The Forty Skins

The Forty Skins is Hawu Mumenhes's legal code. It is a collection and categorization of all laws, statutes, court rulings, regulations, executive orders, and royal decrees issued by any branch or officer of the Hawu Mumenhes federal government. It includes everything passed by the federal legislature Rmṯ Sḥsi, all regulations, orders, or notices issued by federal ministries and their agencies, all rulings written by judges of the supreme court and junior courts, all executive orders issued by the president, and all royal decrees issued by the head of state. The Forty Skins takes its name from the legal code of Ancient Irkawa which preserved its laws on papyrus and wrapped the book in a protective casing of 40 layers of animal hides.
