From time of old, when our revered Ancestors were struggling through the destruction, death and disease of the Godfire, it was decreed by the Ancestors and the Holy Shamans that this was to be the Holy Law of the United Tribes of Apoclypsia.
Let all men be witnessess to the law, both to justify the keepers of the Holy Law and condemn the disobedient whom break the Holy Law. For it is by the Holy Law that we live and that we die. Let them bear witness that this Holy and Sacred Law is binding and final on all the United Tribes of Apoclypsia, and has been proclaimed by the Shamans, messengers, Sages and written for all to see. Therefore, let no man say he did not know the law, or plead ignorance of the Law. For it is by the Holy Law we live, and by the Holy Law we die.

LAW I :The People of the United Tribes of Apoclypsia are an Anarcho-Primitivist nation, and as such we will allow no king or man to assert his will against the wishes of the People. Let the evildoer and the tyrant die under the knives of the People!
LAW II: No weapon of metal weapon nor firearm, nor evil war magic of former times be found among you. Cursed is he among whom it is found, and cursed is those who use or manufacture these weapons. Let them be blotted out from the land of the living and die under the knived of the People!
LAW III Let no man take the life of women, or wives nor harm a child. Cursed is he whom sheds the blood of a woman or harms a child. Let them be blotted out from the land of the living and die under the knives of the People!
Law IV : Let no weapons such as were used in the War of the Gods be found among the People of Apoclypsia. Let none of the missles of the Godfire (nuclear weapons) or the creeping death (Chemical, biological weapons) be found among the People of the United Tribes of Apoclypsia! Cursed is he whom introduces this blasphemy, and cursed is the kin of such as do this unto the seventh generation. Let the evildoer die and their kin be driven from the Land. Let the evildoer be blotted out from the land of the living and die under the knives of the People!

Among the People, let the Copper Warrior Society be the guardians of the Law and the defenders of the sanctity of home and hearth. As such the Holy Law says this:

* Let each tribe tithe 10% of their young men, from ages of 17-34, to be enrolled and trained to be warriors in the Copper Warrior Society.
* Let the citizens give aid and comfort to these warriors, to be compernsated by the office of the Prezidehntcy, for their aid.
* Let furloughs of the young men be given during planting and reaping for the space of one moon.
* Let the warriors neither extort nor demand anything that is not freely given. Let him who extorts die at the hands of his comrade, after being found guilty by Council of Warriors.
* Let the warriors cease and desist from acquiring guns, but let them be given exemption for weapons of steel such as: swords, daggers, spears, crossbows, javelins, longbows, polearms, armor, axes, flails, warhammers, morningstars, tomahawks, warclubs and sundry. For them it shall be exempt to bear weapons of steel in the line of duty of protecting the People of Apoclypsia.
* Let each Regional Detachment bear an Armory with stables necessary for the quartering of the horses used on patrol.

it seemed good for the Ancestors in their wisdom to declare that from evey village, town, city or settlement that the most intelligent and virtous young men and women be selected and trained in the Wisdom and Sacredotal Art of the Shamans of Apoclypsia

*Let the Shamans select from the young the best and brightest to be educated in the Holy City of Washingten

* The term for an Initiate to study before he can become a Shaman and serve the Gods and the People shall be 20 years.
* Each Harvest, 10% of all grains, fruits, vegetables and the fruit of men's labor shall be brought and given tto the care of the Sacredotal College of the Holy City of Washingten, to be given to the Initiates and to the Shamans.
*After the term of 20 years is up, let the newly ordained Shaman go forth acorss Apoclypsia, healing the sick and ministering to the needs of the villages, towns, cities and settlings of Apoclypsia for a term of 5 years.
* After the five years is up, they are free to start their own ministries, temples, churches and mousques.
