The Empire of Magnierra

The Empire of Magnierra is often regarded the most powerful of the Empires of North Frilidi, lead by King Albex. It's capital is Pelmonsis.

Political System
Magnierra has several different political bodies, called "Houses", only one of which is an elected one (although it's legitimacy is debatable).

Noble House
This House is formed by the noble families of Magnierra, often relatives of the monarch, or allies that have been granted this title or have had it passed down to them, and is lead by the Monarch.

This House has the ultimate say over any decision, with the Monarch holding the Veto vote over anything.

Democratic House
The Democratic House is, as the name suggests, the only elected house, and the biggest, with 850 representatives total.

Elections take place every five years, on the Summer Solstice, and places are allocated proportionally to every vote, with every 100,000 votes equating to a member in the House.

However, there is a lot mysticism regarding the results, as all the results are handled by monarch-appointed magic users (due to ease of transportation of the votes), with no oversight by anyone else, with many people suggesting that the results are being tampered with by the monarch, or influenced by the Alliance of Magus, which many believe to be using magic users in other countries as spies.

Magical House
Formed by the twelve highest ranking magic users at the Academia of Magical Arts in Pelmonsis, it acts as an advisory "hivemind" to the monarch and is regarded as the most neutral part of the political system, distant to both the political squabbles elected memebers have to deal with and the tiny nuances of the nobilty.

Leaders, called Arch-magicians or Arch-Magi, are elected by the group and only re-elected if another member joins the group (which is rather infrequent). The members are locked inside a chamber, debating and voting on a leader until a clear majority is reached, after which a celebration is held across the country name of the past Arch-Magician.
