Parliament

= there have been many forms of government = in the deadeye area since the time of the precursors. in about the year 2000 BCE, the first influential form of government was created in the deadeye area. it sat in what now are the underwater ruins below the super-duper-scraper. it was a basic theocracy, the high priest would ask the gods their will and he would carry it out.

second era
past the first era of precursors, in about 1000 BCE, they founded a democratic system not unlike the Greeks at the time ( for they were influential allies and trading partners, see  precursors for more ), one major difference is that because of the smaller population, they did not elect representatives but rather vote on everything in person.

pirates
during the time of the pirates ( from about 1400 CE to 1650 CE ) it was run on a system of trust and anarchy, whomever had the biggest boat, got the most power.

modern era
and finally, we get to the modern era ( about 1650 CE to present ) starting in 1650 CE, the pirates were expelled by a group of settlers from a near town that had just been attacked ( see the modern founding for more info ) in the year 1700 CE, construction started on the parliament building that still stands to this day, construction was completed in 1721 CE. the building was inspired by the British architecture at the time. the governmental system deadeye uses is similar to their british counterpart mostly in name, the system goes like this.

system description
there are: 21 neighborhoods

there are: 5 districts

all 21 neighborhood representatives will meet once a month at parliament to discus city affairs and problems, the district representatives are present as well and are their to solve any issues among the groups that the assembly in whole cannot. in all city parliamentary meetings, the deadeye president ( currently William Whalen/ president William ) is to sit to the right of the center, the parliamentary leader r ( currently clementine fugu ) is to sit on the left hand side of the center line. the parliamentary leader is the only one equipped with a gavel. the sitting president may: vote, create bills, and otherwise do anything the neighborhood reps. can, but nothing more other than have full right to address at any time.

twice every year, all realms ( despite being in the league of realms or not ) are allowed 60 whole minutes to air their grievances, plus unlimited time to discuss possible solutions with other realms. in these meetings, the sitting deadeye president will again, sit on the right hand side, but on these special occasions, the representative of the moths ( mothman ) will sit on the left. in these cases both will be equipped with gavels. any realm representative who fails to adhere to the code of conduct will be expelled, with unyielding force if necessary. any damage to the parliamentary property will result in an extreamly violent and painful expulsion from the city. it will also result in a 100 year ban on the corresponding realm.
