Barony of Demos

Barony of Demos

Tentative Geographic Assignment: 8
Basic Concept: Fledgling democracy
History: A popular uprising overthrew a tyrannical Baron and the people of Demos swore never again, creating a legislative council.
Government Style: Chaotic town hall style democratic meetings with a lot of shouting and arguing. There is a small elected council and the commander of the militia is elected by popular vote.
Character of the Realm: Busy and industrious but chaotic with an air of optimism. Religion: Demos has official religious freedom. Mera and Zarthus have a few clergy here.
Challenges: The leaders, bureaucrats and soldiers are all fairly inexperienced and the citizens have a habit of complaining and second guessing their decisions a lot. The civilian militia is pretty disorganized and is motivated by personal loyalty to individuals lacking a true chain of command.
