially means if you steal with your left hand, then you lose your left hand; the same applies to unlawful murder.
The city guards, especially within The Commons are often not monitored by General Nero, so they are left unregulated which leads to an abuse of power and crimes mysteriously going away, when enough coin is presented. Elite guards and higher ranking officers who typically are stationed within The Citadel tend to follow Nero's Laws to the word, but corruption runs deep within the ranks.
Taxes are a form of mandatory payment that begin immediately once a citizen reaches maturity. Unless paid, The Garrison will send their city guards to forcefully collect any late taxes. City guards conduct daily inspection to anyone entering or exiting The Citadel, along with random routine tax inspections throughout the streets. The city guards each have a magical stone on hand that when placed upon the head of a creature will conjure a message above their head that indicates the amount owed - numbers in blue indicate payment coming up and numbers in red indicate an amount past due. New residents are immediately enrolled, and the tax bracket is highly increased for those living within The Citadel.
