What is Jatrana?

What if you knew a single concept could eliminate all grand larceny? That concept is Jatrana.

What is Jatrana? 
Jatrana (also called the Claudian Code) allows people to break laws without guilt when society’s core rules—the Fundamental Law—are violated first. It acts as a form of jury nullification. If someone commits a crime while seeking justice for an unpunished grand larceny (like "fraud" ignored by police), courts can acquit them. Jatrana refers specifically to this acquittal, not the law-breaking itself.  

Why is it vital?
Jatrana is a cornerstone of law and order:
- It forces authorities to uphold the Fundamental Law—the rule that grand larceny must never go unpunished.
- Without it, society risks chaos.  
- Opposing Jatrana undermines true rule of law.  

Key details: 

Scope: Jatrana applies only when the Fundamental Law is broken (unpunished grand larceny). It doesn’t cover minor crimes.  

Support: Frameworks like Blood Pacts or Divine Sacrifice hold accountable those who try to block Jatrana. Committees of Elders/Guardianship may rule on its use.  

Tradition: Adrunati daily prayers honor those who break laws to uphold the Fundamental Law.  

Jatrana works through formal processes like:
1. Claudian Acquittal: Courts clear defendants of minor crimes if grand larceny was ignored.  
2. Claudian Statement: A declaration justifying law-breaking due to unpunished grand larceny.  
3. Claudian Campaign: Building public support before a Jatrana act.  
4. Claudian Petition: Gathering endorsements for Jatrana actions.  
5. Claudian Pardon: Overturning convictions based on Jatrana principles.  
6. Claudian Code: Authorities pledging to uphold Jatrana.  

For example, a man named Rob has been scammed out of 500,000 Euros by a scam trading platform. The police will do nothing, claiming the crime was outside of their 'Jurisdiction'. Rob then steals 100 Euros from a shop. Police arrest him and charge him for theft. He is put on trial, and requests a Claudian Acquittal, claiming he was dealt an injustice when the police refused to investigate his case. His lawyer argues the Fundamental Law was not upheld when the police refused to investigate the fraud to which Rob was a victim. The jury grants the Claudian Acquittal, claiming this is necessary to ensure the Fundamental Law is upheld.

In essence, Jatrana provides a structured way to restore order when institutions fail—ensuring justice prevails without descending into lawlessness.
