Legislative Framework
The statutory code of the Mushville Democratic Union. Statutes are ordinary law adopted by vote and sit beneath the Constitution, which is supreme; no statute may contradict it. The MDU does not currently hold territory, so its law governs the conduct of its members and the running of the Union itself.
