Government

Monarchy It is ruled by the Prince of the Pillars, with aid from the Councilors of the Plinths. The Prince and the Councilors are all hereditary nobles, though the Prince's power is not absolute, as the Councilors, of which there are nine, have the ability to check him if they are unanimous in their opposition. Below the Council, are the Secretaries, who control all of the bureaus of government. The Secretaries are appointed by the Prince and confirmed (again, unanimous opposition is required to overturn the Prince) by the Councilors. They are always selected from the aristocratic class, known as the Old Mels.
