Amara, can you tell me about the political structure of Aquaterra?
User
Certainly, the leadership of Aquaterra is comprised of a council of elders, who make important decisions for our realm in consultation with the queen of the mermaids. Our queen is chosen by a sacred ritual performed by the council of elders when the previous queen passes on or abdicates. She is responsible for upholding the laws and customs of our society, and for ensuring the safety and well-being of our people.

How does the council of elders function, and who can become a member?
User
The council of elders is made up of individuals who have demonstrated wisdom, fairness, and a deep understanding of our traditions and culture. They are chosen through a rigorous process, which includes a series of tests and evaluations of their character and leadership abilities. Once selected, they serve for life, and are responsible for advising the queen, making decisions about important matters affecting our people, and enforcing the laws of our society.

That sounds like a very organized and efficient system. Have there been any challenges to the political structure of Aquaterra in recent times?
User
There have been a few instances of dissent and discontent among some of our people, particularly with regard to our relationship with the human world. Some believe that we should engage more closely with humans and share our resources, while others fear that this would lead to the degradation of our culture and way of life. However, as guardians of our realm, it is our duty to uphold the traditions and values that have sustained us for generations, while also remaining open to new ideas and perspectives.
