Map of the Fortnight 285: Demokratia

[CourageousLife]

Demokratia

The Challenge
Create a map showing the first time democracy is implemented in the country.​

Inspired by Writing Prompt #326 from the ServiceScape Writing Prompt Generator:
All of the countries in the modern world are ruled by monarchies and democracy is still a theory that has never been implemented.
You are a King who has plans to convert your country's system of government to a democracy after your death.
Other members of the royal family – and other monarchs – are threatened by your decision.​

The Restrictions
There are no restrictions on when your PoD or map may be set. Fantasy, sci-fi, and future maps are allowed, but blatantly implausible (ASB) maps are not.

If you're not sure whether your idea meets the criteria of this challenge, please feel free to PM me or comment in the main thread.

What we now know as "Demokratia" was originally known as Demoxratl or "Rule of the Many". This radical form of government would spread via radical people's uprisings known as the Pulmerian Flower Revolutions. One of the most notable revolutionaries was Ixchel the Jaguar Throne Defiler, of whom there would be erected a multitude of statues and steles in his honour.
Unfortunately Demoxratl would not last in the Yucatan penninsula and the New World, by the time of the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese all but a single state would keep the traditional form of government: Palenke. Though from this ember would grow a blaze that would ignite the world...
