I just realiced that I only ever explained the position of the Monarch... never the rest of the Wexxian Government.
The Wexxian Government; the High Council.
In the Wexxian government, the Monarch is the Voice of the Nation and he is the one who interprets the votes of the people. Yet the issues to be voted upon are decided, by not only the Monarch, but also the High Council.
The High Council is the collection of overseers who administer the nation in different areas of focus.
The High Council consist of seven individuals, considered experts on their areas.
Overseer of Foreign Affairs:
A most important position, as the Wexxians are always involved with a wide range of species. The OoFA spends a lot of his time meeting with representatives of alien nations.
Overseer of the Military:
Usually an admiral, the OotM is the military’s seat in the government. Most military decisions are proposed by the OotM.
Overseer of Infrastructure:
One of the only positions directly concerned with the Wexxian nation; it concerns everything from nano engineering, to terraforming. The OoI proposes most new expansion plans.
Overseer of Technology:
Propositions concerning the directions of scientific study of the Wexxian nation are most often proposed by the OoT.
Overseer of Justice:
The least important Overseer… simply because the OoJ has very little to do. Wexxians are not really lawbreakers, but for the sake of the Wexxian High Court, the OoJ has a seat in the Council.
Overseer of Shadows:
The OoS is never mentioned to any outsiders… the affairs of the Spec-Ops and the Shades are represented by this council member. Best not to say more… I don’t want to get arrested.
Overseer of Culture:
Unlike the rest of the positions, the OoC is most often held by young individuals. The OoC is always active in expanding the Wexxian culture and make their society more complex.
Random trivia: the Wexxian laws do not state that you have to be Wexxian to be a member of the High Council… only that you have to be qualified!
By the way, the position as Overseer of Foreign Affairs, is open since the previous OoFA; Al-Sekar, became Monarch.
