Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 1226290" data-attributes="member: 1328">I've got an empire and several monarchies, where it's a hereditary thing.In the Massany republic, there are five main cities. You may buy citizenship to the officials in one city (a hefty fee). Once you're a citizen, you may become a Grand Citizen. This lofty status requires you to have the patronage of another Grand Citizen, to have done service to the city, and to get the tacit or vocal approval of all other Grand Citizens. Every ten years, the GC vote one of them to be the mayor of the city. The mayor of the capital is also the president, and the mayor of the four other main cities are also ministers of various important offices (trade & marine, army & logistics, justice & churchs, magic & lore).In the Chandrale plutocracy, you have to own land and a manor, and then to get chosen by the Council of the Elders. But you don't hold real power. You need to work with the other lords to get things done.The grey elven sailors of the Grey Coast have a form of cooperative anarchy. Being overwhelmingly Chaotic Good and smarter than the average humanoid tend to produce societies that would never see (correctly) the light of the day in the real world. Anyway, they have no clear ruler, and not even official spokeperson. The only form of autority are ship captains.Finally, the semi-secret gnome country (un)known as the Collegium works more like an academy than like a country. A form of "scholascracy."</blockquote>
