Specific offenses can be delt with through other laws. For example the one being discussed is about offensive names and mottos. It might be worth discussing laws to cover the offenses in the code, otherwise the first rulings will set the precedent when a case happens. Generally it helps to read the game rules, some nations have been caught out by them and lost UN status or even been deleted. It covers what you can do in the game - flags, mottos, posting on the regional HQ.
