Synopsis:
The Government of Algorath is lead by 3 main heads, which are elected democratically. However, only specific races can be eligible for election, due to the history of the Country. This is done more so for the sake of tradition, rather than outright racism. The eligible races are: Human, Dwarven, Elf, Tiefling, and Aasimar. Any other race cannot attempt an Electoral campaign to be one of the 3.
The 3 are broken down into different groups which look over various parts of Algorath's Structure:
Head of Public Affairs
Head of Military
Head of Commerce
While each Head may be a leading figure for different purposes, each member still has several authorities and abilities that the title grants them. Some of these include:
Overturning potential law that a Council might propose which are viewed as unjust, or against Algorath's basic beliefs.
Temporarily servicing under another Head's duties in the absence of another Head until the Secondary Head is able to take over the position.
Place a vote in which each Council, as well as each Head may elect to hold in order to absolve a member of the 3 from their position.
Be present at any hearing or trial as an onlooker.
A home in every Town or City in the Country.
Promote a soldier or citizen to a Headhunter, or Honor Guard.
Call into question the action of another Head.
