                      Is there any way to escape from the authorities?

                      ahh, right, cool. That's sort of what we do too, with some variations. All
                      cities that you can become an enemy of are player-run (reasonable
                      elaborate system of governmental ministries, etc). The Ministry of
                      Security is responsible for internal security, which includes declaring
                      people official enemies of the city, and paying for and maintaining city
                      defences. Examples of city defences are archers on the rooftops taht will
                      shoot at you, and telepaths which will attack you anywhere in the city. It
                      IS still possible to walk into a hostile city and take someone out
                      quickly, but you run a large risk doing it, as the damage from
                      archers+telepaths (archers only hit you outdoors, and only if you do not
                      have a magical shield up, which gets broken when you move or attack).

                      Achaea's situation tends to be that major players get enemied from the
                      cities that the city they are a member of is opposed to. This forces
                      players to hang out in groups defined by political loyalty, which is a
                      positive thing to me (provides a sense of nationalism, etc).

                      Excellent. We've had the same experience. We have many players who aren't
                      interested in PK, and who occassionally get caught in the crossfire, but
                      that's just life. They deal with it fine, 99% of the time, as long as it
                      doesn't get overboard.
