The Court at the Palazzo Ducale
The Court represents the highest cultural gathering of the important individuals in the Republic of Venice. Wealthy merchant families go to court to see and be seen as a measure of one's social status in the city. The court in Venice is one of the wealthiest and grandest in the Mediterranean and serves as a important centre of diplomacy in Italy. The court also serves as a place where agents for the Doge in other countries can report on findings and other intelligence.

Consiglio dei Dieci
The Council of Ten is the chief decision-making apparatus of the Republic of Venice's governing structure. It's membership consists of ten individuals elected by the Great Council for one-year terms from its own membership, which consists of the highest aristocratic merchant families of the Republic. The Council of Ten acts in secrecy and its tendency towards authoritarian action has led to several failed attempts by the Great Council to curb its powers.
