Republic

republic

A Republic is a Government Type where the Rulers are chosen by Election to serve as the representants of the citizen body for a set period of time. Depending on the Succession Law the Ruler may belong to any of the Estates.

The strength of the political institutions makes Republics more resilient to inheritance issues, but the less personal nature of rule limits the diplomatic tools at their disposal. As such, Dynasties play a lesser role and Republics cannot benefit from Royal Marriages.
