possible political composition...

of the Royal Council of Acorn, prior to Ixis Naugus (archieverse)

Crown Loyalists
- Rotor Walrus
- Sir Charles Hedgehog

Centrists
- Dylan
- Penelope

Republicans (Abolitionists)
- Hamlin
- Rosemary Prower

Council Chairman and King of the Royal Republic of Acorn
- Elias Acorn


It makes sense to me for there to have three parties in order to balance out the council. Rotor and Charles are Crown Loyalists because in their appearances, Rotor and Charles have always sided with the Freedom Fighters. This is significant because Princess Sally, as a scion of the House of Acorn, is royalty herself. besides this being a possible cause of prior friendship (and therefore, political expediency), Charles has a knighthood from the prior Kingdom of Acorn. He owes his loyalty and livelihood to the Kingdom (he created the roboticizer, and I don't see how he could have done it without royal funding), and in his old age, I don't imagine if he'd be willing to see change just because it might be inferred that Elias is a weak ruler.


Hamlin and Rosemary are my Republicans (or, as I like to call them, the Abolitionists). Rosemary Prower and her family were the original organizers of the anti-monarchial uprising that caused the transition from an Absolute Monarchy into a Constitutional Republic (albeit ultimately headed by the previous monarchial House). With Rosemary on the Council, she has an opportunity to steer things in a direction that benefits the percieved "Will of the People in Opposition to the Royal Establishment." Hamlin is grouped in with this faction because of his political stance, which is in opposition to the Freedom Fighters' relative autonomy. His opposition to Princess Sally's leadership is in effect opposition to the King, which would serve a Republican agenda.


Dylan and Penelope are my Centrists. They are after the status quo, or the middle ground, and they could be persuaded to support the cause of either the Crown Loyalists or the Republicans. Dylan seems easily pressured to vote one way or another, for instance, and Penelope could be persuaded to vote for either side.
