 ====== THE CRIMINAL CODE OF THE FEDERAL CONFEDERATION ====== ====== THE CRIMINAL CODE OF THE FEDERAL CONFEDERATION ======
  
 ===== Overview ===== ===== Overview =====
  
-The Criminal Code of the [[Federal Confederation|Federal Confederation]] was introduced in 2632 as a supplement to the [[common_constitution|Common Constitution]] and the [[civil_code|Civil Code]], forming the cornerstone of the legal system in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]]. It represented a significant departure from the harsh, deterrence-focused [[Criminal Code of the Free State of Settlers|Criminal Code of the Free State of Settlers]] in the [[Beta Age|Beta Age]]. While the Free State's code emphasized severe penalties and minimal administration, the Gamma Age Criminal Code sought to balance justice with rehabilitation, fostering coexistence between ExoHumans and the [[alliance_of_native_tribes|Native Tribes]] under the [[Peace Treaty|Peace Treaty]] of 2631.+The Criminal Code of the [[Federal Confederation|Federal Confederation]] was introduced in 2632 as a supplement to the [[common_constitution|Common Constitution]] and the [[civil_code|Civil Code]], forming the cornerstone of the legal system in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]]. A key feature of this system is the mandatory involvement of Federal Compulsory Attorneys (FCA), ensuring that every accused individual receives professional legal representation. 
  
-Drafted under the parameters set by the [[Communards|Communards]] during their first reign under [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]], the Criminal Code was elaborated by the [[gaia_system|GAIA]] system, which utilized data-driven insights to create a comprehensive yet Exohumane legal framework.+Drafted under the parameters set by the [[Communards|Communards]] during their first reign under [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]], the Criminal Code was elaborated by the [[gaia|Artificial Intelligence GAIA] – operated by the [[gaia_system|Federal GAIA Agency]] –  which utilized data-driven insights to create a comprehensive yet Exohumane legal framework.
  
 +The [[native_human_behavior_supervision|Permanent Supervisor]], appointed by the [[alliance_of_native_tribes|Native Alliance]] under the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] of 2631, ensures compliance with treaty provisions and monitors interactions between ExoHumans and [[the_natives_tribes_of_voi_700_d|Native Tribes]]. The Supervisor, alongside their deputies, oversees the enforcement of specific elements of the Criminal Code that pertain to treaty obligations and offenses against Native Tribes.

   * **Punishments:** Harsh and public penalties, such as the "Mark of Shame" and public hangings, were hallmarks of the Free State’s system. In the Gamma Age, penalties are designed to respect human dignity and include imprisonment, community service, and rehabilitative measures, with capital punishment strictly prohibited.   * **Punishments:** Harsh and public penalties, such as the "Mark of Shame" and public hangings, were hallmarks of the Free State’s system.

-  * **Judicial Process:** The Free State relied on the Settlers Council and citizen-appointed judges for legal proceedings. The Federal Confederation established professional legal institutions, including a [[federal_court|Federal Court]], a [[federal_attorney|Federal Attorney]], and a robust appeals process, ensuring fairness and adherence to constitutional principles. Compulsory legal representation for all accused individuals further protects their rights.+  * **Judicial Process:** The Free State relied on the Settlers Council and citizen-appointed judges for legal proceedings. The Gamma Age Criminal Code establishes a robust judicial process, mandating compulsory legal representation for all accused individuals. Federal Compulsory Attorneys, appointed through the [[federal_compulsory_attorney_law_office|Federal Compulsory Attorney Law Office (FCALO)]] and regulated by the GAIA system, ensure that every defendant's rights are safeguarded.
  
   * **Institutionalized Law Enforcement:** Law enforcement in the Free State was rudimentary, with the Guarding Troopers doubling as police and military forces. Their responsibilities extended to managing mobile prisons and enforcing labor sentences. The Gamma Age system is highly institutionalized. The Federal Confederation employs a [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]], [[local_sheriff|Local Sheriffs]], and their deputies, all professionals trained to uphold the law with precision. These law enforcement entities work in conjunction with the Federal Attorney and Federal Court to ensure a cohesive judicial process.   * **Institutionalized Law Enforcement:** Law enforcement in the Free State was rudimentary, with the Guarding Troopers doubling as police and military forces.
