I am thinking about detailing Colt a little more....my thoughts so far.

Colt broke away form the Association because they shifted to a form of Direct Democracy, casting off the last vestiges of the old monarchies and tyrannies that ruled within the Association and still rule there in the minds of the Colts.

Democracy...

In Colt all adult citizens have the right to vote in the Monthly General Assemblies. There are two types of citizens in Colt, those that are natural (birth-right) citizens and those that are natuarlized. Each potential group has a process to become a voting member of society. Citizens vote on all laws within Colt.

Within the Assembly there is a Council that is selected by lot from the (Voting-Eligible) Citizens of Colt to serve two year terms. (Size of the Council to be determined currently thinking 500 members) Each year half of the Council is selected allowing for overlap in terms. The role of the council is first to manage the Assembly. Planning agendas, writing legislation, disseminating information to the citizens, getting people out to vote...it is a lot of work. Citizens can not serve on the Council for more than two consective terms and must have off an equal number of terms between service. They can not serve on the Council more than 10 times in their life. (More details to come)

Generals, Magistrates, Tresarusy Officials, Judges, and a few other positions are elected by the Assembly. These roles have term limits both in duration and number of terms served. Details to be worked out.
