Government

The Government is created and changed with the Heads of each Unit being voted in and out of office every two years. The Sub-unit Commanders are voted in and out of office every three years. However, the Head of Unit has to answer to the Overlord. It is this that follows in Birthright.

Overlord

Overlord of Drak-Lithran: Paladin Litharan

The Overlord is only gained by Birthright, or a pass-over of power before death. The Overlord is the highest position in the Government and with it carries much power, yet so many tasks to do. Apart from helping the Law-making process and the courts, the Overlord has to ensure fair elections for Heads of Unit and Sub-Unit Commanders. This could be named as the Exectutive.

NB: Despite the title being "Overlord" a female can take this position.

Heads of Unit

The Head of Unit for each Unit, followed by a description is as follows:

Unit of War

Head of Unit: Leo "Bladesaint" Eriksson

The Unit of War is more than just attacking and killing. Defence also plays a major part, with counter-mesures from attack in place. Emergancy policing is also aided by this Unit, coupled with the Unit of Order. The training of the Army, The Navy and The Air Force is extremly important, as they need to be scrambled in order to reach areas quickly.

Unit of Order

Unit of Economy

Head of Unit: Juliet Bellafontaine

This Unit is solely about money. What comes in, what goes out, where it is and who's using it. The Claw is this Unit's lifeblood. They look after all Commerce, Exports, Imports and other Trading. Budgets are set through this unit.

Unit of Culture

Head of Unit: Ayana Mneme Lihan

Arts, Education, The faith of the nation all rests on this Unit. They help to keep the populaton happy and educated.

Unit of Science

Head of Unit: Beowulf Akari

The resarch of the nation hinges on this Unit's ability to discover about the world around them. Fact or Fiction? Myth and Magic or Fact and Science? This unit will decide.
