Germania maintains an archaic system of government as is common with the more remote regions of Silver. In Germania, new leaders are chosen by the previous one and they are more akin to priestesses than political figures. They worship a goddess of agriculture as most of the town's livelihood surrounds this, so village leaders are usually women who possess a great deal of talent and knowledge for it. Most of these leaders remain in their position for life, and it's more common for the successor to be a member of the previous leader's own family. In Saena's case, she inherited the title from her grandmother. They maintain an amicable relationship with the oligarchs, in a sort of 'you do you and we'll do us' type of deal.

Saena is friendly and outgoing, and it was of no surprise to anyone when she was picked to take the village over 5 years ago. She had always had a close relationship with her grandmother and took the duties of worship seriously, so it was a natural choice. Germania is a generally peaceful and quiet place, so the majority of people like her and enjoy having her around. She's especially popular among the older population who is happy to see that she is traditional and resistant to modernizing. Younger individuals sometimes point to her as being too conservative and say that she holds the village back, but there's no real strife over these debates.

She's a dreamer and highly focused on peace, hoping that one day tensions will ease up between Silver and Insomnia. Silver continues to place pressure on her to increase their efforts on spying on Insomnia, but she's managed to skirt around it so far. Generally she is a pacifist, but not to the degree that she would idly allow Germania to come to harm. There's a militia under her rule, but they are more commonly used for dealing with bandits and out of control demibeasts.
