‘Leader of Leton’

For a fair length of time, the nation of Leton was managed under a single elected official who commanded several groups below. They were referred to as simply “leader of Leton” and could be either elected by the previous leader, or challenge the current one for the approval of people. They would traditionally reside in an ascetic establishment within the capitol city among citizens that could be considered middle class, though were guarded for and were morally obliged not to explicitly favor certain cities over another. However, as things expanded into a far greater population, they instead had to step down as it was too much for one person. Instead adopting to the current system wherein there are several highest ranking officials each commanding a single aspect to the nation and relying upon one another for support as ‘Overseer of [aspect]’. The rank technically still holds water, as the official responsible for overseeing satisfaction of the people’s is occasionally called “leader of people” instead of “Overseer of satisfaction”, but fundamentally it is far far less powerful as an individual rank as it once was.

An interesting rank! I like that the name has carried on without having the same power and prestige it once had, but in a way keeping its importance!
