Yes, there will always be corruption in any society, that will never go away. What the law project will do is take care of the egregious excess of it we're seeing right now.
You seem to agree with this since you've said here that it will be reduced unlike your earlier claim that it does nothing about what's already present so I'm not really sure what your problem about what's going to happen is at this point.

I agree that corruption and out of date laws could and have caused disruption, but the update mentioned that artisans in particular were starting to fight and kill each other in the street. This could, like you said, just be a part of corruption, but the fact that is seems like such a narrow percentage of the population is doing so could imply a targeted attack.
It doesn't really matter now anyways.

First off, I have always thought of it as being somewhat reduced following the law reform. It plays into the part I was talking about corruption adapting. I view our established corruption as a parasite on our society. What is left there be left initially weakened by a law reform as their former exploits are closed and then adapt back to previous levels after a few turns. I was not saying it would take care of the excesses, though it may seem that way without the explanation of where I was coming from as to how I felt they would be weakened.
Our law is fairly neutral on this point though. In-character, we are largely unaware of the true extent of our corruption. I wanted to take the option to expose that to our government.

Alright, just in time the history sheet is updated. See my sig for the link.
Here's your turnly infograph: how much stability we've gained with each action type:
Amusingly, Restoration of harmony was absurdly inefficient; the one time we did it we spent 3 MAINs to get +2 stability. OUCH! I'm assuming that was just bad rolls.
I did include the overflow stability from Restore Order during the Forest Mk. 2 era, even though it didn't technically hit out stability.

10 Forest slots?
Well..yes, yes it sounds amazing. Especially if it benefits from Greater SF bonus of making each expand do a Study Forests. Which basically means forestry is half-Innovation policy too.

The one thing I'm reading from this graph is that the Ymaryn really know how to party.
And that we should slaughter more goats. Sorry @maximillian .

Ehhhhh *waves a hand* sorta? Economy sure, defense though...
Significant walls are useful in my opinion for stopping basically everyone, and AN has said that leaving it on long enough will improve it to the point it makes massive walls. As far as I know these will still be useful by then as they can rebuff even moderate siege tech if enough forces are behind them.
And we are not very inclined to build fortifications on our time.

Because each of our True Cities seems to give us innovation rolls already, while I am not seeing them dripping with walls or new salterns.
Innovation might be good for somebody else, but for us, with 2 TS and at least one more soon to come (Redshore), it is one of the worst posssible choices, because we already have some innovation rolls every turn, judging by how we stumbled onto mills and catamarans. Innovation is made even comparatively worse for us by Wildcat Prospecting giving us a choice to give extra leeway to any new 'research team', which is how we've acquired, say, trip hammers.
Defense, on the other hand, is the kind of thing that seems worthless until you really fucking wish you'd invested in it 10 turns earlier.
Infrastructure will give us a slow drip into Salterns and Temples and the other stuff which is really worth building over time, but we are constantly bus with something else.
Forestry will give us ~Forest slots~, which is mandatory if we want Grand Docks (we do), and if we want more iron mines (charcoal intensive); plus it probably benefits from our Wonder, meaning it is essentialy doing a bit of Innovative policy in addition to that. Which, coincidentally, makes Innovation even worse comparatively.

Eh. Economy is our easiest stat to produce. True City support is effectively double the econ policy so long as we have two true cities (which seems likely to be the norm for the forseeable future; less than that and we start burning LTE pretty regularly.)
Defense is pretty good; we're at 2/41 significant walls IIRC. We could definitely use a bit more spikyness. It's also the best value in actions/turn; 1.6667 actions of stuff per turn. Charcoal, True City and Diplo drip are all about half that (though with nice side benefits.)
Loyalty is an unknown; we don't know how fast or what side benefits we get. I think it would probably be pretty useful. Same with innovation.

Well, given that we've spent something like 15 Main's improving them, they can't POSSIBLY suck still. We have wine and SOME music. Advanced prostitution probably means fairly advanced dance. We probably have AWESOME recitations of epic poetry ala homer/bards.

[X][Census] Streamline lower bureaucracy (+1 Passive Policy)
[X][Crisis] Instruct and reprimand rule breakers (Sec Restore Order + Sec Proclaim Glory)
[X][Diplo] Attempt to bribe the Lightning Wolves (Sec Trade Mission + Sec Targeted Salt Gift)
[X][React] Stabilize the People (Main Improve Annual Festival)
It was not every day that Rahullinar, the Lightning Wolf, was told that a delegation the size of a small tribe wished to speak with him. It was even less often that farmers from the south composed that delegation and had many wagons full of goods loaded up as part of the delegation.
Seeing them, Rahullinar rode out to meet them, bow still in its case upon his chariot, but spear and axe at hand, and his warriors at his side. A leader of the delegation also rode out upon his chariot, but he was also flanked by warriors directly upon horses clad in rattling scales of silver. The two groups stopped at a respectful distance, not close enough that they could immediately start hitting each other, but also not so far that they would have to do more than speak loudly in order to be heard. Dressed in the finery of soft peoples, the delegate announced in an oddly accented variation of the tongue of the south-eastern tribes, "Hail the Lightning Wolves, strong under their king. The Ymaryn have heard of your success, and bring you gifts of friendship to acknowledge your prowess and dominance of the tribes and lands you have conquered."
Smirking slightly, Rahullinar mentioned to his driver, "If everyone were this reasonable there would be little fun in this world, now would there?" He then said to the delegate, "I Rahullinar, the Lightning Wolf, King of the Storm Wolves, do acknowledge your acknowledgement. I ask of you, what do you bring to show your respects?"
The southerners then began to bring forth an eye bulging and mind boggling procession of bags of precious metals, gems, dyes, spices, incense, glass and what had to be several ox's weight in salt.
"Friends?"
"Uhhhh... yeah, I think we can probably work something out..." Rahullinar sort of mumbled. The thing he was really trying to wrap his head around was the fact that these people didn't seem scared or servile while doing this. This was obviously a lot of wealth for them, but the way they weren't hesitating to bring it to him suggested that this wasn't a catastrophic sacrifice. Given the quality of their weapons, he could work out that this wealth probably also translated to significant strength. On the one hand, they had honoured him better than anyone else, probably at the mere rumour of his success, and that was the sort of thing you wanted to reward to encourage others to do so. On the other hand, if their first response was to attempt to nakedly bribe him rather than honourably fight him...
It was, however, at the feast in the night that Rahullinar decided on what to do about these people, and that was to leave them alone. Not because they honoured and respected him, or because they had dangerous weapons, but because of their stories! Once the wine got out they got to telling one of their great stories, and some of them were so into it that they began to take up the roles of the characters and act them out. There were obviously religious ceremonies where something like this might happen, but these were more human tales that they were acting out the various parts. The grand drama of the Fall of Xohyr was especially fascinating, giving keen insight into the thoughts of the southerners. As they tied themselves to the land, so too did they tie up their emotions, but when let free they were like horses enraged at the bit unhitched. They should free themselves from such things, but they would also make decent friends and allies, and troublesome enemies.
Of course, there was one slight issue.
"Sure we can't tempt you to take your tribes in a different direction?"
"I go where I wish, although I shall leave your people in peace."
"Well, I suppose we cannot ask for anything more at this time."
Rahullinar knew that they wished him to take his tribes to the far east and avoid the lands of the south-west, but he knew that the mountains were rich in plunder and the lands beyond were excellent pasturage. He also knew that they got some of the tribute they had given him from the rich mountains, which was both why they wanted him to go elsewhere for his loot and glory, and why he wanted to go in the first place!
For the King of the People, the news that the nomads north had been somewhat mollified with tribute, but had obvious intentions on the Metal Workers and the territory around them, was of course a mixed bag. Fortunately, efforts closer to home to pacify the population had been more successful. A combination of efforts had improved the happiness of the People and increased their confidence in the idea that the king and crown were there to support them. Murders were definitely down, although some of that might be because people were starting to move out of the cities and into the new farms south of the cataracts. With just a bit of effort the soil there could be turned to rich, well watered farmland while not being so terribly far from the center of things like in the Western Wall or Gulvalley.
Most interesting though was that, in improving the festivals while also proclaiming the glory of the crown and the People, several of the groups had begun dramatically retelling the epics of old in new and exciting ways, acting them out somewhat like religious plays, but significantly more elaborately and intimately, and that had produced some rather interesting effects. As the plays grew more elaborate, there were now calls for more dedicated places to perform these plays from.

Aqueduct - Redshore (0/6), Lower Valleyhome (0/3), Stonepen (0/3), Blackmouth (0/6), Redhills (0/3). Each {S} committed consumes 3 Econ for 3 Progress. Completion adds +4 Econ Expansion and can allow for the formation of another True City
Temple - Progress listed below, each {S} committed consumes 3 Econ and 3 Culture for 3 Progress. Completion increases Religious Authority
Governor's Palace - Every palace lowers Min. Centralization by 1 and can decrease communication issues with distant provinces, but can also serve as the core of a breakaway state in a civil war. Each {S} costs 3 Econ and 3 Culture and produces 3 Progress
Library - Any location with a temple and/or True City status can have a library, with each {S} committed consuming 3 Culture and 3 Mysticism for 3 progress. Completion grants Mysticism, every 2 libraries past the first increases the Mysticism refund by 1. Sacred Forest (0/3)

Reminder: 2 {S} applied to the same project = 1 {M}
Additionally: 2 Mains may have non-linear effects
Special: Working on new boat design, building more will accelerate progress
Special: Free use of setting Passive Policy to set new slot
Mega-Projects - Mega-Projects can require many generations to complete, take an unknown amount of time to do so, and drain Econ while active, but can produce massive benefits once complete. Once chosen, the occupy the Main Focus slot until either completed or stopped early. Early stopping once started does not refund any of the investments and increases social strife. To reduce confusion, mega-projects are not listed as part of the voting project list and must be "written-in".
The Games - Physical competition and prowess are becoming a popular pass time and way for warriors and militia to train. Could a special festival be founded to celebrate this? (2-3? action commitment, -2 Mysticism and Culture per action, 2 Econ total commitment) [Elites]
Grand Docks - With the new docks in place, further expansion to something of a more significant scale could be of benefit (4-6? action commitment, -2 Econ per action, requires 2 Forest slots)
Great Dam - The river can run wild and dangerous when the rains come strong, but could it not be controlled by the same principles by which the water on the hills is channelled and contained, merely on a larger scale? (4-6? action commitment, -2 Econ per action)
The Law (Iron Age) - With new technologies, innovations, and social structures, old laws require a thorough redo in order to align with modern expectations (3-4? action commitment, -2 Mysticism and -2 Tech per action)
Place to the Stars - The shamans have noticed deeper patterns among the stars than they ever imagined, and setting up long term memories of where things should be could be intensely useful, if also labour intensive to get sufficiently durable markers in place (5-8? action commitment, -2 Econ and -2 Mysticism per action, 0/6 Mysticism commitment)
[Stewards] special kicker: Pay 1 Stability to double the effort on a megaproject action, consuming twice the required per turn resources but advancing the job faster. If taking a second main action on a megaproject, requires additional Stability payment to double that as well.

We may be able to help contain the flow of Iron by settling the north shore of the black sea.
