The higher governments are currently not open to the players and are composed entirely of NPCs. These higher up officials rarely appear and mostly leave business to the lower governments.

Revision as of 04:20, 24 August 2010
In Ryzom, players are able to become members of the lower branches of the governments. This allows them some say in how their nation reacts to the various events happening on Atys.
There are 4 nations in Ryzom, each corresponding to one of the four homin races. Each nation has it's own government, and it's own system by which the members of that government are chosen.
According to lore, the governments also differ greatly in their roles, duties and responsibilities. But in the current ingame reality they mostly all fulfil equivalent roles.

Lower governments
Fyros: The Akenak
The Fyros lower government is called the Akenak. It is made up of at most 5 members, and an individual member of this government is also called an Akenak. (The plural of this is also Akenak, thus the Akenak is made up of 5 Akenak.) The title given to players on this government is 'Fyros Akenak'.
The Akenak are chosen by election, which is held once every Jena Year (73 days IRL). Only citizens of the Fyros nation are allowed to run for Akenak, and only citizens of the Fyros nation are allowed to vote. The 5 candidates who receive the most votes become the Akenak for the following year.
The current Akenak (year 2551) are:
- Trykerguy
- Thedon Garus (NPC member)
Former or inactive Akenak include:
- Khandoma
- Liliang
- Vinnie
- Xadyn
Tryker: The Taliari
The Tryker lower government is called the Taliari. An individual member of this government is called a Taliar (Taliari is the plural). The title given to players on this government is 'Tryker Taliar'.
There is no fixed number of Taliari. Every leader of an active Tryker-aligned guild (or tribe) is automatically a Taliar, provided they are also a citizen of the Tryker nation. Thus the number of Taliari depends on how many of those guilds there are. A high officer of the guild can take over the duties of Taliar if the leader is absent, but they cannot actually become a Taliar.
The current Taliari (year 2551) are:
- Hechicera of Aeden Artisans
- Kilgoretrout of Ballistic Mystix
- Uatu of AtysGhosts
- Padger O'Toogh of the Guild of Hawkers (NPC member)
- Shaley Nara of the Guild of Try (NPC member)
- Ba'nakry Codgan of the Corsairs (NPC member)
- Be'Keeer Breggan of the Silt Sculptors (NPC member)
- Ba-Ben Len of the Beachcombers (NPC member)
Former or inactive Taliari include:
- Crythos of Evolution
- Neun of Nexus
- Rael of Guardians of Jena
- Sweetmarie of Hearts of Thunder
Matis: The Nobles
The Matis lower government is called the Chamber of Nobles. An individual member of this government is called a Noble (Nobles is the plural). The title given to players on this government is 'Matis Noble'.
There is no fixed number of Nobles. The Nobles are selected by the King out of guilds loyal to the Matis nation. Each such guild is then allowed to have two of it's members promoted to be Nobles: the guild leader and one high officer. To become Nobles they must be citizens of the Matis nation and followers of the Karavan.
The current Nobles (year 2551) are:
- Loracas from Cara Via
- Dazzie from Cara Via
- Sharonie from Legion of Atys
- Jayce from Reapers of the Dark
- Marelli from Reapers of the Dark
- Meagon from Order of the Nameless
Former or inactive Taliari include:
- Hans from Legion of Atys
Zoraï: The Awakened
The Zoraï lower government, having no special name, is made up out of all the citizens of the Zoraï nation. However, some of those are given higher status, including more responsibility and a special title. They are called the Awakened. The title given to players who receive this status is 'Zoraï Awakened'.
Who becomes an Awakened is decided by the Zoraï sages, and it is unknown which criteria they use to decide. It is known however that to become an Awakened, one must at least be a citizen of the Zoraï nation and a follower of the Kami.
Currently (year 2551) there are only two Awakened:
- Aeralin
- Wan Fai-Du (NPC member)
Higher governments
The higher governments are currently not open to the players and are composed entirely of NPCs. These higher up officials rarely appear and mostly leave business to the lower governments. They do appear in particularly important situations though, and can overrule decisions of the lower governments if they disagree with it.
