Zoners - why they do exist?

[[ NEWS ARCHIVE - 801 A.S. ]]

BERING -- Liberty has long accused Zoners of what it called "aiding and abetting felonious criminal elements." In the new law signed yesterday by the President, any Zoners who sell goods or services to any criminal group have broken Liberty law and therefore are criminals themselves. Though Liberty said it would not pursue anyone in the Border Worlds for this new crime, criminals will be arrested if they enter Liberty space. A Zoner spokesman replied, "It's that type of foolishness that drove us away from that police state called Liberty."

Incidentally, some Houses do already take a dim view of Zoner activities, and will actively arrest them if they enter House space. The Zoners respond by staying outside of House space altogether. The article also somewhat supports the current ruleset that differentiates law enforcement within border worlds.
