Assembly of Towns
The Assembly of Towns is the main legislative legal body within the Kingdom of Recfrere. They are responsible for all civilian decisions at the highest levels of government. They also organize yearly budgets and provide funding to the other branches of the nation's administration, overseeing the collection of all tax revenue. The Chairman of the Assembly of Towns is considered the supreme authority when it comes to decision making in diplomacy both internally and externally. They also approve the laws which are later enforced by the related Assembly of Sheriffs. The Free Army of Recfrere similarly cannot conduct military operations without the approval of the Towns.
Structure
The Assembly of Towns consists of the mayors who have been elected from the various major townships and cities of the Kingdom of Recfrere. Areas outside of the metropolitan areas are overseen by appointees from the Chairman of the Assembly, who is responsible for the collection of taxes in more rural regions. The Chairman is elected from among the mayors of the assembly every ten years, and it is rare that a Chairman repeats terms but not unheard of. The Chairman is the final authority within the Assembly, and is the deciding vote in the case of a tie in a course of action or policy decision.
Public Agenda
The Assembly of Towns publicly represents the civilians and workers of the Kingdom of Recfrere. Officially they advocate for peace and workers' rights outside of the military and law enforcement. They also oversee the development of the nation's infrastructure and roadways, and frequently come into conflict with both the army and the sheriffs. They believe in open trade and occasional conflicts with the Mersan Union, the nation's hated rivals. They have recently begun advocating for more lenient border controls with the Kingdom of Populres, seeking to preserve the peace in the north, allowing greater focus on the Mersans.
