Yes, exactly. Of course, the players themselves (via their own
governments) should be able to set their local law-level. You want a
zero-tolerance to crime area? Fine... but you'll have to live with it when
it's inconvenient. Similarly, if you want to live in Bartertown (ala
"Thunderdome") that's cool too. The rub (and frankly, a fair amount of
gameplay) comes from when someone from Stalintown has to venture to
Bartertown or vice versa.

Heheheheh, I love it. "Your daughter ran away and went to *where*? Are
you kidding? You'd have to pay me triple that before I'd haul my carcass
over there..."
