The Basin is governed by a council of representatives of Noble houses and trade guilds known as the Senate. The heads of Noble households represent their houses, while guild representatives are democratically elected from within the guild. The Senate is similar to, and presumably based on the Assembly formed by Elend Venture to govern Luthadel immediately after the Skaa rebellion.
Early on, Elendel was stable and the outer cities were rural and peaceful. Later on, the workers of Elendel because extremely unhappy at their government. There was eventually a police takeover when [[Mayor Innate]] declared the city under martial law, and therefore the police were legally in charge, and had the authority to replace Innate. Many of the other cities however, are still very angry at Elendel, and claim that the government there is corrupt. All the rivers go through Elendel, and all the railways go towards it. This enables Elendel to levy taxes on all the other city's goods.
