Upbringing Law

The Upbringing Law is a law created by Laetes Bluebird, the Consul of Veloncia, which states that a man (or, in recent years, a woman) may take any political office in the city of Veloncia so long as noble lineage can be traced back through the father, or if they were adopted and raised by peoples with a noble line.

The law was created in order to prevent too many lowborn descendants from taking public offices and is often critised as being an unfair measure, even for the North.
