Government Structure

Overview

The government of the Republic rests upon its Senate and the various Ministries each charged with a specific set of responsibilities and powers. The Ministries are headed by Ministers who are bound to the guidance of the Doge and Senate through resolutions it passes if adopted by the Doge and the Prime Minister in his absence.

Government ranks are separate from Social, although they do converge at certain points. Rather than actual ranks, they are positions that are held by officers of the nation.

The Ranks of Government Service

Praefectus - Officers of the various Ministries are grouped as Praefectus. These are the ground level officers for each Ministry. Praefectus is just the generic term and is rarely used to describe an individual. Instead, the actual title of the position is used.

First Praefectus - Each Ministry may appoint a Senior Officer as the head of their officers and as a middle tier representative per location.

Senator - Senators are elected by the citizenry to represent them in the Signoria of the Republic.

Minister - Selected from within the Senators to oversee the various Ministries and public offices of the Silver Sun.

Executive Guidance

Several manuals have been published as part of the professional approach to leadership the Republic has chosen to take. Each of these directives are authored by the Prime Minister's office in cooperation with each of the Ministries affected. The purpose is to provide continuity for new Ministers as well as to make information available to our citizens on how their government is expected to operate. The Republic functions as an open society with the utmost transparency.
