Add CI to check if new laws don't contradict with any existing ones.

You might need to turn laws into formal proofs, and the existence of judges makes me think that’s not as likely as you would like. A commenting system would though—trained on countries’s precedents, jurisprudence and traditions might.

Can you imagine rebases with merge conflicts?

This could in theory already happen without any tech, but I suspect since the government is pretty monolithic, any changes in a specific law are all being done by the same set of people.

You might not have merge conflicts but I imagine you could end up with conflicting guidance from two separate pieces of law (e.g., law A says you must wear green on St. Patrick's day, law B outlaws green pajamas).
