Becoming a Council member
The selection process for council members is a combination of merit and influence. Potential candidates are usually drawn from influential merchant families, prominent guild leaders, respected scholars, and other esteemed individuals who have made significant contributions to the city-state. The council members are chosen through a combination of nomination, review, and approval by existing council members. The process begins with a nomination phase, where individuals who meet certain criteria, such as wealth, reputation, and expertise, are put forward as potential candidates. These nominations are then reviewed and evaluated by the current council members, who assess the candidates' qualifications, accomplishments, and alignment with the values and goals of the city-state. After careful consideration, the council members vote to select new members from the pool of nominated candidates. The exact voting process may vary, but it typically involves a majority vote or a consensus among the existing council members. Once the candidates have been chosen and approved, they are officially inducted into the Council of Visors, assuming their roles as influential decision-makers in the governance of Donaquis.Readmittance
