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 Lithran
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

Unit of War
Head of Unit: Leo "Bladesaint" Eriksson

Unit of Science

Army
The nation has only a mediocre army, as it's main stance is defence. However, under a certain Protocall will the full army move onto an all-or-nothing attack. The army roughly contains just under 25 thousand troops. This is split up into the army, air force and navy. This includes a 1 thousand-strong emergancy unit that is deployed in severe cases. This unit has the best arms and armour available and is the nation's last line of defence. The orders given when on the move come from a MCC, should this be lost, the campaign will be a failiure.
