The Republic of Abington is one of the most notable of Atamaran Realms, boasting an abundant population of both nobles and commoners. Geographically, it is the southernmost realm in Atamara, split by the Great River flowing from the Monagle Mountains down to the Suville Delta. It's territories continue into the Ash Sea Islands in the north, into Tarkhog in the north-west, and are as diverse as any in the world.

Government

Abington was up until recently a Monarchy, with a clear line of succession of reigning monarchs. Among the earliest were I Will Survive, who betrayed the Kingdom to Antioch (and was executed for this years later). Other elder monarchs include the most recent Queen, Armitage III, and Drago Dragonheart who was slain by Doc's Biatch. After Drago, Gabriel, Carriantor, Armitage III and Gauihu presided over the Throne. The last was virtually overthrown by two rebellions and fled the continent, allowing for the Birth of the Republic.

The Grand Council

The first governmental organization setup after the formation of the Republic, the Grand Council consists of ten nobles, including all duchal lords and government members. You can see the former government agencies within the Riverholm Archives.

The Ministry of Defense

The Ministry of Defense consists of the Marshals of the Armies, the High Marshal, the Monarch, the Judge, and other important and experienced military veterans of the realm. It is a purely practical body, designed to serve as a forum for discussion of tactics, strategy and reports.

Aristoi Atamarism
The Pantheist Path
The Way of the Hammer

+The first governmental organization setup after the formation of the Republic, the Grand Council consists of ten nobles, including all duchal lords and government members.  You can see the former government agencies within the [[Riverholm Archives]].
-===Former Government Agencies===
-====The Royal Council====
-Traditionally, the Royal Council included those voices whom the Monarch relies upon most for detailed discussions concerning foreign and domestic policies. At the last week of the monarchy, the Royal Council consisted of nine nobles, most (but not all) landed. Although the Royal Council was frequently engaged in deliberation and discussion, it did not have any legislative or executive powers.
-The Royal Council was unofficially dissolved (Late August/Early September 2007) by Gauihu, and replaced with the "New Royal Council" consisting only of himself, High Marshal Xuanye, and two other nobles, Del'Sinda and Hanato. Along with the Kingdom itself, the "New" Royal Council was disbanded after Xuanye's Rebellion.
-====Ministry of the People====
-The Ministry of the People was first formed during the reign of Gabriel, whose stated aims were to listen to, and speak for, the interests of the common nobles of Abington (as well as to incourage [[Roleplaying]] through the use of roleplaying contests with measurable rewards.)
-This was first headed by a single Minister of the People (Gauihu), and later up to three such Ministers. (These Ministers included Feldric, Ulric and Elantus.) One of the Ministry's most lasting projects was the creation of the [[Abington/Abington Account|Abington Account]], the realm's most prominent and widely-read news-journal.
-The Ministry of the People would later be absorbed into the Court and Council of the People.
-====Ministry of Law and Order====
-The Ministry of Law and Order consisted, since its recorded inception, of the elected Arch Priest of Abington, and two appointed Ministers of Law and Order. Along with the Ministry of the People, this was also later absorbed into the Court and Council of the People.
-====Court and Council of the People====
-One of Gabriel's less well-known domestic accomplishments was collating the Ministry of the People and the Ministry of Law and Order into the Court and Council of the People. This body was to consist of the Monarch (veto), the Judge (one vote), three Ministers of the People (one shared vote), two Ministers of Law and Order (one shared vote), and was to function in a judicial manner.
-However, the lifespan of the C&CP proved less fruitful than was initially hoped. Gauihu continued to make rulings, often with little or no consultation with the group, and eventually the Ministry of the People was effectively ruined by the deaths of its ministers (Feldric and Elantus) or their retirement (Ulric). Gabriel stepped down, and during the reign of Carriantor, Gauihu largely pushed for either dismantling or reviving the Court and Council of the People. But either effort was ignored in light of foreign affairs (The War of Dishonour), and domestic squabbles (the great disagreement between Carriantor and Gauihu).
-By the time of the second reign of Armitage III, the Court and Council of the People was a defunct body, and was officially disbanded.
-====The Military Council====
-The Military Council consisted of the Marshals of the Armies, the High Marshal, the Monarch, the Judge, and other important and experienced military veterans of the realm. It was a purely practical body, designed to serve as a forum for discussion of tactics, strategy and reports.
-It was dissolved at the same time as the Royal Council, again by Gauihu, for reasons unknown.
-====The Traders====
-The Traders of Abington were unified into a single body, under the overall authority of the Royal Treasurer (Callisto). As with the Military Council, this was a purely practical body, with the intent of keeping traders protected and managing trade routes.
-This group was also disbanded officially, again by Gauihu, again for reasons he didn't share with anyone at the time.
-====Religious Council====
+===The Ministry of Defense===
-Consisting of the heads of and/or major priests of Abington's main religions, the Religious Council was to discuss all matters concerning spirituality, and the placement of temples, shrines, and peaceful cooperation of Abington-born of different faiths. After the secession of Riverholm, Nemesis and thus the Pantheists were removed from the council, and discussion became more infrequent.
+The Ministry of Defense consists of the Marshals of the Armies, the High Marshal, the Monarch, the Judge, and other important and experienced military veterans of the realm. It is a purely practical body, designed to serve as a forum for discussion of tactics, strategy and reports.
-It was dissolved at the same time as the Traders, Military Council and Old Royal Council were.
