Avamar (Realm)/Reform

The Reformed Government of Avamar

The Governance Structure of the People's Republic of Avamar was decided just after the Revolution which gave us freedom from Sirion. Minor changes have been added to make the whole government more efficient.

Prime Minister
The only responsible person for our external affairs. Additionally, he overviews the functions of the whole realm offering policy recommendations. None is allowed to contact rulers of other realms without asking the permission of the Prime Minister. Exception: when the conditions are extremely critical and pace is vital (e.g wounded or inactive ruler). He/She generally overviews the functions of the government, and ensures that everything is running smoothly. This person has an understanding in all aspect of BM from realm histories to military tactica and informs the people for such issues. Additionally the Prime Minister must inform the public upon request in all diplomatic affairs and negotiations that directly concerns them.

Minister of Defense(General)
Competent to all military affairs. He is giving general instructions to the BG Leaders whose are responsible to carry out and implement his decisions. He must motivate BG Leaders to undertake incentives, but under his supervision. For decisions of major importance (attacks, wars, looting etc)he/she must consult the council and/or the people first. The General is also responsible for all police work, raids, patrols etc done. The Minister of Defense generally plans the whole strategy of the military forces and is not necesserily engaged with purely tactical issues. This person also has great understanding of all aspects of war from troop movements to troop settings.

Grand Justiciar(Judge)
He/She overlooks the proper function of the chain of command. Responsible for small punishments (fines). For banning or large fines he must consider first the council and the public opinion (with the exemption of civil unrest where swift action is needed). He/She held courts in regions that needs such services, informing the council. He/She also enforces our constitution and laws. The Judge also knows the constitution and the laws of the realm; He is also responsible in emending acts/laws and creating new ones.

Minister of Finance(Banker)
Competent authority for all economic functions of the realm. He/She set up taxes and controls the trade and the food support. However for any changes in tax rates or major changes in the food supply chain he/she must consult first the council. The good stats and productivity of the regions should be under his supervision, so any Civil and Bureaucratic work falls into his/hers area of competencies. He/she is generally in charge of tax rates and making sure we don’t starve.

Duke and counts
Responsible for the good performance of their regions and the maintenance of infrastructure. In case that an investment is needed they bring up the issue to the council, asking assistance from the competent authority (help from police units through the Minister of Defense or the BG Leader to increase loyalty or control, lowering of taxes, bureaucratic work or funds from the Minister of Finance, courts to increase moral from the judge). They also strive to create realm unity, from encouraging socializing day to getting people involved in poetry contests. They have great understand of the Avamarian way of life and maintain our cultural heritage.

Marshal
He/She closely co-operates with the Minister of Defence, leads the army into battle and many times undertakes special tasks (defending a region, leading a campaign). The Marshal issues the standing orders and keeps them updated. He/she is fully responsible for all minor details of the military units (advices to TLs on army settings, enforcing the General's orders etc).

Legion Commanders(Battlegroup Leaders)
They are following the instructions and general guidelines issued by the Minister of Defense and the Marshal, having the greatest possible degree of independency. In some cases they lead fully autonomous battle groups into battle. In case of both Minister’s and Marshal's unavailability they are fully responsible for their Battlegroups. They also report to the General and Marshal their Legion's combat statistics (combat strength, movement etc).

The People - Troop Leaders
They have to follow suggestions, instructions, and orders issued by the appropriate authorities. It is vital for them to express their opinions even when they are conflicting with the issued orders, but not deny following/implementing them. They can participate directly (on a group) or indirectly (through elected representatives) in all decisions concerning the People’s Republic of Avamar.
