Elections work differently in each type of realm.

Little Known Facts

  • You are eligible to be elected even if you are wounded, seriously wounded or at a Tournament.
  • You are not eligible to be elected if you are in prison.
  • You are not able to vote if you are wounded, at a tournament or in prison.
  • Some Governments take your prestige and honour into account when voting. Some do not.
  • Some Governments hold monthly elections for some or all of their officials. Some are only once.



Voting in a Monarchy

Elected vs. Appointed
Ruler: Voted for Once
General: Appointed by Ruler
Judge: Voted for Once
Banker: Appointed by Ruler
  • The Ruler is voted for once, and they remain until they are removed in one of many different fashions. The Arch Priest(ess)is also elected once. The Ruler has the ability to appoint the Royal Treasurer(Banker), and High Marshall (General)when those post are vacated.
  • Prestige carries with it great weight when voting for a new king; the most prestigious and aristocratic have far more say then the common soldier does. When voting for the judge, everyone's vote is equal.




Voting in a Tyranny

Elected vs. Appointed
Ruler: Voted for Once
General: Appointed by Ruler
Judge: Appointed by Ruler
Banker: Appointed by Ruler
  • As with monarchy, the ruler is elected just once; once elected, the ruler appoints all other positions in the realm.
  • The slight benefit for the average noble is that all votes are equal; no matter your rank or prestige. However, since all power ultimately lies with the ruler, it is not as much of a blessing as it would seem.





Voting in a Republic

Elected vs. Appointed
Ruler: Voted for Monthly
General: Appointed by Ruler
Judge: Voted for Monthly
Banker: Appointed by Ruler
  • The Ruler and the judge undergo monthly elections.
  • Lords and those with positions enjoy a greater voice in who they choose to lead their realm compared to others. For judges, all are equal.






Voting in a Democracy

Elected vs. Appointed
Ruler: Voted for Monthly
General: Voted for Monthly
Judge: Voted for Monthly
Banker: Voted for Monthly
  • All positions are elected once a month
  • All votes are equal.






Voting in a Theocracy

Elected vs. Appointed
Ruler: Voted for Once
General: Voted for Monthly
Judge: Appointed by Ruler
Banker: Voted for Monthly
  • The Ruler is elected once, the general and the banker are elected monthly. The judge is under direct appointment of the ruler.
  • Those of greater station will have greater say in who guides the productivity and safety of their realm. However, for rulers, all men are equal before the powers.
