It's all one flower.
1746. Exceptions to the system
"There's a congressman under the old direct control, right?"
Leno asked with all his heart.
The answer was a priest standing beside Kak Sidi.
"Master Shaura is in Cravel as a congressman."
It was a name I heard somewhere, but Leno couldn't remember.Razornik starts asking questions immediately.
"Are you from the Lacus Nenea family?"
"Yes, this is Sheraton's cousin."
"Master Shaura, are you alone?The former direct jurisdiction is huge, right? "
"Because the land is large, but the population is small, it is one constituency and one seat in the entire former territory."
Hmm?
"Just one?"
Not only Leno, but several surprises overlap.Only Jorch, the national broadcasting announcer, didn't change his face.
Pina raised her hand and asked.
Um, there are a lot of villages, but do they have councils one by one?
"We don't hold elections, but when deciding what's important in the village, we send one representative from each household to discuss in the shrine or school auditorium."
Oh, you're not going to run for mayor?
Amana rounds her eyes.
"Former direct jurisdiction is an exception to the local council system.There is no village council or mayor equivalent to any other city council.In the village where the Lacus Nenea family lives, they will assist in the management of the village for generations, and in the small village where you do not live, the eldest will organize discussions, etc. "
The priest even answered the question ahead of time.
Unknown stories popped up from one to the next, and Leno gradually stopped following.Amana thinks a little and asks questions.
"Why?"
"Because there was a lot of resistance from the people who wanted to rule over the Lacus Neña family.During half a century of civil unrest, there was a struggle between those who wanted a complete restoration of divinity, those who sought compromise in the same way as today, and those who wanted full democratization as elsewhere. "
... it wasn't peaceful here either.
At the knees of the Lacus Nenea family, Leno thought that this land, where only the people of the lake lived, was united in a spirit of retro theocracy and fought democrats from other regions, but the reality is different.
There is no overlap between the past and the present peaceful villages fought among the people under the former direct control.
So, is it only possible to elect a congressman?
Amana checked and the priest and Kaku Sidi shook their necks at the same time.
Razornik listens with a bright voice.
"Hmm? Do you do other things after all?"
"No, we haven't voted in the 30 years since the civil unrest."
"Aren't other people running?"
"Why?"
When Amana and Tis heard at the same time, our adopted child Kaku Sidi answered with a dark face.
"For example, if we go to national politics, we will have to follow the Lacus Neña family, no matter what opinions the Lake people elected from other regions have had to come to Congress."
Leno and the children tilted their necks, and old fisherman Aviace explained.
"If you want to give opinions against your will, you don't know what to do later with extreme right-wing thinkers."
Ahh!
"Even if the Lord doesn't intend to do that, the members of the people of the lake will shrink and be unable to say anything other than the same as the Lord."
Kaku Sidi nods with a bitter face.
"That's right. The Nemus Liberation Army includes General Unuk Elhaia and other prominent members of the Lacus Nenea family, so they continue to operate with dignity, and the Interim Government and Government forces include Boris and General Al-Jadi, which makes them in direct conflict."
After explaining, our main adopter eats his teeth and grips his fist on the round table.
Padorik nodded with his golden eyebrows.
"It was democratized nearly 200 years ago, but it's hard to run outside of the Lacus Neneans in the old territories."
"Yes. Democratization has abolished the status of nobility, but it has produced many bureaucrats and military personnel and holds key judicial, administrative and military positions.Besides, if you enter the legislature, you don't know what democratization is for. "
"But before the civil unrest, you voted in the old territories, right?"
Razornik confirmed that Kaku Sidi was breathing with a painful look.
The priest watches carefreely, but says nothing.
"At the same time, a candidate from the Lacus Nenea family ran.Even if there are multiple candidates with different opinions, there is only one person who can go to Congress from here. "
The village where the candidate leaves will not defy the Lacus Nenea family, and other opinions will be blocked.The other villages struggled over which candidates they would be.Once the policy has been put together, it will now confront villages with different opinions, and logistics and exchanges between villagers will stagnate.There were no deaths among ordinary villagers, but many of the candidates and their families were assassinated.
In large cities, such as Craver and the capital of the time, Lacrimalis, the people of the lake and the people of the land, the Franciscans and the Kilcrusts, the goddesses and the main gods, the democrats and the priests bled to death.
Democrats and theologians compete in the former Nemorales.
Those who proposed a compromise to arbitrate were swallowed by the vortex of battle.
"Whether Sheraton or we, the priests who serve the Temple of Lactea in the former Sovereign Territory, Lacus Nenea believes that we should move away from secular politics (festivals) and concentrate on prayer in the Temple."
When Kak Sidi finished speaking, the priest looked around the mobile station and said.
... maybe we should pull back if this is going to be a fight.
But I don't think democracy worked after half a century of civil unrest.
There are people who are not involved in politics because they don't know what it is, people who can't participate because they can't read or write, and people who are indifferent because they can't find a connection to importance or everyday life.
Leno himself would not have been interested in politics if it hadn't been for this.
"Thank you for sharing your valuable story with us today."
Kaku Sidi said with a complicated face, and it opened.
