If there are no kings or nobility then that makes everyone smallfolk, and just because they do not exist in yours does not make things less so in my own world. ( Aegon can't help but look truly puzzled, the term isn't as derogatory as it sounds, but he just doesn't understand how it comes across. That and even he can pick up on the annoyance, having lived such times with his mother and family. )

I am intrigued that so many can come together to agree upon the laws they live by. No-one fights over those things?
