Edit background:

The People of Anatolia, in the year 2000BC were conquered by a horde of people from the North-East, descriptions are rare and far between, but they all describe a deluge of Nomadic Horsepeople descending on the Peoples of Asia Minor. Records of the Civilisation have not survived from these times and thus History has named them after the region. The Nomads came to Anatolia and were greatly attracted to the regions relative wealth, the nomads, used to a much Harder lifestyle Took this region for good and decided to settle, although they still led a nomadic lifestyle it was contained to this region. Horses, Cattle and Goats were these peoples food.
The natives of the land were forced into a small area on the coast of the Bosphorus strait were the only real population centres were kept.
During the interm of this native population movement a Warcheif of one of the Nomad people fought a series of brutal tribal wars and united them under one banner. The small town centres were approached and they capitulated joining the Nomads under that banner.
Effectivly this lead to a King who spends half his life living that of a Nomad, the other half as the administrator to the Country. Due to the King being absent for half the year, a "Constitution" of sorts was drawn up so the peoples could be governed when the King left them.

 

[ThomAnder]

Constitutional monarchy in bronze age? hmm when was it first used anyway?

 

[Kal'thzar]

read background, thats the context, bascially a set of rules so order etc is maintained.

First one I know about is the British one. I think this came into effect after the Civil war.

[Princeps]

It's all right, though I am deciding the actual values for the Category.

 

[Kejixu]

Huh? Why can't we decide for the category?

 

[North King]

Huh? Why can't we decide for the category?

Because people keep giving absolute monarchies a political freedom rating of 7, and I don't want to write about 50 dozen coups.

 

[Kejixu]

Hmmm... stupid question but what are coups?

 

[North King]

Hmmm... stupid question but what are coups?

Removal of the goverment in power to replace it with a newer one more to the liking of those who ran the coup.

Brief OC rundown of the government:
Various tribes, run mostly as separate entities, have representatives in the council that meets triannually at Anuradhapura to discuss issues concerning Sinhala as a whole. While the tribes otherwise act as largely separate entities, they are subject to the laws of the Council and are unified on foreign affairs. While the Council is not in session, the chief of the council, Maha Parakramabahu, holds absolute power over the tribes should he choose to exercise it.

 

[North King]

Dear... Gods...

I hate to say this, Cuiv, but Sinhala is already occupied by a PC and an NPC. if you want, you can exchange places with the NPC, but it's already occupied...

 

[Capulet]

There's a NPC on the same island as me?

 

[North King]

There's a NPC on the same island as me?

Yeah... I told you that over AIM, didn't I?

Not a powerful one by any means, do not worry.
