Editing Trinity:Coldlands Territory (section)

==Political Structure==
Part of the reason that Fortang Diaclo was so successful in creating a revolution was due to how horribly treated he and other humans were by the ruling elves. Vowing that such a thing would never happen again, Diaclo instituted a democratic government, one in which ''all'' of the people chose their rulers, and on a regular basis. While this made for a relatively unstable government, Diaclo felt it was far better than that which the elitist elves had instituted in Adren, which made it impossible for any humans or other similarly-short-lived races to contribute to their country.

The common people of the Coldlands Territory vote every five years on their representatives, which are known collectively as the House of Commons. Each city that is recognized by the government is allowed to send a number of representatives based on their population to the House. Every ten years, the House of Commons votes on a new Chief of State, who then serves for ten years.

Knowing that it was their longevity that allowed them to retain so much power, Diaclo ensured that no person could serve as the Chief of State for more than twenty years, nor on the House of Commons for more than fifty. This would ensure that there was at least some changes in the governing body, rather than almost none, as it was in Adren.
