Competing city states

The god of each city is a public servant who get elected

They require the belief and support of their citizens for their power so if they aren’t doing a good job they lose support and belief and that drains their power until eventually they just become a regular mortal again

At which point people can start campaigning to become the new god

The god’s job is to bless their champions with divine power, to fuck with other cities, and to stop other gods from fucking with their city

They’re expected to be larger than life figures who have torrid affairs and seek vengeance against those who have slighted them
