Great Levantia: Difference between revisions

The governing structure of Great Levantia changed considerably throughout its millennia in existence. For the first five hundred years of the state, Great Levantia was a classical republic featuring a non-legislative elder council known as the Senate, two executive consuls, a popular assembly through which laws were passed, and a variety of magistrates who served in various administrative roles. Historians believe this form of government was adapted from other city-states within [[Adonerum]] given its remarkable similarity to apparatuses within the modern [[Government of Caphiria]]. Not all of the institutions mentioned or typically associated with the republican government existed at the beginning; many scholars have argued that the Consular office and Senate were initially one body, an executive college of sorts, that eventually was divided into two separate institutions. Within the government, Great Levantia's class system - of noble patricians and plebians - influenced who could hold office. Throughout the republican period, plebians made continued advances towards gaining power, and the increase of the power of the Popular Assembly caused considerably instability during the final century of the republic's existence.
