Republic

A Republic is a form of government or country in which power resides in elected individuals representing the citizen body and government leaders exercise power according to the rule of law. It's one of the forms of government present in the TAN, although it's only practiced in Nuriah.

During the Scrolls a growing support for the republic is observed in Erenford, Denvorn and Kightsbridge. Many Kighstbridgian regions intend to become republics after their independence. In Denvorn, during the Second and Third Scrolls, republicans such as Pennyworth, Bonnie Purdue and Matthias Schlotthauer plot to overthrow Queen Jovanna of Denvorn and institute a Republic, but ultimately fail.

At the end of the Fourth Scroll, Elaine of Erenford is crowned Queen of Erenford and immediately abdicates, instituting a republic and announcing her intention of running for office.
