Oritolon (Realm)/Government
Contents
Overview
The political system of Oritolon has undergone a restoration to the simpler, traditional, form of government following a failed experiment with a more complex senatorial system.
The High Council comprises of the Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, who are elected by the nobility, and the Minister of Finance and Minister of War who are appointed by the Prime Minister. They are advised by a group of trusted nobles known as the 'Inner Circle'.
Despite the title the Inner Circle is a large group and membership is generally open to any established realm member who has a proven interest in the well-being of the realm.
There is a long-standing tradition in Oritolon that no noble may hold more than one major government position (High Council positions and Lordships). A newer convention is that no family may hold more than one lordship or more than one of the high council positions. These conventions ensure a fair spread of power and help prevent the sort of abuses of power that have been used to subvert Oritolon in the past.
