Government
The government of Ashina Clan is supposedly modeled after that of the monarchy of traditional Japan, a shogunate. It maintains the following ranks,[1]
- Merchant
- Craftsman
- Imperial Ensemble
- Gonin Gumi
- Machi-Bugyo
- Samurai
- Gaikoku Bugyo
- Daimyo
- Metsuke
- Shogun
- Court Nobility
- Emperor
The Ashina clan's membership is divided into states called han, which are controlled by Daimyo with some level of autonomy, each equipped with its own military and police force, along with state-specific rules. Metsuke are employed to discover and investigate instances of corruption. Gaikoku Bugyo are commissioners who oversee trade and foreign relations, even with over han. The only exception is that only Daimyo can oversee the realations between their own state and others. Machi-Bugyo are Hatamoto Samurai appointed by their Daimyo to be a governor of the Daimyo's han. Gonin Gumi are each Daimyo's police force, made to find those that break the rules. The Shogun is the commander of the entire military, and holds power over Daimyo if they get out of order. Court Nobility is the nominal ruling court, they have say in larger matters than the Shogun, but still need the Emperor's approval. The Emperor is the head of the clan, having been selected by the previous Emperor, voted in by members of Ashina, or the previous Daimyo of a state that conquered the competition in a scrabble.
Rules
Ashina Clan established the following rules,[1]
- "Each Emperor must chose[sic] a member to become the next once said Emperor retires."
