View source for Player council

There are four '''player councils''' on the [[Discworld]].  Each covers a specific area of the Discworld and comprises a set number of elected [[magistrate|magistrates]] who are appointed by [[citizen|citizens]] of the area covered by that council.  Each council acts as both a legislative body creating [[#Council Rules|rules]] which govern citizens and visitors within their jurisdiction as well as a [[courtroom|court]] system which allows magistrates to punish those who break the rules.

==Council Areas==
There are several different player councils, one for each of the following areas:
* [[Ankh-Morpork]] - has elected magistrates
* [[Djelibeybi]] - has elected magistrates
* [[Ephebe]]
* [[Sto-Lat]] - cannot join at this time
* [[The Agatean Empire]]

The Ankh-Morpork council currently has seven magistrates, there are five in Djelibeybi and none in Ephebe, Sto Lat or the Agatean Empire.

Possibly at some point the Ephebe, Sto Lat and/or Agatean Empire councils could elect magistrates of their own.

The Morporkian and Djelian councils were created in the year 2000, the Sto-Lat (unused) and Agatean councils in 2002 and the Ephebe accepted citizenship in 2019.

==Council Rules & Documents==
Each of these councils has a set of rules.  There are two types of rule; Immutable and general.  The immutable rules are written by the [[creator|creators]] and are used to govern the way the council operates.  If there is a clash between an immutable rule and a general rule then the immutable rule takes precedence.  The general rules are enacted by a vote of the magistrates and then ratified by a full vote of all citizens.

Magistrates may also publish Documents which can be viewed by the general populace.  These do not require a vote to create and can be used for creating policies and for publishing clarifications for rules, or for anything else deemed useful by magistrates.
