The nation within the walls is a monarchy, so at the head of the government, there is a royal family. The royal family that ruled the walls in the last century, the Fritz family, is in fact a puppet family while the Reiss, the true rulers, lead the nation in the background. Because of the fact that the Fritz family are puppets and have no authority, there is an assembly, comprised of 4 high-ranking officials that represent the different branches of the walled society (economy, military, nobility, and religion) that respond and administrate the country as the Reiss family wants it. There are also mayors, that administrate the different walled districts such as Stohess or Trost, and various people from the nobility that also takes decisions and/or represent their family or their organization, which can be a political or a trade organization. The royal government is mainly conservative.

Qualities
