"Right, right, okay."

"Fifteen years out of a major civil war. We don't ban clerics of other gods, obviously, we hadn't before and we have no reason to now. We don't ban Old Cheliax's existing slavery; agricultural production is the last thing you want to mess with when you're in a delicate position like that. We may phase out intergenerational slavery, or be planning to. I am going to need... an accurate list of which laws were passed when, if such a thing exists, because many of them wouldn't have been added in an accurate alter-Cheliax. 

"Off the top of my head, compulsory education is more coercive than Old Cheliax, in terms of placing specific legal requirements on people, so I suppose if we were really serious about moving away from and not towards coercion, we would make school voluntary. Or we could say that Old Cheliax had compulsory schooling, but I think that's wrong, because it didn't, and our neighbors don't. So a new, voluntary school system, courtesy of Infernal resources. Worldwound service is... no, I don't think that has to be voluntary, that's a threat to the entire world."

"A bunch of things about how we raise children are probably wrong and are going to take a bunch of effort to fix, which is mostly relevant because most of Keltham's students were children not very long ago and it'll affect their backstories. At least our childhoods were probably just Old Cheliax sorts of childhoods, outside of school, because our parents grew up in Old Cheliax, so we don't have to give ourselves weird even-less-coercive-than-that childhoods. I think. Mind, I don't have an amazing sense of what that looks like, we might need some biographies or something."
