The Serene Republic of Laurentia on CivReign
Government
Laurentia is governed by a High Council made up of members of the nobility of the nation.
Every 6 weeks, noble candidates are nominated by members of the nobility for election as Doge, who is the ceremonial head of state of Laurentia and an honorary member of the restricted High Council which deals with diplomacy and foreign affairs. All citizens of Laurentia are entitled to vote in Doge elections, which are conducted via a monetary vote whereby greater donations to the state equate to more votes for the selected candidate.
The restricted High Council is reserved for Archdukes and the Doge of the nation.
Foreign Affairs
Laurentia has amicable relations with Courron, and the two nations signed the first treaty on CivReign together.
Land and titles of Laurentia
The land of Laurentia is divided into 3 types of territory.
The territory in red is the capital of Laurentia, Serena. You need a pre-authorization to build, granted by the Grand Council of Laurentia. The construction on this territory is strictly managed.
The territory in green is under the authority of the aristocrats of Laurentia. The use of the territory is under their authority, so it is not allowed to build or use the territory without the permission of the aristocrat who administers the territory.
The rest, the grand council exercises its authority over the territory in a flexible way. You have to ask for permission to build or use the land, but this is usually granted to anyone who asks and offers great flexibility.
