Influence/Law vs. Local Popularity
As far as I can tell this isn't discussed anywhere so I'm posting this here:
LocalPopularity is almost entirely undocumented in terms of what it's in game effects are. It appears to have no effect outside of a settlement, inside a settlement it's only effect appears to be on public order. Each point of LocalPopularity is equivalent to an 8% order increase. This compares with 5% public order for both Law and Influence (though Law and Influence have other benefits).
