- An expanded article on the religion of Mithra.
- King/Rulership
- Tiberia has a King not an Emperor, as it is no longer an empire. It is, in fact, a Representative Democratic Oligarchy with a King and Queen, a Senate and elected Representatives. Like most oligarchies, the political power rests in the hands of a few dozen senators typically from the noble houses. However, noble houses in Tiberia often rise and fall in accordance to their popularity. All gatherings of the state are open to elected representatives whose sole job is to report what is happening directly to the people in their region.
- Senate
- Senators must be over the age of 35. The Senate meets once a month to discuss public works projects, kingdom economics, social reforms, laws, holidays and so forth. The King/Queen is present, and only intervene if they believe the topic has strayed from the religious law. Hundreds of other representatives also attend, although they are expected to remain silent during the proceedings. They usually are. Representatives, acting much like journalists, report on the activities of the senate gatherings, often with highly biased political commentary. Senators tend to refer to Representatives as little more than rabble-rousers. Fortunately, religious law includes some very harsh punishments for outright lying.
- The Senate may also be used as a court if there is a challenge made against one of the senators or representatives by other senators, representatives, the King, or Queen. A noble house may lose their place in the Senate for any number of reasons; breaking a religious law, a vote by the people from the region of the noble houses, or -more popularly- by assassination.
