There were two broad divisions of the political structure of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. One division consisted of the central aristocrats headed by two marquises, and the local powerhouse was headed by the earls of various places. The other division consisted of merchants represented by trade circles along coastal and bordering areas, as well as the aristocrats represented by the mainland.
The former division did not hold much significance. The contradictions between the central and local parties could be found everywhere in all countries—oh, except for the Republic of Northwest. In fact, such things were commonplace. For thousands of years, or for even longer, various races in all countries faced the same problem, but no one had ever seemed to come up with a solution, and rarely would the contradictions foment massive conflicts.
