[ WP ] A strange virus of pandemic proportions kills close to ninety five percent of the world 's population . You lead a growing mass of survivors to scrape out a new existence ; what laws will you enforce in order to keep the peace a midst all this tragedy ?

I look down at the broken piece of bark before me. 
 Laws of the land 
 
 1. Capital crimes will be punished by death or exile 
 2. Stealing will be punished by 10 lashes per object stolen 
 3. All citizens will be subject to a mandatory draft 
 4. All citizens are required to work 
 5. All decisions will be through a council elected with one person per 100 every 3 years 
 
 This sounds good, it should cover just about everything and is nice and tidy. Its fair through the election of government and self sustaining by taxing the citizens. It should make a fine foundation, if only I could carve it in stone, and have somebody listen to it. 
 
 I look around at my surroundings, corpses litter the ground and the food stores are burning giving off the smell of burnt grain. In the other direction the sickly sweet smell of burning flesh is coming from what was our living quarters. 
 
 If only we'd had this sooner, if only we'd better protected ourselves. 
 If only we had n't split up over a single bushel of grain.
