"(Which, uh. Come to think of it, does Minbar have a government anymore? I mean, I get why she did it, and cheered, but how are they running their planet now? Maybe the Grey Council is like a semi-ceremonial thing--since all they seem to do is stand around in those spotlights--and the real governing gets done at the lower levels. I know they come to the brink, or possibly tip over the brink, of civil war in S4, but with everything that went on in these two seasons, my memories of specifics are pretty hazy.)"
The novels and comics suggest that the day to day business of Minbar is handled by a council of clan elders, but they rely on the Grey Council to manage the bigger picture. A society as conformist as the Minbari, it's no wonder they fall apart when their leadership is shattered.
