Civics Mod

Warlord: The person in power is the leader of the biggest military faction, like the ruler of the most powerful clan, city or highest commander in the army.
Leader Cult: The person in power is revered as being above the rest of the citizens by the rest of the society and whose rulings are beyond questioning. He might be an incarnation of a god, possessed by an over natural being or something similar.

Royals: The ruler remains from the same family, leadership passing down to the one who inherits him when the ruler dies or abdicates. The ruler is still not considered to be divine except by maybe some shady proclamation that no one really believes in, but his kin has by tradition bin set to rule and the society is content with keeping it that way.

Magistrate: The state is governed by a group of people who is considered to be the most learned and wise citizens. Learning institutions are wide spread to find these people and educate them, but too much free thinking and questioning of the leaders in power are disliked.

Theocracy: The state is governed by a group of people who is considered to be the foremost interpreters of the state religion.

Assembly: No single permanent ruler has power, although some person might be issued to take care of the armed forces or certain administrative task for a limited amount of time. Local leaders and otherwise important citizens participate in a parliament that are responsible for the lawmaking. This parliament usually get divided into different fractions that compete for power.

Code: The state is ruled by more of an idea than of a person. That idea might be something that are a consensus by a all the citizens or some written text that outline how the state should be governed and how the citizens should act. There is still someone in power, but he has a very little degree in freedom on what decisions he may take. To change a code requires a total change in social structure and is not a simple task.

Local Customs: The laws shift from village to village, culture to culture. The authority let the local leader rule as he will, as long as he is loyal to the major ruler.

Alliance: The state is not a single state, but an alliance of independent states bound together by common culture and interests. No state are usually big enough to require a extensive formalized executive power, this are usually handled by the local authority directly. There are no capitol, although one state are usually leading the alliance or at least being the the dominating part.

Governors. Governers ruling large provinces are apponted by the highest authoroties for a short amount of time so that they don't build up a powerbase that become a threat to goverment. This means that governers are mostly intrested in accumulating as much wealth from their position as they can get away with before their term is over and they head home to the capital.

Graduated Officals. The officials handling the day to day governace of the state is required to have passed an exam before applying. This give all officials a basic competence, but unfortunatly doesn't stop them from being corrupt once they reach top positions in the goverment. Not all graduees earn a position in the state govermant, but those that doesn't can use their knowledge in other functions in the societe.

Vassalage: The state has a structure with a hierarchical class of tax-freed landowners that governs most of land, who in return are forced to maintain a fighting force during part of the year. This allows for a quickly assembled low-cost army, but limits commerce but doesn’t solve issues of providing the state with fleet and long term standing armies.

Free Cities. A vassal system where large cities have bought freedom from the system, still obiding state laws but having gain freedom to make laws concerning trade and behaviour within the city. Rich vassals may also choose to buy freedom from force requirements, allowing for the goverment to purchase mercenaries and a small proffesional army.

Empire: The empire takes a very pragmatically approach to government, locally choosing the choice of government that best serve their interest. The priority of an empire is to get in taxes, so that they can a have an experienced standing army to assist the local authorities in trouble areas.

Tribes: People are strongly defined by where they are born and what family and tribe they belong to.

Slavery: People are divided between free people and slaves, which are the property of other citizens. Most middle and high class citizens own slaves who are being their servants and doing any hard labor in the businesses the owners run. Slavedom can occur due to penalties due to crime or bankruptcy, but on the other side it is common for well behaving slaves to earn their freedom and nativity are usually low among slaves. So unless the slave class can be filled up from enslaving people in raids or military conflicts the availability of slaves naturally get drained.

Serfdom: People living in the rural areas are bound to live where they live and may not move. This leaves them very exploitable to the landowners who can easily accumulate wealth on their behalf.

Pawns: All people are the property of the ruler, although he usually allows some degree of freedom. But he is ultimately free to choose to order his subjects around as he feels like.

Apprenticeship: The conduction of advanced professions is heavily regulated. No one may not choose such a profession without having got permission by others in that profession. In the rural areas this doesn’t have much impact, but in cities people have to spend a long in apprenticeship before being free to practice a profession on their own.

Caste System: Citizens are born into a class that defines what profession they may choose.

Meritocracy: Citizens are free to choose profession as they want, and the most merited candidate is always chosen for each position in government positions. Often but not always this is rubbed off on the private market.

Collectives: Property that can be useful to all inhabitants in a society is owned collectively and the bigger part of all land is also common property. All the gains from common land use are shared equally between the users.

Crusade: The nation is at war, and the society putting in all available resources and manpower into winning it. All aspects of the society not applicable to the war effort will be stalled until the crusade is called of.

Opportunistic: Most settlements are isolated without any major contact with the outer world. People try to survive best as the can, trying to farm and trade whenever possible.

Agrarian: The economy is based around farming for substantiveness. People live a simple life without much luxury or excess, but compensate by living a much richer social life. The little trade that is going on is usually made up by bartering and counter favors, and most taxes are paid by working at the local governors mansion.

Militarized: The military has a controlling hand over the economy. They may put demands on producers on what they shall manufacture and takes precedence over private production. Monetary transactions are looked upon with much suspicion, as pursuit of wealth often interfere with the needs of the military.

Permit based: The economy is based around the rural economy, but trade centers are playing an important part in the economy. Trade is heavily regulated, and much taxes are collected by permits, tolls and seasonal markets.

Mercantilism: The economy is becoming international and urban. To protect its own production tariffs and tolls are placed on foreign goods contributing to a large part of to governmental income. On the other hand a large effort is made into subsidizing the own economy and exporting goods in return for foreign resources and currency.

Open Markets: The economy is becoming international and urban. The government is trying to prosper from it by freely allowing traders to it cities in return for the same treatment from those they trade with.

Kinship: The people that are most revered is those that can contribute to a good life and protection for their family and tribe.

Entrepreneurship: The people that are most revered is those that create new fortunes. Inherited wealth and unjust business doesn’t cut it, wealth by intelligent business and innovative ideas are what bring status in the society.

Rejoice: People are judged on how happy they are and how much happiness they spread to those around them. This can easily lead to a social life with a lot of excesses, and scoring political points is simplest made be casting extravagant parties and fonding large public entertainment events.

Knowledge: The people that are most revered have great knowledge and make groundbreaking discoveries in new areas. Specialist knowledge in one area is liked but those really looked up upon are those making progress in multiple fields.

Leadership: People devotedly look up on those that seek leadership and prove their ability to handle it. Military, financial and political leadership is considered sides of the same coin, and leaders in one field have to seek success in the other as well, or events might soon leave them sidestepped.

Excellence: Everyone is brought up with the idea that whatever one is set to do, one should try it best all the time. As a consequence, many devote themselves completely to their profession and achieve great skills in it.

Modesty: In this society living in excess and luxury is frowned upon. The people that are most revered is those that focus their time to develop their inner strength, and use any wealth and influence to help out those in greater need.

Justice: To make gains on expense of weak, poor or innocent is not acceptable. If one should notice anyone else acting in this fashion, it is ones duty to interfere on behalf of those taken advantage of.

Contribution: People are being judged on how much they add to the society. It is absolutely a cultural requirement to be successful in ones business, but if that isn't complemented with being a devout follower of the state religion and and contributing to the society as a hole, that person will only be looked upon as an ill liked profiteer.
