The government of Harjess touts itself as a meritocracy. Every 4 years each recognized field of study chooses its most prominent member to join the the Council of Masters. This council in turn chooses a Chief Innovator. The council's power is broad and far-reaching, though the Chief Innovator has a final say in all matters. Harjess recognizes hundreds of fields of study, meaning there are many members of the Council of Masters, and votes are often messy affairs.
