Royal Government (Anime)

The Royal Government (王政府) is the ruling system over the people of the Walls. For the past hundred years, a series of false monarchs acted as the face of the government while the true royal family, the Reiss family, ruled from the shadows. Following the coup d'état, the false King was overthrown and Historia Reiss crowned as the new Queen.

Duty
The royal government's duty is to administrate humanity's politics, economy, military and society. It also has the obligation to protect the civilians within the Walls.

Structure
The government is a monarchy and the royal family that ruled the walls for the last century, the Fritz family. However, they were in fact puppets while the family lead the nation from the shadows. There is also an assembly, comprised of high-ranking officials who represent the different branches of the society (economic, military, nobility, and religious) that respond and administrate the country as the Reiss family wills it. At the lower levels there are also mayors who administrate the different districts such as Stohess or Trost.

Following the coup d'état, the military under Dhalis Zachary take over the government. The new government then crowns Historia Reiss as the new queen of the nation within the walls.

Qualities
Even though the royal government under the false King Fritz was crippled with corruption, it managed to protect the walled nation from civil wars in the last century. It is supported by the Interior Police who are fanatically devoted to protecting the peace within the Walls, even if it means killing and torturing to maintain their current state of tranquility.

History
During the reign of Uri Reiss, one of the members of the council informed Kenny Ackermann of the Reiss family's true lineage. Rod Reiss and Uri realized that they needed to root out the identity of the informant. After Kenny's attempt to assassinate Uri failed, this member was removed from his position and Kenny was rewarded with his place at the council.

The Fall of Shiganshina arc
In 846, the royal government decided to abandon the territory within Wall Maria, one year after its fall.
