Archive:Ragusa: Difference between revisions

 

The basis of Ragusan political system is the Senate. Every citizen of Ragusa can participate in it if he owns a house inside the city. The senate picks citizens to fill all the political positions the Republic needs. The Consul is the highest position a Ragusan can get, as the position is almost as an elected king, altough a Consul must act inside the guidelines of the Senate and has a an indefinite term limit. The Senate can call a vote of no confidence to remove the Consul from the power at any time. During a war the Consul can act as a Dictator and has king-like powers (he doesn't have to listen to the Senate). A Consul can elect his second in command, the Promagistrate, who acts as a Consul when he is not present. The Praetor is an elected high judge for the republic.
