For the majority of her history, Oritolon was governed under the [[Government System#Republic|classical republic]] system. In recent years, Oritolon has been beset by chaos as the realm has alternated between the system of old and newer, different styles, such as the complex senatorial system that collapsed spectacularly during the reign of Khain Dragonborn. Despite once again returning to classical government following several disasters, Oritolon continued to suffer instability and setbacks.

During the historical period known as '[[Oritolon (Realm)/Recent History#The Reconstitution of Oritolon|The Reconstitution of Oritolon]]' the government system was reformed with the intent of unifying Oritolon after a period of chaos and allowing more nobles to have a voice in how the realm is run.

The High Council comprises the Prime Minister, Grand Justiciar, Minister of War, Minister of Finances as well as the various Dukes of the realm. In a break from tradition, the Prime Minister is now selected from the nobility once every quarter. Meanwhile, the other permanent council members are now each chosen by the nobility once a month. The members of the High Council 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 noble who has a proven interest in the well-being of the realm.

Overview

For the majority of her history, Oritolon was governed under the classical republic system. In recent years, Oritolon has been beset by chaos as the realm has alternated between the system of old and newer, different styles, such as the complex senatorial system that collapsed spectacularly during the reign of Khain Dragonborn. Despite once again returning to classical government following several disasters, Oritolon continued to suffer instability and setbacks. Thus Oritolon once again dabbles in reform, though of a much more incremental variety than attempts of the past.

The High Council comprises the Prime Minister, Grand Justiciar, Minister of War, Minister of Finances as well as the various Dukes of the realm. In a break from tradition, the Prime Minister is now selected from the nobility once every quarter. Meanwhile, the other permanent council members are now each chosen by the nobility once a month. The members of the High Council 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 noble who has a proven interest in the well-being of the realm.

Previously, there were long-standing conventions limiting the number of titles any one noble or family could accrue to themselves as a result of abuses and tragedies that had befallen Oritolon in the past. These conventions have since fallen out of fashion however as Oritolon has sought to ensure that the best and most committed nobles are no longer dissuaded from taking high office.
