Council of nine decided on by representatives sent from each village. The rest of the reps bring issues to this council who then votes on whether or not bring an issue to the people. If approved it’s put forward to the population and they vote

Unitary Democracy

Not very many. People generally trust in their leaders because they're people like them. One would be the fact that they're drawn by lottery. Additionally, the direct votes. Still, not much

Power comes from religious presence and values. Basically, people who seem to be really devoted to the gods are trusted more

Leaders are decided by vote every ten years

Socialism

Leaders regulate people’s private lives. They’re allowed to do as they please, but if they act in an unseemly way, the council and reps interfere

Absolutely no immigration. People may come for trade or visits to only four open cities

1. No foreigners may live in Eska


2. Natives who wish to leave Eska for any reason other than trade or work may not come back


3. Cheating the social regulatory system is punishable by death- attempting to leads to exile


4. No thievery, especially of government supplied resources


5. No one person may hold significant power over their equal


6. No one may disturb the peace


7. National image must be kept clean


8. No conjugation with foreigners. Offenders must leave with said foreigner or face exile. Any offspring born of the Union can not claim to be Eskan, or Lametlane.


9. Lamedani must be respected, but kept separate


10. No interference with governmental investigations

After their verdict, they ask the people what they think and, depending on their answers, continue with it or reassess

Reps are usually voted into the council, and new reps replace them

More than half the country agree with this system, largely because they're so closed off

Eska is friendly or tolerating of all countries. Despite having negative relations with a few, they're still willing to trade. However, they don’t trust any of them

Very strict and focused on conformity. The idea that they must be useful is hammered into them from infancy. However, they take a certain pleasure in it as they've never known anything else

Civilians are immediately drafted into the military in times of war (with some exceptions.) They train yearly to stay sharp. In war, Lamedani take charge, and are usually the ones sent into the rare foreign conflicts Eska participates in
