Martu

A Martu (pl. Marte) is a politican office within the Tyon-Arat. A Martu is an elector within the Ardanian government and the governments of the individual cities. The Marte make up the bulk of the Ardanic governments in fact. Each city has varying number of marte, who hold assembly within the Marte Arapa, the House of the Electors.

The Marte are elected by the general citizenry. To be elected one does not need to win against a rival within the elected, but one needs a minimum number of voters to show their favour. Every citizen of a certain standing and prestige can apply to be put up for election. Convicted criminals are excluded from political offices. People who have acheived a higher rang within the orders of state officials cannot be denied their chance to be elected.
