| Post subject: | Casadian Government Overview |
Casadia’s government has two notable bodies: the High Council and the Council of Elders. The High Council (also known as the Master’s Council) is the executive and legislative body of the Casadian government. It is composed of the Guardian of Casadia and the various Masters of trade, labor, treasury, infrastructure, agriculture, laws, history, diplomacy, mining, and logistics. The Guardian serves as head of the council and has the final say in all matters, though most day-to-day matters are handled by the masters of those respective areas. Virtually all of the governing power in Casadia is vested in this body. When there is a vacancy or resignation, replacements are nominated by members of the High Council or Council of Elders and must be approved by a majority vote of the High Council. The Council of Elders is an advisory body composed of former Guardians and masters. Though it has little political power, it is a source of knowledge and wisdom for members of the High Council. While these two bodies handle the large political matters of the realm, each region and settlement has a Guardian delegated power to deal with regional and local matters. The Guardian of each settlement is subordinate to the regional Guardian, who in turn is subordinate to the Guardian of Casadia. These Guardians are chosen in the same manner as new members of the High Council. Judicial power lies in the hands of the Guardian, though the level of Guardian presiding over the trial depends on the importance of the proceedings. Almost all legal matters are handled by the Guardians of various settlements. Casadia’s legal code is vague at best. The Code of Casadia, an ancient set of guiding principles laid out by the founder of modern Casadia, is used as a reference for legal proceedings and judgments, but it is far from a complete set of rules. When the Code is unclear, it is up to the presiding Guardian to determine the outcome. |

Former Guardians and elders make for an impressive advisory board. Most interesting. |

I have a question my lord, In a local sense (a county, settlement, etc.) is the local guardian the only figure of authority or it should follow the greater gubermental organization and arrange a local (high) council and a local council of elders? Or is the local guardian granted independence to organize the local authorities as he/she best fits? |

The local guardian can organize the local authorities as they see fit. |
