You can't change everything, just:

Political alignment of all senators, congressmen, and supreme court justices,
Names of supreme court justices and executives,
Public view on all issues (0 ~ 100)
All laws
Names and codenames for all LCS members
All attributes, skills, and outstanding crimes for all LCS members
And a few other things I included without understanding

Taberone:
Does this mean that I'll finally be able to do things like editing combat messages, car chase messages, nerf Secret Service agents always seeing through disguises, etc without having to recompile, and that there will be less hardcoded stuff in LCS? Having creature weapons be hardcoded because that creature is affected by weapon laws when you could just do <WeaponAtLawX>WEAPON_SEMIPISTOL_9MM</WeaponAtLawX> instead(rather than hardcoding) is frustrating.

SlatersQuest:
This is an interesting idea, but will be a great deal of work and require some tricky design decisions. For example, there are a lot of instances where the in-game text refers to the character, the location, the laws, etc. For example, when you refer to the courthouse, is it the courthouse (death penalty laws L+ to C) or the Hall of Ultimate Judgement (C+)?

This is part of why I dropped it last time, as I didn't have the expertise necessary to answer that.
Currently I plan to have it use either XML or custom escape characters. I'm leaning towards the latter, like every time the string "\S" appears, the game will replace it with the LCS slogan.
There are definitely specific instances of greater difficulty, such as the various words that get replaced when free speech is especially low, or like the CEO code that rejects seduction attempts based on the seducer's gender. These especially specific cases are where I expect to find the greatest difficulty, but many of the simpler cases can be transferred to external files first.
tl;dr
Long term there are quite a few changes, but right now I'm focusing on custom messages that rely on little or no internal logic, such as the pickup lines (excluding when CEOs are involved).
