The
First Citizen is the executive of the nation and is elected to a 2 year term, but subject to recall by the People's Assembly based on a vote of No-Confidence. The First Citizen appoints a number of liaisons and to help persue his policies in different spheres such as domestic policy with the Assembly, economic policy with the Combined Syndicates and Foreign and Military Policy with the Supreme Commander. These liaisons act as lobbying groups for the First Citizen to influence them.
