History
The Assemblies have been part of the government of Kosui since the fall of the Colonial Administration of Yama. Orignially, each of the Assemblies appointed a single member as their representative in one the Core Seats. The Appointed Seats were also much less formalized, with the representatives assuming much greater control, forming practical triarchy. The term limits, were however much shorter, of a single year. Morever, each of the Assembly chose its representative at random, believing it would be fair to let gods decide.
A one year, however, one of the Nobles managed to get so much respect from all the high ranking millitia members that the other Nobles decided to make a single exception. This breaking with the tradition initially was met with disaproval of both non-military Citizens and the priests, however neither group managed to stop it. The following year, the Noble representative was again elected for the second term. Citizen and Priestly Assemblies responded with also choosing their own ones via the election. From now on, no Core Seat was randomly chosen ever again. All the Core Seats have managed to win approval for the following year. When their terms were coming close (Noble one on the third term), the compromise was done - from now on the terms got extended to be two years, with no reelection being possible. To further discourage the rivalization, Core Seat power got weakened by introducing the terms for the Appointed Seats as well.
The one more reorganization came after Divine Siblings mnanaged to protect the city. It became clear for the people in the city that priests of these local gods should have more to say as the dieties in question became the direct patrons. However, the details weren't clear. For a year, city had no Great Comitee working until a new organisation came to be. The specific number of Seats and who appoints them became what is described in the rest of the article.
