General Law

* Citizens must always bow upon meeting the Baron, and be "overly" polite, since
any offence will result in imprisonment (he does rule them with an iron fist!)!
* Covian guardsmen must always salute superiors, and properly address them
(either 'Sir', or 'Ma'am'), or by their current rank and surname.
