Every [[city-state]] in [[Achaea]] is presided over by a '''ruling council'''. A ruling council consists of five to seven [[adventurers]], with one serving as the [[city leader]] at large. Unlike the [[:category:ministries|ministries]], which manage day-to-day affairs of a functioning city, the ruling council has general authority, oversight, and responsibility in fulfilling the vision of the city. They are usually appointed via general election, although in theocratic systems they are nearly alwyas appointed by the [[Divine Patron]].

While the perceived responsibilities of a ruling council may vary in the eyes of each citizen, it can safely be said that the ruling council must take credit, or blame, for what happens to their city.
