The Procurator of the Royal Treasury of the Apostolic King usually referred to just as the Procurator (Leb: Procuratí) is, alongside the Chancellor and Temporary President, the head of government of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea and its government. The Procurator serves as chief executive of the Urcean state, and at times serves as de facto head of state. The Procurator directs the policies of the Conshilía Purpháidhe and nominally serves as presiding officer of the Conshilía Daoni, and is elected by the nation as a whole. In addition to the office's political and administrative responsibilities, the Procurator serves as Magister Militum of His Most Christian Majesty's Armed Forces, making him the de facto supreme commander of the Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea.
The office of Procurator, which is a Latin term originating in Great Levantia roughly translating to "steward", originated as a functionary in most Medieval Levantine states entrusted with the management of the Royal Treasury on behalf of the King or Monarch. In Urcea, however, the Procurator was entrusted with the organization and administration of the Conshilía Daoni in 1146, initially an adjunct body of the Great Landsmeet. By the time of the Great Confessional War, the Procurator was the most important of the King's counselors, often served as regent in the minority of a monarch, and was always treated with the dignity of acting in persona Rex, in the person of the King. During the development of the Constitution of Urcea, the Procurator grew in this capacity to become a national leader second only to the King, and with the growing power and development of the Conshilía Purpháidhe the Procurator became the most powerful government official in the Kingdom. Following the Red Interregnum, the office became elective via an electoral college, which was replaced in 1938 during the Second Great War with a full national popular vote election for the Procurator, which was the most recent key development in the Constitution of Urcea. The office of Procurator in its current form is considered to have come into being in 1803 during the Second Caroline War.
One must be over the age of thirty, possess Urcean citizenship, and be a baptized Catholic in order to qualify to serve as Procurator. The Procurator is elected every five years and has no term limits, and oftentimes the major parties' candidate for Procurator is their party leader. Consequently, it is legally possible for an individual to serve as both Procurator and Chancellor and Temporary President, giving them a wide array of authority over the Urcean state similar to that of a president. A Procurator can be removed from office for any reason, but can only be removed by a three quarters vote of the Conshilía Daoni, a vote which must be confirmed by the King.
History
Powers and duties
The Procurator also oversees the Treasury Ambassador Service in his role as head of the treasury. In the event of an impasse between the Procurator and Ministry of State, the Service serves as an independent corps of Urcean accredited ambassadors which represent the Procurator abroad in place of other official ambassadors.
Succession and disability
In the event of a vacancy of the office of Procurator, the Apostolic King of Urcea, on consultation with the Chancellor and Temporary President, appoints a replacement to serve out the remainder of the term prior to the next election. Typically, the King chooses an individual of the same party as the previous Procurator in order to maintain the integrity of the democratic elections for the office. Almost always, the King's nominee is that party's Leader or Deputy Leader in the Conshilía Daoni.
In the event of the Procurator's disability, the the Chancellor and Temporary President assumes the office on an acting basis subject to approval of the Conshilía Daoni and the King, who certifies the disability of the Procurator. If the Procurator returns from said disability, the King formally restores him to his office.
Political affiliation
Throughout most of the history of the Constitutional era, politics of Urcea have been dominated by political parties. Given the organic nature of constitutional development, political parties were not anticipated, giving the National Pact a significant advantage in organization. This has allowed the National Pact to hold the office for most of its history.
The Urcean procuratorial primary is mainly responsible for choosing the major candidates for election to the office of Procurator, and accordingly political affiliation is considered a prerequisite to win the office.
Residence
Prior to the middle of the 19th century, the Procurator lived in any private residence in Urceopolis that he owned, but beginning with growing Constitutional precedent, the Apostolic King of Urcea began to make an increasing amount of the Julian Palace available to government officers and institutions, and in 1843 the Procurator took up residence in the Palace as part of wartime efforts during the Third Caroline War to allow greater coordination between the King and Procurator. Following the war, the Procurator's informal residence continued until 1852, after which the Procurator's apartments became a permanent fixture within the palace.
Post-Procuratorship
Under the Former Procurators Act of 1969, all living former Procurators are granted a pension, an office, and a staff. The pension has increased numerous times with Conshilía Daoni approval. Retired Procurators now receive a pension based on the salary of the current Conshilía Purpháidhe's ministers, which was ₮242,700 each year in 2030. All Procurators receive lifetime protection from the Life Guard. Some Procurators have had significant careers after leaving office, including Michael Witte. Others, such as Michael Redder, retire from public affairs at the end of their term.
