"Yeah, no, that sounds super evil. You might be able to do something with good deeds, but maybe the fact that someone was doing them for science would make them not count."

"Hm...let me see..." he mutters, rifling through some papers. "Ah. Here. A reference to such an experiment...good deeds done for such a purpose seemed to count less than otherwise, by amounts which varied enough per person that they weren't able to get any solid experimental data on their original question, but not none." 

"That makes a fair amount of sense, considering. How did we get onto this subject . . . ? Oh yeah, we were discussing whether I would be able to do magic and you said probably yes."

"Oh. Yeah. Well, there are extraplanar wizards and stuff already, so I don't see why you'd be prohibited where a Celestial isn't."

"I'm pretty excited to try it!"

"Yeah, you're really lucky you're an extraplanar oddity," he nodded. 

"Anyway, um, you probably weren't expecting an extraplanar oddity today, so you probably have other plans than sitting here comparing our planes; where do I go from here?"

"Oh, I guess we'll find you a place in the neophyte dorms and find someone to tutor you. I'm not busy right now, though."

"Well, if you'd like to keep asking me questions I'm happy to keep answering them," she says with a little smile.

He gets out paper and a fountain-pen-looking-thing. "How's your plane organized?"

"Asuuming that question means what I think it means, it's mostly vacuum, with galaxies of millions or billions of stars scattered through it. Some of the stars have planets orbiting them, and one of those planets is where all the life we know about lives."

"Oh! No, I meant like what's your government like."

"Oh! okay, I got confused because we have a lot of different governments on my plane. I mostly know about my own country, but a bit about some others. In ours we have small governments in the cities and towns, and those are organized into fifty states with state governments, and then there's a national government for the whole country. There are three parts to the national government: the Congress makes the laws, the President does international relations and has to approve or reject Congress' laws, and then the judges interpret the laws. Congress and the President are elected and then they appoint the judges."

He takes notes. "What about law enforcement?"

"That's done on a local basis, with police officers arresting people they think have broken the law. Then there's a trial, with one lawyer giving evidence that the accused is guilty and another giving evidence they're innocent, and then twelve random people decide what to believe. Sentences are usually fines or imprisonment."

"Tell me more about police officers?"

"Um, they go around and look for people doing illegal things, and there's some technology you can use to call them if you see someone doing something illegal. They have special vehicles that are allowed to go really fast, so they can get to places quickly if someone is being attacked or something, and they have weapons so they can subdue people who are attacking somebody." It's more complicated than that, of course, but she doesn't feel up to explaining the nuances of police use of force to an extradimensional wizard.

Nod. Scribble. "Just weapons, they're not unusually powerful by themselves?"

"You have to be pretty physically fit to be a police officer, and they train them to fight a bit, but they're not way stronger than anyone else. Who wins a fight in my world is determined mostly by has the better training and weapons, rather than innate strength and talent."

"I mean I dunno if I'd call most magic innate, but sure. I guess if no one has magic that makes law enforcement way less complicated."

"I'm afraid it still manages to be pretty complicated, but I don't have a basis for comparison, maybe you have all the problems we have and some extra ones."

"I mean there's however the judicial system works and then there's arresting people in the first place."

"Yeah, that generally manages to be possible, at least to the extent that it's news when it doesn't go well."

"The city guard can arrest random drunks and petty thieves fine but if someone powerful decides to make a ruckus the Temples have to handle it."

"Huh. What are the Temples like?" Time to learn about the gods who actually do stuff maybe.
