    Which historical city state required all personal letters of its leader to be opened to mitigate conflict of interest?

    		I think it was the Republic of Venice.

    According to Wikipedia,
    "While doges had great temporal power at first, after 1268, the doge was constantly under strict surveillance: he had to wait for other officials to be present before opening dispatches from foreign powers".
