Confederate representatives

The Confederate Representatives were the governing body of the Confederation of Lagua. Each of the 14 human regions sent forth a representative to the capital city, Lagua, to speak their regions voice in the political decisions which would affect the whole Confederacy. These decisions usually were militaristic in topic, as the main reason for the Confederacy was to protect each region from outside attack.

Different regions chose their representative differently. The democratic regions elected their representatives and had them hold the office for a period between 3 and 10 years. The two oligarchic regions chose one of the nobility from their ruling body to leave his local governance to take on national governance. The other regions, all monarchical, sent a representative chosen by their king who was often a brother, cousin, or son. In the case of the Lagua region, the King actually acted as his own representative because the Confederate Representatives met in his castle. This led for their to be a strong balance of power leaning to the favor of the Lagua family. While it would be horribly illegal for the Laguan King to have a representative killed for disagreement, it was often enough that one would be accused of a royal crime and sent home. Then, a new, less-experienced representative would come to fill his place.
