==Politics==
The Azish pride themselves on their method of electing new Primes, as it avoids succession wars. They believe that they are never without a Prime. When a Prime dies, the election of a new Prime is considered as a search for the person who is, and always has been, Prime. Any person, except for scions, can apply to be Prime Aqasix. The process requires many forms and essays, which are reviewed by viziers. The new Prime is often chosen from the viziers as they typically have the most convincing applications.{{book ref|sa2|I|9}} The Prime Aqasix wears a traditional hat with sweeping sides called the [[Yuanazixin|Imperial Yuanazixin]].{{book ref|sa3|116}}
The Prime is considered to belong to the public. Citizens can enter a lottery to watch the Prime sleep, eat, and perform other daily tasks. They can also collect and keep relics from the Prime, such as a nail clipping
When the Prime issues a mandate to the public, citizens have one month to make their grievances known before being forced to comply. These grievances are often displayed as logical arguments and protests.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
