This is a list of all the parts of the political system. It starts with the active elements. Under that are the constant parts.

It is vital that the parts inside the game are relative static but their relations contain almost all the changes. The economy can grow or collapse but that would take a long time to happen. The nature of the different guilds is not static at all, it can be influenced by all the members relative to their status inside the guild. The status inside a guild can change when a person performs tasks of overall importance of the guild.

It is vital to the gameplay that larger guilds with more status are also more slow to adapt to changes. They cannot go out and crush all the rest because that would take too much time. A war can be fought but the guild cannot changes its opinion to attack another guild within weeks after a war is won. Small guilds are far more flexible but inherently less powerfull. A guild in problems will also get more flexible.
