Government and Politics

As with all of the gnollish city states, the City-state of Acoli is ruled by a King or Queen. In Acoli, the sovereign is chosen by the common folk and serves at their pleasure, and supported by a powerful circle of mages.

The ruling class of Acoli are the most elite citizens of Sdo Drark-gháp, with few exceptions. Their authority is precarious, its authority questioned by some, due to their current greatest asset, their extremely efficient bureaucracy. The largest issue currently facing Acoli is the existing political elites are demanding more power.

Millitary

The City-state of Acoli's millitary is sub par for Eyom, with so many drawbacks it could use major reforms. It favors a mixture of armored calvory and special forces, leaving its infantry as a rear guard. Acoli uses airships in the conventional fashion, as troop transport and commandposts, but has been known to attempt to develop air-based artillery platforms from time to time. Acoli's armed forces eschews magical solutions whenever possible.

The millitary favors a doctrine of defence diplomacy in its millitary operations, but is willing and able to use others should the need arise. Acoli's armed forces are mostly composed of members of a dedicated warrior caste, with volenteers padding out the ranks, which generaly view themselves as a caste of warriors above from civilians who are more of an orniment for their nation to wear than a sword or shield, by righting the world's wrongs.
