Mercenary at heart - стр. 3

All towns and villages have a democratic form of government. That is, every five years, a town mayor or headman (depending on the status of the settlement) is elected by an absolute majority of votes of townspeople and villagers taking part in voting. In cities, in addition to the mayor, whose powers include approving general city policy and signing ordinances, there is a city council. It is formed by the city manager from representatives of various sectors of the economy. When the mayor changes, the council changes accordingly, because every city manager wants to have a team he can trust 100%. Of course, this system is not without flaws, because the leaders have their families, friends and acquaintances, whose interests are actively lobbied by the authorities. But society has accepted such a system. Of course, there are masses dissatisfied with it, including among influential businessmen, but it has never come to general uprisings and rallies. More often than not, protests have been accompanied by peaceful demonstrations.

Since the establishment of the generally accepted treaty, the monetary unit in all towns and villages has been one – the Eurodollar. No alternative currencies exist anywhere. They existed before. But society realized that this was extremely inconvenient, as there were over 53,000 currencies.

There were earlier attempts to unify localities. First into several separate states, then into one. But these ideas did not justify themselves. They only fueled the ground for world and civil wars. In each city, in each village there were the most wealthy people, compared to the rest of the local population, who did not want to lose their power and property, money and wealth. So it was decided: let everything remain as it is. No states or unions. Only separate localities, each with its own orders and power. Depending on the territory – their own minerals and deposits.

At the signing of the universal treaty, a detailed map with territorial division was drawn up, where it was clearly indicated: who owns what territory, and where there are zones of common use. So-called "neutral zones". They are most often used for illegal transactions outside of settlements and gang warfare.

Again the system was invented, not without flaws, which the overwhelming number of the population accepted. Most of all, the town leaders and headmen wanted to put an end to wars and violence and concentrate on the mundane life of fixing and developing the economy of their towns and villages. On top of that, wars caused nothing but trouble.
