The Clawe Republic

The former Kingom of Clawe collapsed into a devastating civil war soon after the end of the Troll Wars, the Republic of Clawe rising from its ashes and eventually regaining membership in the Azure Federation. Life in the Republic is that of a representative republic, with magistrates being voted in who in turn assign delegates to represent their town at regional conclaves that than elect representatives for the national assembly. A complex and slow process but a stable one.

Power Structures and Punishment

In the Republic the power lies in the National Assembly and the Government of the Commons. The Commons is the persons selected from the National Assembly to enact the policies that were passed.

This process can be rife with corruption at some levels but as a whole has held up for decades after the Claw Rebellion that saw the dissolution of the old Kingdom. The populace remembers the ravages of the rebellion that lead to the current government and have no interest in revisting that.

The main power at each settlement are elected Magistrates that manage the settlements day to day and also take part in regional assemblies. It is at these magistrates that some of the worst abuses of power can come since they tend to serve as judge, jury and executioner and in some towns this has clearly gone to their heads. How a particular town deals with trials is wholly dependent on the town and there are some where Trials are a matter of course and others where their are not.

The Clawe Republic is better thought of as an anarchist-confederacy rather than a true republic.

The Azure Federation
The Azure Federation is an alliance of the Southern Kingdoms of Man, a series of human kingdoms that sprang up around the fertile Glernorian Plains and ranges from the Boral Forest in the west, the Clawe Forest in the East and the Veshk Desert to the north.
