Gildania

Government
Gildania is ruled by an elected monarch, known as an elector. They rule with a personally picked group of advisors. The position is known to be a dangerous one, no matter how good the current elector is as a ruler, they will be almost constantly in danger.

Choosing a new Elector

Once every five years, or when the previous elector dies (whichever comes first), an election is held to decide the next ruler. These elections have no votes, and are rather brutal spectacles. When an election is called, up to two-dozen "randomly" selected citizens are chosen to be candidates for the crown, whoever gets dragged to the palace and has the crown thrust upon their head first "wins" and becomes the elector for the next 5 years.

Elector Nico

The current elector of Gildania is Nico Three-Fingers, an ex-crime lord. He has ruled for 1 year, and has survived about three-dozen assassination attempts during that time. There are rumors that a rival gang wanted him out of the way and pulled some strings to get him chosen as a candidate, if these rumors are true, Nico's stubborn survival must be making it even worse for the rival gang.
