Government of Aresia
A citizen in Aresia is a male of 18 years or older, who also went through basic Aresian schooling and military training. The Aresian government is primarily democratic. The system consists of several positions. There are 3 leaders, each with an Ephor serving as an advisor. The leader of law mostly deals with law, the leader of war deals primarily with the military, and Religion deals with Religious services throughout the city state. Each ephor helps out the leaders so that the leaders do not get stressed out. There is a council of 500 that dictates everyday life and the problems that come with it. As a council of 500, the group takes an efficient part in society as they help veto laws and deal with the population on an everyday basis. Next, there is a general assembly of all male citizens, aged 21+. There are about 1507 people in the assembly. The assembly votes on proposed laws from the council and is also in charge of choosing new council and ephor members each year. The role of the assembly is to ensure that as many citizens take part in government as possible. The council and ephor members change in order to keep new ideas flowing. The court system would have an anonymous jury of 1003 people and 3 judges. The jury helps out the law leader by determining the fate of a person who wronged the city state. The jury votes on a decision and the majority influences the outcome of the trial. Overall, the government is militaristic and focuses on naval endeavors.
