Samos

Samos is a mixed forces city state, focusing as well on their Naval power as their armed combatants. While the City state has to survive off of a great deal of trade from Tithera for its naval power, they are self-sustainable in all other areas. The Leadership of Samos is chosen as a figure who can excel in both Naval Combat, Combat on foot and Horse Back Combat, creating their own altered version of The Triadok. A figure who succeeds gains the right to call themselves Polemarchos.

Monuments
  • The Machitikós Stone - The great stone pillar, surrounded by a water and spike filled moat, that marks the name of every Polemarchos and Taxiarhos that serves in the Samos military.
  Fortifications
The sea forces of Samos are well enough defended, especially when they have to take attacks frequently, as are their internal borders with walls and towers in strategic locations. While they have to defend themselves from not only Myrtou and Lesbos, let alone outside forces from the sea, their Tithera border is not as easily defended, mostly due to their alliance with the City state.

Legislative Body
All laws, rules and matters of state are carried out by a Council of Military individuals in the Polemarchterion. Samos' Council consists of Six Taxiarhos, led by a single Polemarchos. This council deals with major matters that regard to the state, with the Polemarchos always having the final say. All other matters are dealt with by the leaders of the various towns and cities under Samos' domain. They meet frequently, the exact frequency dependant on necessity for the State.

The Taxiarhos of Samos are:
  • Taxiarhos Epimetheus Doukas of Samos (Minotaur, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Fallthra Matsouka of Samos (Dwarf, Female)
  • Taxiarhos Elektra Tsaoussis of Rhodas (Centaur, Female)
  • Taxiarhos Erebos Onasis of Perinthos (Leonin, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Orestes Matsouka of Astakios (Satyr, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Karme Mikos of Lennos (Centaur, Female)
Judicial Body
As a militant city state, the day to day dealings of the law are maintained by Hoplite and Lokhagos not currently on active duty. In extreme cases of warfare, Polis can be invested with judical power to maintain the application of the law.
In judical matters, all items are judged by the most senior officer available - normally a Tagmatarkhis.
