Political structure of the New Trykoth Federation

The New Trykoth Federation is the most democratic government of Atys in accordance with the free and independent spirit of the Trykers. The Federation is not ruled by a centralized government but rather through decisions taken by an assembly of guild and clan leaders. The governor is nothing but a guarantee of stability in the Federation, thus decisions and orders do not move down through a pyramid structure of leadership, but are proposed and decided by the members of the Taliari assembly and empowered by an executive power.

The Governor

The Governor:
* Appoints the Vice-Governor.
* Represents the Tryker people in encounters with the other peoples.
* Ratifies the elections of ambassadors who will represent the state’s interests in foreign lands. The ambassadors negotiate treaties and contracts with the other peoples, and after Taliari approval the governor has to ratify them .
* Ratifies the elections of the Kard’al.
* May declare war on aggressors against the interests of the state, with approval of the Taliari.
* Controls and ratifies the actions of the Vice-Governor concerning the behavior of the Federation (at Kard’al and Ambassador level).
* May bring charges against a guild of the Lakes in case they commit offenses.

Role of the Taliari

Executive power of the internal Lakes politics mainly:
* Management of resources, including outposts.
* Management of commerce: markets, faires, water-routes, caravans, etc…
* Supervision of the Kard’al: the Taliari prepare elections and appoint the Kard’al for the Governor for ratification.
* They accept or reject law propositions made by the Kard’al, and pass the accepted laws on for the governor for ratification. They have the right to control the Kard’al and their actions regarding their towns.
* Supervision of the ambassadors: The Taliari collect the names of candidate-ambassadors before passing them on to the Governor. They accept or reject propostions of treaties made by ambassadors, also to be checked by the Governor, and send ambassadors, when needed, on diplomatic or commercial missions to the other Peoples.
* Keeping the registry of the Cryai up to date.
* Resolve minor issues and administer minor justice. For example they recieve and treat complaints of Lakes inhabitants or send them on to the vice-governor in case of a major issue.
* The governor needs to have permission of the Taliari to declare war. Such a permission is only valid for 2 Jena years (5 months IRL), after which a revote has to take place.
* Gathering of all Cryai and Ancryai, having obtained a minimum training level to raise an army, under the rule of the Tryker Governor. The Taliari can decide to dismiss a Cryai if they are significantly or completely abscent; the assembly decides the sanction, which is to be ratified by the governor if he deems it just.
* Determining exceptional taxes for a war effort.

The assembly and voting system

The votes of Taliari take place in the following manner:
* At the beginning of the assembly, a Tryker will pass out three special items to every Tailar or his representative: Three pearls of different colors: blue, black and violet. The colors have the following symbolic meaning: The blue pearl of the Lakes means a positive vote, the black pearl of the Prime Roots means abstention, the violet pearl of the Jungle means a negative vote.
* A blind Tryker citizen will gather the pearls (votes), which guarantees the anonymity of the vote. In the case of an equal vote, the blind Tryker is asked to pick one of two pearls: blue or violet. His chosen pearl will count as another vote and will therefore swing the vote.
* Votes will be counted by the currently presiding First Tailar.
