Cantonment / Martial Law "Rules"?

[Gelrir]

Long before computers and even the printing press, there were communities with "thousands and thousands" of laws. I don't know that a Third World War will suddenly resolve all of that to a handful.

I think a good example would be various occupied cities and nations in Europe during and immediately after WW2. As a general rule, the 'basic' laws prevailed, but the 'occupying power' would unilaterally suspend some, add a few of their own, etc. These might encompass

• forced labor "for the good of the community"
• expulsion of persons for any number of good or (more often) bad reasons
• control of production, resources, and markets; confiscation of goods
• control of movement: visas, travel permits, "papiss pleez" in general
• control of society: rules forbidding fraternization, for example
• prohibitions on weapons, or the formation of compulsory militias
• suppression of religions, political groups; prohibitions of languages, particular costumes/uniforms
• penalties on persons based on their national origin, military service, languages, social class

Some good ideas there...thanks.

Seems like there are two sets maybe:
1. Standard laws regarding basic citizenship: no murder/assault/rape/theft, etc.
2. Military Control: control of movement, resources, weapons, fraternization.

Would limitations on reproduction be too much?

most cantontments you would think would be either community laws - in which case probably the same martial law types that would have been in effect during the war - i.e. most personal freedoms suspended for the duration of the emergency types - or strong man type rulers - i.e. what I say goes
