DESCRIPTION

STRUCTURE

GOVERNMENT
Port Sumac is ruled by a council of ship captains. The captain with the most profitable trade in the last year heads the council. The council has no fixed size. New members may be inducted by a majority vote of the council. Councilmice determine the laws of the port, set the taxes and perform other administrative duties. For their trouble, each councilman earns a shae of all goods collected from imports and exports.
