Martial Law Declared
The pratice of declaring martial law during war is a holdover practice from the Founding Wars. There was a few small peace periods, required because of the devastation on our economies. Small, for one: they were really just a temporary cease-fire between the combatants, and 2: they only occurred to rebuild industries needed for war. Because war with enemy city states was the norm, and we could never be certain of the trustworthyness of our allied states, nor could they trust us. This meant the public was in constant fear, and always wanted a heavy military presence everywhere in the streets. We wouldn't blame you for thinking we were under occupation. We spent most the wars literally with only martial law. We didnt until recently have civilian law. The people demanded that wartime require martial law after. The most amazing thing is we can even think of diplomatic relations without paranioa taking over.
