➤ Karma is a region run by different factions or guilds called "Circles".
➤ The region has a number of different Circles that have different values and focus on certain ideas and aspects.
➤ You can become encircled by contacting the Sage in charge of that Circle and passing their trial.
➤ The Executive branch of the region comprises the Radial Council.
➤ The Radial Council is a group of 3 members from different Circles who are elected through a vote of the Encircled to serve a 3-month term.
➤ The Legislative branch of the region comprises the Assembly and the Speaker.
➤ The Assembly is the collection of all Encircled members who vote upon and make legislation.
➤ The Speaker of the Assembly heads Karma's legislative branch. They're elected in tandem with the Radial Council through a vote of the Encircled to serve a 3-month term. They lead all legislative discussions, post and verify votes, and archive Karmic law.
➤ More information about Karma can be found in The Karma Hub.
