Government and Law Enforcement

Government

The current government consists two groups that occassionally meet together to discuss issues.

The Council of Nine is made of up the nine mage founders of the realm. They act as the main ruling council. They act as judges in trials and have the final say in the approval of laws. This council is commonly called the 'Grand Council' amoung non-mages.

The Board of Voices is made of nine members of the non-mage population. Three of these seats are choosen by election every three years. Each member must be at least 18 years old to serve. There are currently no other restrictions on these members.

Government Building

The Unity Assembly Hall serves as both council house, court house and jail. This is located across from the Market Plaza in central Unity.

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement in the realm consists of seven sheriffs that lead up to six deputies each. Though currently most only have one or two deputies. The deputies typically take the overnight watches, and help with paperwork and more tedious tasks.

There is one dispatcher, named Lucy. Lucy is an AI constructed by Mercurial Elites. She is available 24/7, requires no sleep, and is "everywhere". Every household has hand-held emergency device that when activated is the equivalent of a 911 to Lucy. These devices often take the form of primitive cell phones, walkie-talkies, and in at least one instance a giant red button under a protective glass dome.

Sheriff units have specially encrypted frequencies on their communication devices so the populace can't interfere in their work.
