There is obviously less risk to playing in NA since the laws aren't arbitrary like they are in Russia.
I think laws everywhere are fairly arbitrary. "We" choose to allow each "culture" to assign a set of laws and a social contract of sorts, but much of those decisions are actually incredibly arbitrary everywhere, including NA
Some simple examples:
You can go to war or vote at 18 but you can't drink alcohol in many places
You HAVE to wear a seat belt because it makes everyone around you safer?
You can buy a rifle in a sporting goods store at almost any age, but you can not buy a cigarette unless you are of a certain age
You need a picture in a little book called a passport to drive across a street that is considered an imaginary line called a border
You can get shitfaced on alcohol but not on a weed (in most locations, while you can in others, which is even more arbitrary)
You can use whatever gender bathroom you choose in some locations while you would get arrested in others for using the opposite gender bathroom
You could be born where I live, 1 km from the USA border and be a Canadian as a birthright. If you were born 1100 meters south, you would not be Canadian, but you would be an American
I could go on, but you get the point.
Our laws are just as arbitrary. We just like them better than the ones in Russia. Here, they might seem a little more predictable and a little more stable (and as such, one might argue they seem more "fair"), but they are no less arbitrary.
