We are not Republicans but Democrats. Every Citizen has a say and a vote in everything. We reject the idea of putting power in the hands of Senators, for power corrupts. Obviously, the peasantry can't vote, that would be ludicrous. But they do have rights and we consider them Freemen, not possessions. So they can come and go as they please.
– Lord Vixir Daedalus Dogsbody 13th February 1017, in answer to a question from an adventurer.
Philosophy
i. Vix Tiramora's first responsibility is to protect it's Citizens. What is a Citizen? It is a Noble who has been freed from the Tyranny of the Feudal System. They serve one of the Two Great Houses (Ghrest, Rir Vuum) and, should they follow the path of the Warrior, the Army. But they do so freely, able to elect their Head of House and Government and able to stand as candidates themselves. Being free also means Freedom of Speech, all are able to say what they think and challenge those they disagree with, regardless of that Citizen's office. We value the benefits of debate and see that through constructive argument, optimum decisions can be made.
ii. Vix Tiramora's second responsibility is to protect it's Democracy. All Citizens are able to vote in all elections and referendums and all votes carry an equal weight. Every Citizen is able to run for any position.
iii. Vix Tiramora's third responsibility is to protect the freedom of East Continent's Independent Nations and challenge those that would force bondage upon it's people. Vix shall endeavor to increase the number of Free Citizens on this continent and dream of a time that all Nobles may be freed.
Citizenship
Citizens of Vix Tiramora are not tied to a liege-lord as they would be in a feudal monarchy. Rather, they offer their services freely to their Head of House in return for a place in Vix society and a share of their region's wealth. Citizens are free to leave Vix Tiramora whenever they wish.
It is very difficult indeed for a Freeman to be promoted in class to a Citizen. This is because a study of a Freeman's physiology shows they only consist of four humours: Blood, Phlegm, Black Bile & Yellow Bile. They lack the fifth humour of Cunning, which is present in all Citizens. Crucially, it is the Cunning that forms the majority of the Citizen's brain and is what enables a Citizen to master their baser instincts and behave in a Civilised, logical fashion.
However, through inter-class breeding, it is possible for a Freeman to contain some small amount of Cunning. Therefore, any Freeman who has shown particular guile or elegance may be nominated by a Citizen for the Citizenry test and if successful, their family may be elevated.

Secession of Highmarch
On the 15th October 1017, the Democratic State of Highmarch secedes from Vix after a Nationwide debate and successful Binding Referendum. Prior Referendums also elect Governor Ricard as the inaugral Vox (Leader), Rep Chester as Knight Commander (General), Governor Jarin as Quaestor (Judge) and Prime Knight Alfhelm as Chief of Commerce (Banker). The two Nations also agree upon an Alliance Treaty:
"The Grand Democratic Alliance
In celebration of the birth of a new Democracy on the East Island, the realm of Highmarch and its mother nation, Vix Tiramora, do hereby agree together on these terms to usher in a new age of prosperity, democratic freedoms and continued support in the wars against tyrants and oppressors alike across the continent:
The realm of Highmarch shall be declared a Democratic realm, following the values and freedoms of Vix Tiramora as of this day, and will abide by all referendums that passed for at least one month after formation of the realm. At that point citizens of Highmarch may request referendums to change aspects voted upon except for the following terms: The realm of Highmarch and Vix Tiramora shall join in an alliance together and pledge military and political support against the foreign aggressors who are listed(for the most recent date of revision): Greater Xavax, Nivemus, Caligus, Sirion, Shadowdale, Eponllyn. The realm of Highmarch shall seek out alliances with fellow members of the Southern Alliance coalition. Highmarch shall continue to remain at war with the northern realms(and not seek out personal ceasefires) until terms are settled by Vix Tiramora and the Vix-Highmarch alliance shall continue to persist even after the conclusion of the current war "
