Pre-Collapse Falkean Civilization

Government: In the time before the North Sea Marauders drove the Falkeans from their ancestral home their governmental system could best be described as an elective monarchy, with the elected monarch serving as a figure head for the assembly of princes that truly ran the nation. Each prince would rule their own little fiefdom and would be serve as it's representative at the Sejim which convinced three times a year at the foremost city of the Falkean nation. This arrangement came into existence after a King Bogusław the Mad led a reign of terror that lasted nearly seventy-five years. This period of strife came to an end when a coalition of the nobility and the clergy rebelled and overthrew the made king. After the deposing of King Bogusław a conclave was held to appoint a new King, but since the previous royal family was unfortunately killed during the sack of First City, the conclave spent nearly twenty years in debate and argument trying to reach a decision that all the parties involved could agree with. Over this period the conclave eventually came to a compromise where one of them would be elected and serve as monarch until their death when a new monarch would be selected. They also decided since they had been ruling fine during the period of their great debate so there was no reason to return the executive and legislative powers they had held so they reduced the monarch to little more than a figurehead for the Sejim.
