The type of government is a limited monarchy. This means that there is a king that rules, but his powers are limited because there are laws saying what he can and can't do. If he wants to do something it has to be reasonable and make sense. If any one had a problem with this they were allowed to talk with the king about it. If not everyone agreed then they also held a vote to see which option won. They would have two huge rooms if you wanted to have the option you would go into one room and if you didn’t want it you would go in the other. Then some of the king’s workers would count how many people where in each room and the room with the most people won the vote. If most all the people seemed to agree then he would go along with his plan. So if you didn’t want what the king was going to do then you better go and complain.
If the king died then normally his son would become king. If there was no one to go to the people picked another king. If the people did not like their king them they could get him removed by the same voting process that was described above. If he was removed then they would find somebody else to rule. The people liked having their say on things so they seemed to like the government.
Laws were fairly simple because if you did something bad there was a consequence. A few examples were:
Do not steal, if you steal them you have to give back what you stole and you go to a place that is like modern day jail for half a year. Also in that half a year you had to help in the fields and if there were animals that needed butchered you had to do that, without any pay.
Do not murder, harm or hurt anyone, if you did then you had to go to jail for the rest of your life and you had to be a butcher because they didn’t want them to get near other people.
If there were other crimes then they punished them according to how bad the crime was. There sentence was also based on what the crime was, the worse it was the longer they were in jail and the longer they had to work. If they were extremely bad then they were put to death. This though wasn’t used very much because they would rather have the people work for their crimes so things that they normally had to pay people to do, got done for no pay.
