The justice system of the Elishan was very decentralized, with each city (and in some larger cities, each borough) maintaining an arbiter elected by the local population and approved by the overseeing Csvin. The arbiter serves the role of judge and jury. The system is often criticized for its lack of checks and balances within South Hills and the larger world.
The statehistory of the states of Rostraver's historyand wasRonald were mostlyprimarily as the vassal of a larger empire, the people of the region being largely made up of the nomadic [[Vangdren]] people and the semi-nomadic herder [[Sauven]] people. As such, upon becoming a statestates through the Breakup of Elishan by President Baldwin in 1798, the statetwo states adopted a similar system to the national government, including a state legislature directly elected by the people, a Governor also elected by the people, and a judiciary appointed by the Governor and approved by the legislature. The primary distinction of the Rostraver systemand Ronald systems of government isare itstheir method of representation. Due to the people's nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle, it was encoded into the state's constitutionconstitutions that representatives should not be elected based on geography, but instead by community. Such a system was very unique in the early days of the UCCS, but has since become an arbitrary difference with the advent of the industrialization and urbanization. Some nomadic communities (who make up a notable minority) are still represented by their shared community, but the majority of Rostraver's and Ronald's population now live in stationary settlements, with their "community" now being synonymous with the city in which they live or the ranch that they own, with some constituencies being entirely made up of singular ranches resulting in a case of hyper-representation for some individuals.
