Basic Government
Skandia is ruled by a Democratic Council consisting of its current President, and a total of five councilors. The president serves a life long term, and each councilor a one month term in which they may be re-elected, at the most, twice. Each councilor is in charge of a different region of Skandia, and each are chosen by the players. During meetings, each councilor's vote counts as one (but the PvP Operations Councilor who counts as 0 unless there is a tie), and the leader's as two.
