Using Boardroom and Curia

GURPS Boardoom and Curia was an interesting book, but I wasn't sure I wanted to use it, so I decded to write up an organization that was important in a campaign that just ended to see what I thought.  After doing that, I think that I like the format, and it gives some useful information up-front about an organization.

I used the Medici writeup in Pyramid #86 as a basis and for general inspiration.  Thorinia is my gameworld's take on medieval Italy, minus the Holy Roman Empire.
