It sounds very different from mine. What's it like, living there? Does the magic affect how it's ruled?

They are. They've been in power, gathering power, for a long time. As big as the factions are, though, most people don't go into faction service, and their power lies in ordinary citizens' fear of standing together against them. When a government spends more of itself discouraging that solidarity than protecting those in its charge, its biggest enemy is the possibility that they could organize effectively enough to change it.
