 ====== Grand Princess of Ǣdyihòzh ======
-The **Grand Princesses** are the hereditary rulers of the maritime city-state of [[geopolitical:ǣdyihozh:|Ǣdyihòzh]]. Their ancestors gained the position through economic means, and in many ways their rule is maintained in the same fashion: their popularity arises from their role as guarantors of prosperity. Not only do they maintain social order, but also the conditions in which anyone, by hard work or cleverness or luck, can seize their desired prize.

 After all, [[ethnicity:abethine:ǣdyihozhis:|Ǣdyihòzhis]] would say, is that not the whole purpose of social order?

 ===== Benefits =====
-The lifeblood of Ǣdyihòzh is fees. Fees to use docks, fees for storage space, fees for licensing businesses and guilds - but above all, the tolls on ships, passing through the [[geopolitical:ǣdyihozh:giants_gate|Giant's Gate]], the narrow passage between the Inner and Outer [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:marine:Abethine Sea]]. While most of the fees go directly into the treasury, by ancient convention the Grand Princesses receive one eighteenth of the proceeds for their own use. Therefore, in the absence of extremely unwise spending, they are among the wealthiest individuals in the world.

 Also set aside for the use of the Grand Princess is the [[geopolitical:ǣdyihozh:Principal Palace]], a low but sprawling and luxurious edifice of marble that extends nearly a full quarter of the way around the top edge of the Great Sinkhole and which houses her, her family, her many servants, and most of the government apparatus that does not involve localized offices.
