[Dagnia]

The federal government of Dagnia allows its prefectures a great deal of power and rarely intervenes or enacts a national law unless it's something that affects two or more prefectures. Therefore, I have listed something as legal or illegal if it is generally that way in a pretty good majority of prefectures and "varied" if it being one or the other is not true for roughly 60% of them. Where it actually does apply to the federal government will be noted.

Speeding: Illegal and strictly enforced on city streets, less so on highways, which have no speed limit away from densely populated areas.
Public Nudity: Varied
Gay Marriage: Legal
Discrimination: Legal in the private sector, illegal and strictly enforced in the government.
Bring animals to public area: Legal
Rioting: Illegal, with varied definitions of what constitutes rioting.
Sexual Assault: Illegal
Fishing: Legal
Prostitution: Legal
Cheating (Relationship): Varied
Child abuse: Illegal, but with extremely varied definitions of what constitutes abuse.
Immigration: Legal, but extremely restricted. One of the few things the federal government has an exclusive hand in.
Drink and drive: Illegal, but generally not harshly punished if no one is hurt.
Skipping stop signs: Illegal, especially in more densely populated areas.
Child abandonment: Illegal
Disorderly Conduct: Varied, in addition to the varied definitions of disorderly.
Property Damage: Illegal
Bribery: Legal in private sector, but this is probably viewed as on of the worst sins in Dagnia if it involved public officials. It falls under anticorruption laws, some of which prescribe the death sentence depending on the severity of the corruption. This is also federal.
Litter: Illegal. In one prefecture, the punishment is you have to eat whatever it was you littered, whether it's a cigarette butt, a container of motor oil or the contents of a dirty cat litter box.
