Judiciary

The legal system of the Kingdom of Ikonia is a statutory civil law system. The main source of law is primary legislation and decrees, which takes the form of the Kingdom's constitution and the King's decree itself. The head of the Supreme Court is Haida Allen.

Due to a lack of legal disputes in Ikonia and also due to the fact that it is such a small micronation, the Supreme Court in Ikonia has only heard a single case to date; crime is virtually non-existent and most issues that do arise are settled either by passing emergency decrees, or by arriving by consensus on an informal convention.
