Elections - in the last weeks of November, March, and July, the region elects its new leaders!

Within weeks, you could see a total reshuffle of power not only within our region, but within the Union as a whole!

The Archon - the Archon is the penultimate position of power within CAD, but do not be alarmed! The Archon is kept in check by a system of checks and balances, both within the region, which can be seen in the constitution, and by the Union. The main role of the Archon is to oversee the other branches of government and keep everything in working order. They are elected every 4 months.
The Vice-Archon - the second highest-ranking individual within the region is the Vice-Archon. The main role of this position is to advise the Archon on governmental matters, and act in their stead should the Archon be otherwise indisposed, until their return. They also take over should the Archon be impeached, until an election can elect a new Archon. The Vice-Archon is appointed by the Archon.
The WA Delegate - the World Assembly Delegate is the region’s main representative within the World Assembly, and is the third in the succession line, should issues with the prior two positions arise. They are picked by the Archon, though the Citizens can motion to have the position removed from an individual, which would require a new candidate to be chosen.
The Citizens' Council - the Council, unlike the previous three positions, is made up of every citizen within the region that has maintained their citizenship and has met certain requirements. The Council meets to discuss and vote on bills, laws, and other legislation that affects the region. More info on the Council, what they do, and how to join it can be found in this Guide.
The Directors - the Directors are appointed by the Archon and they each manage one of the the three Directorates: Internal Affairs, Regional Events, and Communications. The DoIA manages recruitment, helping newcomers, and maintaining the security of the region. the DoRE focuses on the culture and events of the region, being the head of the regional RP, regional festivals and celebrations. Finally, the DoComms is in charge of the regional newspaper, the Citizens' Alliance Digest, which is released monthly.
