Necia

Government

The Necian League is a Democratic Republic, comprised of sixty city-states of seafaring Men and Glauca, who have come together to work the seas in mutual cooperation. Each city-state is run with limited autonomy by a tribe who draws lots in their town forum every year to determine who will be their Chieftain. The Chieftain is a city-state's leader, but he also represents his tribe's interests when all Chieftains gather in the Beacon City of Demos, capital of the Necian League. Though usually lacking a strong central power, the Chieftains of the League may cast lots in times of duress to appoint one Chieftain with powers of Dictator, enabling quick decisions needed to defeat grave enemies.
