Crime
Crime has always been a serious problem in Kuboia, especially in the northern region of the country. In Fahrbahnin, there were 175 reports of incidents involving knife crime and a further 73 involving guns in 2014 alone.

Carrying knives and guns is legal in Kuboia, something that is illegal in Jetania. This has caused significant controversy, as there have been several reports of both Kuboian and Jetanie citizens exploiting this law.
