==Alliance Assembly, Council of Admirals / Prime Minister's Office== | |||
<u>'''Structure'''</u> | |||
Each Alliance Member State has a number of Council Members within the Alliance Assembly, based on the size of their respective populations. Some only have one. The Prime Minister is elected by the Members, and it is his or her job to corral them into some sort of consensus; generally a slow process. There is much less tradition than in the other powers, and processes within the Alliance Assembly are still subject to change – generally when arguments break out, as they frequently do. In practice the Alliance is largely run by Civil Servants – salaried officials that look after day to day running of the Alliance, generally not getting involved in the political struggles. | |||
The Alliance Defence Force is run by the six member Council of Admirals, independently from the Council of Members, but reporting to it after the event, to facilitate rapid decision-making. Each of these Admirals is from a key contributing Navy. | |||
'''<u>Location</u>''' | |||
Garden City on Turner’s World in Alioth, close to the old industrial and ship-building city of New Rossyth. | |||
<u>'''Selection / Appointment'''</u> | |||
The PM is elected by the Council Members. Each Member State has slightly different electoral rules based on their history. | |||
'''<u>System Representation</u>''' | |||
Alliance member systems are represented by their Council Member(s) in Parliament. Parliament is virtual, but run from Turner’s World in Alioth. | |||
'''<u>Tenure</u>''' | |||
In theory the Prime Minister is elected for six years, but disputes within the Assembly have meant that the PM often doesn’t make it that long. They can suffer votes against them, often resulting in resignation, or occasionally votes of not confidence. They can serve multiple terms, but none have manages to do so yet. | |||
<u>'''Day to Day Responsibilities'''</u> | |||
The Assembly represents their population. The Council of Admirals runs the Alliance Defence Force. The real power rests with the Civil Servants, and the Council of Admirals. | |||
'''<u>How does the Council respond in terms of political representation, when a member system's Minor Faction flips?</u>''' | |||
If this happens within a Member State, then depending on the rules of that Member State it could change who represents them in the Assembly – but given that the Assembly rarely gets anything done, it is unlikely anyone will notice. | |||
