The City State of Theria
Theria is one of the oldest city-states in Arion and consists mostly of Biata. They existed even before Heroes Rest, eventually becoming a city-state. Even after becoming a city-state, they still tend to be isolated from the rest of the continent, due to their way of life. They are self-sufficient and their upbringing makes them not desire material things like other places, which makes it difficult to establish trade relations. The person that attends the council to represent the city also changes frequently, which makes establishing diplomatic relations with them very difficult. Most refer to Theria as the City of Philosophy, since every person in the city has been taught a variety of different philosophies throughout their education.
Structure
The citizens of Theria are in control of resources and the means of production. To help organise and deal with diplomatic relations, a person of age is randomly chosen and given the title of Serfbound. The Serfbound is there to serve the people and if the citizens are unhappy with his/her performance, they can at any time call a vote to get a new random Serfbound.
The job of the Serfbound include:
- Deal with diplomatic relations outside of the city. This includes being part of the council.
- Help resolve problems that occur in the city.
- Determine the philosophy taught in schools.
Culture
The education system teaches the following:
- Philosophy (chosen by the Serfbound)
- Knowledge needed to be a Serfbound (incase they are randomly chosen)
- How to create, obtain, control, and distribute resources.
