Federal Parliament is largely in control of the country, taking care of the day to day affairs but a higher body is charged with the over-all running of JRV. Consisting of supreme ministers and headed by a chancellor, the National Chancellery is elected and appointed by parliament. Current NC positions are... Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Defence, Minister of Interior, and Minister of Information among various others.

National Holidays
Joy day - December 1st
In honour of the former State of Joy, ungrateful and spoiled children eagerly receive presents from family and friends. Wine cellars across the land are raided; prisoners for petty crimes are released. Weirdoes in purple dinosaur suit parade through the streets singing and scaring youngsters.
Riches day - December 2nd
Riches day was created in honor of the former State of Riches. On this day each year the more wealthy JRV citizens are expected to ride in floats through the cities towns, showering the less fortunate with dollar bills and shiny coins. Police turn a blind eye to petty criminals and hundreds of businesses go bankrupt each year.
Victory day - December 3rd
The day after riches day is victory day, a day designed to celebrate the former State of Victory in 12 hours of non-stop and action packed military exercises. Each year a structure that no one likes is selected by vote and blown up on national TV -- in 2003 the Federal Parliament building selected by overwhelming popular demand (no politicians were harmed).
Clean up and Unity day - December 4th
Everyone unites, is given a shovel and made to clean up after the hectic 3 days of celebrations. Symbolizes unity between three former states.
