New Athens

The City of New Athens is an established city in the demigod world as a Greek sister-city of the Roman demigods' New Rome. Modelled after the ancient cities of Greece, New Athens is democratic and run by the elected privy council, free from the official decrees of the High Council that have charge over other demigod establishments across the country.

The city suffered reverses during the Nyx War when, during a quest that was fabricated by Eris, Aegeus Lytras and his squad of questers were defeated by Apate, one of Nyx's generals. As a result of Aegeus' absence, a majority of the city's population and army were wiped out and left defenceless in the aftermath.

Government
The government of New Athens is modelled largely after the ancient Athenian democratic system, wherein all citizens (because New Athens is in the modern age, all people, not just land-owning males, have the right to vote) have the right to cast a vote. The elected positions, known as the privy council, are what govern the city's every aspect.

Due to fears of tyranny, the city does not have a singular representative that serves as 'head' of the council. In recent times it has been proven to be an effective means of governance.
