<h2>The Centuriate Assembly</h2>
<p>The Centuriate Assembly functioned as a democratic forum for those who had served, or were currently serving, in military or civil capacities. It convened biannually in the capital to vote on legislation proposed by the Senate and to elect Magistrates from candidate lists also provided by the Senate. The laws it enacted formed the bedrock of Concalian legal code, only amendable by another Assembly vote.</p>
<p>Voting within the Assembly was stratified by military rank and public service role, with each rank or role being allocated a set number of votes. Participants belonging to the same rank or role would be divided into a number of groups equal to the number of votes their rank or role held, where each group had to come to an agreement on how their vote would be cast. This structure inherently favored higher ranks and those able to influence through persuasion or wealth, particularly as the sum of votes held by officers and equivalent civil positions outnumbered those held by lower ranks. Magistrates and Senators were barred from voting in the Assembly, preserving a degree of separation between legislative and executive powers.</p>

Magistrates and Senators were barred from voting in the Assembly, preserving a degree of separation between legislative and executive powers. The duration of each Assembly session varied, lasting from a few days to several weeks, depending on the volume of matters to address and the time needed for groups to reach agreement on their votes.</p>
<h2>The Magistrates</h2>
<p>The Magistrates were the elected government officials of Concalia, charged with running and governing various portions of the Concalian Empire. They had authority to determine taxes, make laws, and enact policies within their domains, but were bound by the overarching laws enacted by the Centuriate Assembly. Magistrates served 2-year terms, with roughly a quarter of the positions up for election at each session of the Centuriate Assembly.</p>
<p>The highest positions within this structure were held by the Empire's two Consuls, who governed not only the capital but also wielded supreme authority over the entire Empire. The Consuls had equal power and could each veto any decree made by the other, ensuring a balance of power at the highest level of governance. Their duties extended to implementing empire-wide policies and laws, reinforcing their roles as the paramount leaders of Concalia. The Consuls were additionally responsible for appointing new members to the Senate.</p>
