	The [[Council of Commoners]] is a partially elected group of an ~~unspecific~~ amount of ministers, usually in the hundreds, who provide an advisory role to the High Council and the Prince-Sovereign by representing the interests of the common folk, the guilds, and the petite bourgeoisie. Additionally, the Commoners are also responsible for providing a judicial role in the country should citizens require and have the means to pay for a trial. Seats in the council are allocated to certain organisations in the city who nominate councillors of their own choosing in whatever way they like. The First Commoner is elected by majority from the Council of Commoners to attend High Council meetings. The Second Commoner and Third Commoner are his deputies should he be unable to attend. Other roles in the Council of Commoners are also nominated positions. Commoner Councillors tend not to get a salary. The Guildhall commands the most seats, with the army, navy, and taverns having significant amounts.

	The economic activity of the realm is highly focussed in its densely populated capital and only city: [[Serrentino]]. The city boasts a wide variety of industry including woodworking, smithing, breweries, and wineries. A large number of taverns provide a thrilling nightlife whilst many the many markets ensure no one in the city starves or lacks a job. The city is strategically located on an important trade route through the [[Strait of Levcovouno]]. Trade ships flowing from [[Nosamo]] and [[Azurien]] to the cities of [[Archadia]], [[Garantinople]], and [[Montdrian]] traditionally stop in Serrentino for repairs and supplies.

			Around the capital, the closest villages of [[Vercetti]] to the north and [[Bonaventuro]] to the south are the centres of the country's fishing industry, with produce being consumed locally or going to the capital to be exported. Further inland, the principal employment is in agriculture, with [[Lilodena]] and [[Aestissa]], as well as numerous unnamed hamlets and country manors, forming key hubs to the nations grain, carrot, and potato harvests. Additionally, the town of [[Andariella]] on the northern border is the hub of the wine and grape harvest. The soil, though not particularly fertile, it efficiently utilised such that Montebianco is self sufficient in food. Further inland still, there are small lumber and mining operations in the villages of [[Argarita]] and [[Valeria]].
