I had every good intention to not read those lists, should they have come up again today, but my sudden paranoia and/or lack of memory on just what I've been searching the last several weeks got in the way. So, I will say to whoever was wondering how elves govern, the answer, in my own very personal experience, is "inefficiently" and "with a heavy dose of religious fanaticism nepotism" thanks to incredibly long lifespans.
I recognize that my culture is unique and I may just have a bias, but alas. Don't we all.
