The Athenian Bureaucracy

ath_the_athenian_bureaucracy_advance

As our rulers transitioned toward absolute rule, they replaced the fractious feudal lords with a meritocratic civil service drawn from the urban bourgeoisie. This centralized administration ensures that taxes are collected efficiently and the ruler's law is enforced uniformly from Marathon to Megara. By breaking the power of the old baronial families, our nation has become a streamlined, modern state capable of rapid mobilization.
