Otonabee (CivRealms 2.0): Difference between revisions

The Republic of Otonabee is ruled by the democratically elected Beekeeper. This position replaced the position of the President upon the formation of the Otona-Varathian Empire and the dissolution of Otonabee's constitution, following a unanimous referendum. The Council of Bees, chosen by the Beekeeper, advises the Beekeeper and the Varathian emperors on matters of state. Elections are held upon request by citizens after a minimum period of 2 months following the prior election, and any primary or dual citizens are eligible to vote.Finally, the Beekeeper must have their primary residence in Otonabee to be eligible to run. Finally, the Judge is also chosen by the Beekeeper. Currently, IKEA_FRIDGE has been the only citizen to hold this title.

Internal politics are typically straightforward and simple, owing to the close friendships of many of the long-time citizens. All three prior leaders all retired of their own accord, and elections are infrequent and tend to favor the sitting leader. As per the signing of the Treaty of Lynn and the unification of Otona-Varathia, the Varathian Emperors have final say on any laws passed by the council and the Beekeeper, but the Beekeeper holds veto power over Otonabee coming under the jurisdiction of new Varathian laws.
