Exitus

In keeping with the Latin name of the game, when a regent's rule comes to an end, the state is considered to have 'gone exitus'.

The most common causes for the termination of control over a state are:

Deselection - the ruler failed to secure enough votes to win the country's election.

Assassination - an extremist has killed the regent!

Coup d'état - the government has been overthrown.

Descent - the regent has been exiled due to unpopular state management.

Successful regents will also eventually die of old age.

Control of world states may also be relinquished if the state is conquered in war.
