Chancellor
From MicroWiki
The Chancellor of the United Republic is the head of state of the United Republic of Arlberg. Under the constitution, the President is also the chief executive of the Continental Congress and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The full, but rarely used, title is Chancellor of the United Republic of Arlberg.'
The Chancellor is an odd head of state for the United Republic of Arlberg, as it was in Arlberg that the Empi System was created. Under the empi system, there are two chief executives in each state (the Emperor and Empress), but the highest office is held by one person.
The 1st (serving his second term) and, as of 2005, current Chancellor is titled officially as Chancellor Baringuton no Peli. Under the Naming conventions of Arlberg, the Chancellor is reffered to by the title "Mr. Chancellor" or simply "Chancellor" during his tenure and never by his real name.
