The Urcean legal system is a primarily common law system with a mixed underlying basis. Without a written [[Constitution of Urcea|Constitution]], many historical edicts and Royal proclamations make up the foundation of Urcean law, which is further iterated by precedent setting interpretation from the [[Criminal justice system of Urcea|Urcean court system]]. Efforts were made in the 19th century to create a concise legal code based off of precedent and many centuries of government acts, both legislative and Royal. The result of this effort was the ''[[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State]]'' which resolved many hundreds of contradictory laws, edicts, judgments, and acts. Since the creation of the ''Consolidated Laws'', most acts of the [[Concilium Daoni]] have directly amended them, forming the statutory basis for the Urcean legal system. | |||
{{wp|Canon law}}, considered an unconsolidated law within the Urcean legal code, also has the force of law in Urcea, with additional unconsolidated acts of the [[Concilium Daoni]] determining the punishments for violations of Canon law in most cases. | |||

The 2010 national census of Urcea counted a total population of 1,341,602,401, though the country enjoys a net population growth of approximately 1.46% per year, and the total population of the Apostolic Kingdom in 2016 was estimated to be 1,463,679,455. Much of the population growth is natural, as Urcea's considerable population density and development means the country is a world leader in out-migration, and Urceans leaving the country typically relocate to one of its possessions in [[Western Crona]], such as [[New Yustona]]. Urcea's population density - 611.2 per square mile - is among the highest in the world, though this density is not evenly spread throughout the country and a majority of Urceans live in just six of Urcea's [[Government of Urcea#List%20of%20Subnational%20Divisions|subnational divisions]], of which there thirty four. | The 2010 national census of Urcea counted a total population of 1,341,602,401, though the country enjoys a net population growth of approximately 1.46% per year, and the total population of the Apostolic Kingdom in 2016 was estimated to be 1,463,679,455.
