Perrenland Government

Local

At the local level, Perrenland is plagued with variety but blessed with stability. Whatever the political composition of a settlement (stadt), as long as it adheres to the laws and traditions of Perrenland it is accepted as Perrenese.

Older stadts often follow the traditions of their clan, and have a hereditary noble, the Landgraf, born into the position of authority. These settlements are usually dominated by members of one clan, and other clans and outsiders have little political power other than what they can earn through respect and hard work.

Newer stadts tend to follow the newer model of Perrenland society, where clan lines are blurred and members of many different clans can be found. These settlements generally elect a local leader, the Hetmann. Many of these settlements also elect a council, usually called the Stadt Council, to advise the Hetmann.
