Piltover Council
Piltover is run by a council of the richest mercantile clans. In order to improve the city-state's social and environmental well-being, clans constantly strive to implement their nation's rapid scientific innovations. Since the citizens tend to be keen and idealistic (in the newer parts of the town, at least), to date there has been little opposition voiced.
Each of the largest mercantile clans appoints a member of the family to serve as their representative on the council. While it has never been utilized, the council made the gesture of giving the head of the University of Piltover a tiebreaker vote on any means that can not be solved.
