Purpose

The Congress was founded to provide the democratic nobles of the East Continent with a community and an organization for discussion to further implement and defend our Democracy.

"Democracy relies on Community."

Objective

The Congress seeks to ensure the proper use of Democracy in all aspects of realm policy, procedures and operations. Also to build true Democratic ideals in its members and spread our ideals outside of the Congress.

Functions
