The Republic of Scroy-Noroy

The Republic of Scroy-Noroy is the western most electorate in The Confederation of Achthal which is extensively mercantile and is run by a group of rich merchants.

Government
Although Scroy-Noroy is officially a republic it is actually extensively controlled by rich merchants and to an extent the guilds. The leaders of Scroy-Noroy are the Consuls who are able to veto any action, refuse any advice and propose and block any law. The consuls were appointed by The Council of Families who are the off spring of a group of rich aristocrats who grabbed the important positions when they were available. The legislation technically states that it is made up of anyone with property over 40 Gold Crowns not controlled by a feudal lord is entitled to a vote their is much bribery, rampant corruption and copious quantities of intimidation and threats that are frequently followed up meaning that those with money and power have the upper hand. It is also worth noting that votes are public information. The Council of Families also has to aprove any laws although this is frequently a ill-attended rubber stamp procedure as they have already chosen the consul.

The other ranks of The Magisterium (Scroy-Noroy's political leaders) are: the Statistors (who are in charge of keeping official statistics); Praytellers (who have an illdefined legal role); Quevestors (who prosocute murders and conduct other legal duties); and Administories (who are in charge of running public buildings). The Statistors and Praytellers are also elected by The Council of Families while Quevestors and Administories are appointed by The Council of Soldiers but both are unimportant as a Consul can over rule any action from them and so the Consuls are attributed as the true leaders. However, it is worth noting that conflicts do develop between the Statistors and there Administory underlings and the Preytellers and their Queverstor underlings because they are appointed by The Council of Soldiers which is controlled by wealthy nobelmen.

Although, The Council of Soldiers is made up of all of the soldiers under the command of the Scroy-Noroy government, a vote is given to each of the thirty brigades in the Scroy-Noroy army.
