The government considered itself to be enlightened compared to the militarism of previous regimes, and was influenced by Miyarrain philosophy and new ideas such as the Hexact Doctrine. The Commonwealth introduced the system of deciles, a rudimentary democratic system, as a counterweight to the perceived power of the aristocracy.

Under the Commonwealth, the arts flourished under the monarchs and the patronage of the aristocracy. Great works of painting, poetry, music and theatre were produced in this period.

Politically the Commonwealth was relatively stable, with mature monarchs presiding over a pluralist government. However, power became increasingly concentrated in the hands of the aristocratic elite, with the growing merchant classes chafed at having little say in how laws were made. The system was eventually overthrown in the Vainglorious Revolution of 571 MEplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigModern Epoch (ME)
