Government

The Wychwood Proprietary Zone is governed by a 3 member management board appointed by the President and CEO of Amelin Resources (currently Alicia Watt-Byrne), with the advise of the company's directors. The 'Triumvirate', as it is known, must make decisions unanimously and has exclusive rights to conduct 'commerce' in their proprietary zone by the UN General Treaty on Extrasolar Commercial Development of 2088. The broadness of the terms of the treaty allow for corporations to essentially govern their territory with no superseding authority.
The current 'Triumvirate' consists of

Elias Chen - lawyer and CPA

Stella Merritt - mining engineer

Brandon Robinson - corporate services
