From the Encyclopedia of the Realms:

"Amn is ruled by a Council of Six. The Six are merchant kings who are masters of intrigue and manipulation, and have more wealth than they can ever spend. This cabal of like-minded men have held control of Amn for over twenty winters [as of 1357 DR]. During this rule, two members of the Council have died, and replacements have been selected by the surviving Council members.

"Amn's rulers are shrewd, but more than one of the Council is fat, lazy and arrogant. Upon ascending to the Council, a merchant-king is known only by his or her title. Speaking, printing, or otherwise using the original name of a merchant-king in Amn is punishable by slow torture and death."
