 Democracy
| ||
After the Civil War, the nobles of Giblot regained the right to directly elect almost every government official. In addition to the four council members, a new branch of government called the Circuit Judges was formed. The Four Circuit Judges handle most realm-wide decisions, with the tie-breaking vote being cast by the Supreme Judge when needed. Three of the Circuit Judges are directly elected, and the fourth is appointed by the Supreme Judge. The only other appointed position is the Duke of Giblot.
Below is a history of the Councils of Giblot after the Civil War, the Fall of Thanatos, and the Rise of Democracy

Council of Rebels
The Council of Rebels was formed immediately after the Civil War. As leader of the Rebellion, Sera became Chancellor immediately. Quickly, he appointed Goergyboy as Duke of Giblot and then in the next few days, elections were held for the remaining Government Positions. The most notable achievement of the Council of Rebels was ending all wars between Giblot and neighbouring realms, even including the long-lasting war of hatred against Outer Tilog. Peace with OT was not greeted kindly by most nobles, but they recognised the need to get the realm back in order after the chaos of the revolution. Within weeks, talk turned from rebuilding to conquest again, this time directed at Helsera. Some years ago Helsera was allowed to fall into the hands of the Assassins, who promised to return the region after a short time. The Assassins reneged on that agreement, and Giblot eventually decided they would take Helsera back by force.
Sadi's Demise
In the first full election since the Civil War, most members of the government were re-confirmed, but with one glaring exception. Sadi. In the prior month, Sadi had attempted to frame Georgyboy for paying the ransom of the Assassin infiltrator Miles, and had also tampered with votes in the hotly debated issue of whether or not to ban Twisted Kitty for alleged connections to Thanatos. When these offences were discovered, the nobles of Giblot responded by electing Shaman to replace Sadi as Supreme Judge. The day after the election, a strange, demonic fire destroyed Sadi's home, and he was never again seen in Giblot. Some claim he was taken by demons, others say he emigrated in the dark of night.
