Dragon Council
I, of course, created the dragon system of government, I did not do it on the ideals of democracy. I took more of a feudal view of the continents and each council is in charge of the territory dragons and each territory dragon is in charge of their clan. That does leave all the dragons in the unclaimed territories as falling under the jurisdiction of the council, but honestly, they are territory dragons themselves with clans and families and they do not want to spend all their time looking after the misfits who for one reason or another do not have the good sense to join a clan. For that reason, those dragons stuck in the unclaimed territories are often on their own. Look for information on those dragons in future books.
