The Council of Priori

sie_council_priori

The Nine Priors of our republic, drawn exclusively from the merchant guilds of Siena and barred to the high nobility whose factional rivalries brought every previous government to ruin, have shaped the city's governance with an administrative diligence that our more aristocratic neighbors cannot match. Their terms are brief and their accountability public, making sustained corruption harder to conceal and factional manipulation harder to dress in the language of civic virtue. Merchant governance lends our institutions a practical competence and a legitimacy grounded in commerce and consent rather than an accident of birth.
