Processing Guidelines

When extracting political entities from chapter text:

1. •

   Identify political elements:

   • •Government structure (king, council, democracy, senate)
   • •Laws mentioned or broken (theft laws, magical restrictions)
   • •Courts, trials, legal proceedings (hearings, judgments)
   • •Crimes committed or accused (murder, theft, treason)
   • •Treaties or agreements between groups (peace accords, alliances)
2. •

   Extract political details:

   • •Type of government (monarchy, oligarchy, council rule)
   • •Legal systems and frameworks (common law, religious law)
   • •Crimes, punishments, evidence (what counts as proof)
   • •Judicial processes (trials, hearings, verdicts)
   • •International agreements (treaties, alliances, pacts)
3. •

   Analyze power dynamics:

   • •Who holds authority (official vs actual power)
   • •How laws are enforced (justice vs corruption)
   • •Political factions or divisions (rival parties, opposition)
   • •Gaps between law and practice (official law vs reality)
4. •

   Contextualize politically:

   • •Political stability or unrest
   • •Justice vs injustice in the system
   • •Multiple legal systems (different groups, different laws)
   • •Extralegal authorities (bandits, vigilantes, rebels)

Output Format

Generate entities/political.json with schema-compliant entities following this structure:

{
  "government": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "Eldorian Council",
    "type": "oligarchy",
    "description": "Ruled by a council of elders"
  },
  "law": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "Theft Ban",
    "type": "criminal",
    "punishment": "imprisonment",
    "government_id": "..."
  },
  "court": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "Eldorian High Court",
    "type": "supreme",
    "jurisdiction": "all crimes"
  },
  "crime": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "Theft",
    "type": "property",
    "severity": "medium"
  },
  "treaty": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "Peace Accord of 1250",
    "parties": ["Eldoria", "Northern Kingdom"],
    "type": "peace"
  }
}

Key Considerations

• •Implicit law: Some laws may be cultural norms, not written statutes
• •Power corruption: Official systems vs actual power (who really rules)
• •Justice vs law: Legal outcomes may not be just (corruption, bias)
• •Multiple legal systems: Different groups may have different laws
• •Enforcement gaps: Laws exist but may not be enforced everywhere
• •Extralegal actors: Bandits, vigilantes, rebels operate outside law

Example

Input:

"Under Eldorian law, theft was punishable by imprisonment. The High Court would judge Kira's case. The Council had signed the Peace Accord with the Northern Kingdom years ago, but bandits operated outside both jurisdictions."
