Is the government a legal fiction?

Often, they are controlling. For example, in '1984', the government, Big Brother, controls every aspect of people's lives, from what they can think to what they can say. They use fear and propaganda to keep the population in check.

As I don't know the specific books on the list, in general, such books might have characters who abuse their power for personal gain. They may show how government systems can be infiltrated by greed and self - interest. For example, characters might engage in bribery or nepotism.

In many legal systems, a corporation is indeed a legal fiction. This means it's given legal status and rights as if it were a person, even though it's not a physical individual. It's a construct created by law for various business and legal purposes.

Well, it depends on the specific legal context. In some cases, imputation is clearly recognized as a legal fiction to achieve fairness and justice. But in others, its application might be more controversial and subject to interpretation.

It depends. Fan fiction can be legal in some cases and not in others. Generally, if it's non-commercial and doesn't harm the original creator's rights, it might be okay. But there are no clear-cut rules.

It's not typically. Legal usually refers to something that is in accordance with the law, not related to fiction.

Legal fiction is an important concept in law. It's basically a tool that the legal system uses to simplify complex situations or to achieve certain policy goals. For instance, when a court treats a foreign country's law as being the same as the domestic law in a particular case (under the doctrine of processual presumption), that's a form of legal fiction. It helps in the smooth running of legal proceedings without getting too bogged down in the details of foreign legal systems.

Well, in a way, a company is a legal fiction. It exists in the eyes of the law as a separate entity from its owners or shareholders, with its own legal personality and rights.

Reasonableness can be a legal fiction to a certain extent. Laws often use this concept, but its interpretation can vary and sometimes be rather subjective. However, in some specific areas with well-defined standards, it becomes more concrete.

A legal fiction is a presumption or assumption made by the law. It's a device that the legal system uses to achieve a particular result. For example, in some cases, a company is treated as a 'person' in the eyes of the law, which is a legal fiction. This allows the company to enter into contracts, sue and be sued, etc., just like a natural person.
