Government
The government of Valoria can be considered a dictatorial monarchy. The Lord Protector is head of the state, he appoints Ministers and, through them, decides over the fate of the whole country. However "Royal Advisors" are elected from the people, to voice the peoples wishes to the Lord Protector. While he is not bound to do as they say, the Lord Protector usually heeds the words of his advisors. Since his leadership has been wise and productive so far, the people are very happy about this government.
