Liber VII. System of Fines

TITULUS I. Basic Unit

1. Unitas Poenalis (UP). All fines in Juvantia are calculated in universal penal units.
2. Rate. The value of 1 UP in JVD is established by the Senatus.

TITULUS II. Categories of Violations

1. Levis. 1–5 UP.
   • Insult or aggression towards other citizens.
   • Minor violation of the visual code (unaesthetic appearance of Domus or Robulus).
2. Gravis. 10–50 UP.
   • Use of illegal smart contracts.
   • Insult or aggression towards representatives of the Custodia.
   • Violation of trade rules (off-the-books trading).
3. Maxima. 100+ UP, up to exile.
   • Hacking of city systems.
   • Physical destruction of another's property.
   • Attempt to deceive the AI Praetor (falsification of evidence).

TITULUS III. Escalation Ladder (Escalatio)

1. Repetition. Committing a violation of the same type within a specified period automatically raises the severity category of the subsequent violation.
2. Progression.
   • A repeated violation of the Levis category is qualified as Gravis.
   • A repeated violation of the Gravis category is qualified as Maxima.
   • Systematic violations of the Maxima category lead to indefinite blocking of citizenship (Exilium).
3. Immutability. The history of violations is stored in an immutable registry and is taken into account when calculating coefficients for future fines.

TITULUS IV. Collection Procedure

1. Deferred Deduction. A fine cannot be deducted directly from a "cold" wallet. Collection occurs automatically at the moment the citizen uses any certified smart contract in the city (purchase, sale, lease).
2. Encumbrance. Until the fine is paid, an arrest may be imposed on the debtor's property (Robulus, Domus), preventing its alienation.
