The Question of Concio
Historically, the Ruler Title of Country has been elected by the Concio, a group of freemen representing the city's populace. However, recent times have seen the Nobility increasingly trying to usurp control over the election process. This shift has sparked unrest among the Burghers, who view this as a direct threat to their traditional rights. The situation is tense, and we must decide whether to side with the Nobility or support the Burghers to prevent further escalation.

3668historical_info = flavor_ven.71.historical_info Historically, the Concio played a crucial role in the governance of Venice, symbolizing the republic's commitment to involving its freemen in the election of the Doge. However, as Venice grew in wealth and power, the nobility and influential merchant families sought to consolidate their control, advocating for changes that would limit the electoral process to a select few. As it was continuously deprived of power, the Concio became useless and was finally abolished in 1423.
