The Estates General

The Estates General is the legislative arm of the government. They advise the monarch, pass legislation and have the power to declare a coup. While mostly advisory they can wield significant power in the Kingdom.

In the Estates General each estate gets a vote.

Any Estate may do the following actions if all members of the Estate vote for it:

1. Call a civil war and establish their own revolutionary assembly. They may do this in order to put a new King in power or to force the current thing to undertake reforms. When an estate calls for a civil war the other estates vote on whether or not to join the revolutionaries or whether to join the King.

2. Block major decisions.

The estates general has a number of powers such as:

1. Approving major decisions made by the King
