"Hell's client-state. Be wary. Their laws are not the laws of Man or Nature."

"Freedom from laws and tyrants. All laws and tyrants, without exception."

"City of anarchists! Friend to Hell! A place where the laws of men and nature are equally forfeit!" (Alt text: "The Sex Pistols had it right then?")

A chaotic colony of Hell, permanently free of tyrants... and laws. It is possible to go there in both Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Fallen Londoners will often have to stay until numbers stop working; sailors of the Sunless Sea will have it a bit easier but will still be subjected to constantly shifting norms. The laws change every day.

A real-life connection?
The changes in the laws of the Republic on a daily basis may be inspired by The Lottery in Babylona story by Jorge Luis Borges.
One who seeks their Nemesis...
...will go here in search of Scathewick, the man who was hired to kill their loved one. But who hired him?
