When Odresh was founded, it struggled to set up a defined political system. Crusher6581 wanted a monarchy until they had more citizens, while Lokilog pushed for a direct or representative democracy. As the debate flared up and other citizens weighed in, they shifted to two definite positions: Lokilog wanted a direct democracy, while Crusher wanted a representative democracy. Lokilog argued that they didn't have enough people for a representative democracy, and as such, almost everyone would be in a government position. He wanted decisions to be made directly. On the other hand, Crusher believed that a representative democracy was better, because with direct democracy, people who are unaware and not educated in current civpolitics would have control over every decision made. In the end, they voted for an indefinite but temporary direct democracy, and when a certain undecided number of citizens was reached, they would vote once more to determine the permanent system of government. For the nation's leadership, they decided to create the Foreign Affairs Representative, or F.A.R. The job of the F.A.R. was to act that the chief diplomat for the nation, representing it in all negotiations and general appearances on the world stage. In addition, the F.A.R. served as the leader in times of crisis. They could declare a national crisis at any time, allowing them to bypass the legislative process and take action immediately. Of course, there were limitations to this to prevent a dictator from taking charge, but this power was only invoked once, to create a tavel ban to Phylon during the Odresh-Phylon Conflict. Since Odresh's integration with Yoahtl, the positions of F.A.R. and Deputy F.A.R. have been replaced with Governor and Deputy Governor, currently occupied by Crusher6581 and Lokilog respectively.
