The government of the FDR is small in order to give more power to the citizens in crafting and implementing policy. Laws and constitutional changes are proposed by ordinary citizens and passed by their direct democratic majority vote. However, the few government positions that do exist have important responsibilities in managing the FDR, and one of them is quasi-dictatorial. The governmental positions of the FDR are:
The government of the FDR is small in order to give more power to the citizens in crafting and implementing policy. Laws and constitutional changes are proposed by ordinary citizens and passed by their direct democratic majority vote. However, the few government positions that do exist have important responsibilities in managing the FDR, and one of them is quasi-dictatorial. The governmental positions of the FDR are:


*The Ambassador, who is responsible for directing foreign policy and carrying out the will of the Danzilonans in such matters. They serve as the main point of contact for foreign entities and are also responsible for constructing embassies and other Danzilonan infrastructure outside of the FDR;
*The Foreign Minister, who is responsible for directing foreign policy and carrying out the will of the Danzilonans in such matters. They serve as the main point of contact for foreign entities and are also responsible for constructing embassies and other Danzilonan infrastructure outside of the FDR;
*The Surveyor, who is responsible for taking a monthly census and inducting new citizens, as well as offboarding inactive ones. They are also tasked with mapping out and patrolling the FDR's land claims to ensure no foreign settlements have been built on it; and
*The Interior Minister, who is responsible for taking a monthly census and inducting new citizens, as well as offboarding inactive ones. They are also tasked with mapping out and patrolling the FDR's land claims to ensure no foreign settlements have been built on it; and
*The Sheriff, the quasi-dictatorial position who is responsible for maintaining a standing security force and enforcing the laws of the FDR. In times of military crises, the Sheriff has the right to expand their authority and allow themselves to, among other things, ban non-citizens from the FDR and pearl individuals without trial. In doing so, however, they risk facing a citizen tribunal for any abuses committed during a time of crisis.
*The Defence Minister, the quasi-dictatorial position who is responsible for maintaining a standing security force and enforcing the laws of the FDR. In times of military crises, the Defence Minister has the right to expand their authority and allow themselves to, among other things, ban non-citizens from the FDR and pearl individuals without trial. In doing so, however, they risk facing a citizen tribunal for any abuses committed during a time of crisis.
*Each minister also has the power to appoint an undersecretary capable of carrying out specific duties within the bounds of their office.
