Dragandr Meritocratic Monarchy

The Dragandr Meritocratic Monarchy is the government that rules the Dragandr. It is the most recent of many governments the Dragandr have had over the past 10,000 years, based off of the Karnasaur Meritocratic Federation, who helped them get into space. Though colonies of the Dragandr are allowed to have their own governments and rules, any that are opposed to those of the Dragandr's are opposed by the Dragandr. Usually if this hapens the Dragandr will pressure the government to change it, but if they refuse more action may be used against them.

History
Before the formation of the current government, the Dragandr had a series of governments, including a theocracy, democratic timocracy, geniocracy, dictatorship, and then finally an oligarchy consisting of two consuls.

However; after the events of the Second Dragandr Civil War and the Llyss'Adain Conflict, the race was thrown in temporary anarchy as there was no agreement upon government. However; with the help of the Karnasaurs, they formed a monarchy, and after reaching space, formed a meritocratic monarchy to avoid corruption, and formed a council.

Government
The government of the Dragandr revolves around a single leader, called the Philosopher King (or Queen if a female is chosen), who leads the government. They make most of the decisions of the race, though their actions can be overturned by the Sage Council.

Philosopher King/Queen
The Philosopher King is the leader of the Dragandr and head figure of the government. As leader, they decide on how the empire should go, whether it be war, use of new knowledge, capital crimes, and other legislative tasks. Also, they can call a council meeting between the Sage Council and themself if they need advice. Sometimes, if the leader is truly unsure, they may ask the Sage Council to vote for what to do.

Sage Council
The Sage Council is a relatively new legislative body, made to balance the power of the Philosopher King. They are basically a group of advisors with the power to pass legislative actions if the king or queen is undecided. Also, if a majority of the populace agrees, the Sage Council can vote to kick out the leader if they are doing a bad job.

The current members of the Sage Council are as followed:


 * Plato'Homerus, unofficial leader of the Council
 * Xorin'Juti
 * Kintus'Maa
 * Jurrt'Kali
 * Dreng'Puru
 * Yurid'Klinu
 * Ashtar'Rotho
