Steppe Horde
Government Type

Steppe Horde

steppe_horde

A Steppe Horde is a Government Type based upon on military power of its Ruler. Relatives of the current Ruler have a higher chance to become the Heir, but seniority and personal Abilities are also highly regarded.

Rulers are issued from the elite members of the society and will only keep the loyalty of their peers as long as they prove themselves capable of subjugating, razing, and plundering neighboring Countries. Because of that, succession is a momentous event for a Steppe Horde, and might even lead to collapse if the new Ruler fails to demonstrate its might.
