Addendum

By the way, I'm in favor of technical stagnation so I don't gotta upgrade so much. Back in the day, you needed a new computer every time Origin released a new game.

Origin Story

You have to win election at least ten times to become a decagogue, of course. Unfortunately, you're usually old by then, which restrains your power. Semagogues require elevation to a naval position, which is pretty specific, but the abilities are generally useful. Nothing's free in a well crafted system, after all.
