Duchies and counties lie within a Regency. ^{[last-winter#5]} The campaign's own order of rule therefore runs Empire, Regency, Duchy, County. ^{[owner-form-2026-09-17]} The Empire above them has no emperor: it appears to be governed by a senate, though in practice certain organizations rule it. ^{[last-winter#5]}
