Has there ever been a system of law based on Taoist philosophy?

by [deleted]

I understand it has been an official religion but has any country based their legal system on it's philosophies?

The place to look is the first religious Daoist sect, and their short-lived Daoist state in Sichuan. the entire structure of their society was based on their form of Daoism. It was a strange structure, complete with "libationers" - ritual masters who managed the local communities.

Kleeman's book is excellent for more advanced reading.
EDIT: Beyond that, the answer is no, not that I know of.
