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.
