Texas Government

The government of Texas is a democracy. The Texas Constitution is the basis for all government and law in the region, and it can be changed by a vote on the offsite forum during any of the quarterly elections. The Texas government is organized in a manner similar to the real life United States, with a President, Vice-President, a Cabinet, an Election Commission, and a Representative Council.

President of Texas

The President of Texas is the chief executive officer in the region. The President is the Founder of the region and is responsible for overseeing everything in Texas, which he does admirably. The President has always been Big Tex of NewTexas, and he has always been a tireless protector, promoter, recruiter, and improver for the region.

Vice-President of Texas

The Vice-President of Texas, like all Cabinet members, acts as an advisor to the President. He also is next in line for the Presidency should anything untoward happen to the President, and can represent the region in a diplomatic capacity similar to that of the President. The current Vice-President is Greenspoint.

Texas Representative Council

As specified in the Constitution, Texas elects a Regional Council. The Council shall include the Cabinet Members of Texas and enough freely elected citizens of Texas to bring the count of the body up to 10% of the population of Texas at the time of the nominations process. As with all offices, the members of the council are elected during the quarterly elections.

The TRC has traditionally not had all that much to do. The Constituion indicates that they are supposed to deal with such serious problems as breaches of the Constitution and internal disputes, and Texas has been fortunate not to have much of those sorts of problems. A recent Amendment to the Constitution requires that the TRC have a say in alliance requests, which may help to increase activity on the part of the Council.
