World-Building Prompts | Theme: Learning
What is the overall crime rate in each of your constructed world's civilizations? Are these numbers skewed by the kinds of things that are illegal in them? How do these civilizations prevent crime, if at all; are these methods effective, or do they make the crime rate rise instead?

World-Building Prompts | Theme: Learning
Are there proper classroom settings to teach the youth of your constructed world's peoples; if so, what subjects are they taught? How about adults: can they go to school to hone their studies with the same amount of ease? Is formal education seen as a right, or a privilege?
#OCWorld #prompts
Are there any skills that your constructed world's peoples (or, more specifically, a lineage or few) are born with; if so, what are these instincts, and can they ever be taught? If they are teachable, how easy is it to learn such skills, and is learning them stigmatized in any way?

Each week, there will be a greeting in a different language. This week's greeting, "kama pona", is Toki Pona! Toki Pona is a constructed language made by Sonja Lang. Although it wasn't intended to be an international auxiliary language, it became one due to its simple vocabulary and grammar!
Is there anything that is illegal to do, say, or own in your constructed world that is legal in real life? Why is it illegal? Are there "underground" markets where people do them anyways? Are there any risks involved with participating in this illegal act(s); if so, what are they?

How does one seek justice as a victim of a crime in your constructed world? Is there a legal process associated with it, or can you do it yourself? If the former, how easy is it to use the legal system; if the latter, are there limits to the types of revenge that you can perform?

Kama pona! This week's world-building theme is "learning"! We want to hear about how the peoples in your constructed world learn (and what they learn about). Today's question is free-form: tell us about your civilizations' forms of education in as many or little words as possible.

Is there anything in your constructed world that is seen as legal to do, say, or own, but illegal in real life (either regionally or abroad)? Is it only legal in a specific region? Are there regulations put in place for this item, activity, et cetera; if so, what kinds?
#OCWorld #prompts
How do the peoples of your constructed world frame "learning"? Is it something that is done by one's experiences, taught by a trusted elder, neither or both? Is learning seen as something that is encouraged regardless of one's upbringing, or only reserved for a select few; why?
