In giving the City of Thebes such a cautious advantage these men and women enjoy no small power and prestige themselves, not only having an in to anticipating major developments in world economics and statecraft, but also wielding considerable power for themselves as leading lights in shaping the NationStates world. And this power is never wasted, for with so many magnitudinous names and such chances at glory floating in the court of the Theban king, there is more than a mere passing incentive to play and to maneuver against other foreigners like themselves, making coalitions with some of them and conspiring to bring others to ruin.

Index of Prominent Courtiers in Thebes
There is no official list dedicated to the foreigners with power and influence in the Theban government; for political purposes, however, the Royal Chancellery maintains a running list of prominent persons whose voices are carrying weight in the internal summits of the state. As an informal political tool, the list leaves many details to memory but keeps track of the nationality, provenance, and historical behavior of each courtier. Persons may or may not be forgotten with time depending on how much of a legacy they are capable of leaving when life calls them away from the City of Thebes.
