The Government
The Governmental Structure
Phase 1
The Council
During the early days of Phase One, the Government issued laws based on a simple majority referendum system, where each business owner had one vote. During this time legislation regarding the use of TNT was implemented. Similarly, the The Tribunal effectively was a jury of its peers, where every business owner not involved in the case would be part of a panel to make the ruling on the cases. This type of jury ruled on all 3 court cases in the currently recorded history.The First Mayor
During the latter part of Phase One the office of mayor was established and a mayor Anne was elected. The duties and powers of the mayoral office however were not well established and not much changed during this time besides the implementation of taxes.Phase 2
The Lord Mayor
At the beginning of Phase 2 Thomas was effectively appointed Lord Mayor by the agreement of all business owners active at the time. He implemented many changes amongst which was the creation of the Ducat, The Quest Board and a lot more formalised office of the Mayor with legislation creation rights.Phase 2&3
The Coalition Government
When Thomas resigned from his position due to the backlash resulting from the actions of The Renevue Revolution a new Mayor was to be elected. During the Second Mayoral Election however no candidate managed to reach a majority of votes and as such a coalition government was created with Alex as mayor and Joeke as vice-mayor, with both of them also splitting the responsibilities of the office. Alex is predominantly responsible for legislation and Joeke for the quest board with both parties needing to agree on the rewards for the quests as an “anti-corruption” measure. Upon election Alex immediately passed 3 acts protecting the Dark Oak forest, reducing taxes and outlawing physical attacks on other citizens . During early Phase 3 the office of the Sheriff was implemented during the "Wham-Bam Law Jam" package as an extension of the Juidicial branch of the government.Laws.
