Law & Policy (sage study)
Law & Policy is a sage study in the fields of Humanities and Theology & Customs, which covers the system of those theological laws enforced by the character's religion, supplemented by an equal amount of knowledge in a single political entity of the character's choice. This may be an independent state or the province/elector within an empire (for example, the Holy Roman, the Ottoman, the Safavid or the Moghul empires). The size of the political entity is not relevant.
Knowledge points may not thereafter be assigned to other entities - however, in dealing with other political or related religious entities, the character may count their knowledge at half value. Related religious entities would be those covered by watershed-frameworks like Judeo-Christianity, Islam, Hinduism (including sects such as Jainism and arguably Sikhism), Buddhism (Taoism, Zen) and various Paganism relationships. These should be judged on a case by case basis.
