Saukhin Islands: Difference between revisions

The government of the Saukhin Islands is similar to the governments of the [[Bogocía Region|Bogocía]] and [[Porvaos Region|Porvaos]] regions–a regional government, complete with a Governor and a Regional Legislature, with the addition of a purely ceremonial monarchy. The current monarch of the Saukhin Islands is King Kapahuna, who has had the throne since 2008. As codified in the Saukhin Charter, there are three branches of government: the executive, legislative and judicial. The executive branch is led by the democratically-elected Governor of the Saukhin Islands, who is assisted by the Lieutenant Governor of the Saukhin Islands, both of whom are elected on the same ticket. The governor is the only regional public official who is elected region-wide by universal suffrage; all others are appointed by the governor. The lieutenant governor acts as the Home Officer for the region. The governor and lieutenant governor oversee twenty agencies and departments from their offices in the Regional Capitol. The official residence of the governor is Saukhin Place in Oaroa. The current governor is [[Nathan Daubâs]], who was elected in [[2033 Saukhin Islands Gubernatorial Election|2033]] by a landslide victory, and is currently serving his first term as governor. Governors are limited to two terms. The legislative branch consists of the unicameral [[Saukhin Regional Legislature]], which is composed of 51 members, led by the President of the Legislature. The Legislature meets at the Regional Capitol. The unified judicial branch of the Saukhin islands is the Saukhin Regional Court. The region's highest court is the Imperial Court of the Saukhin Islands, which uses the former Tapkoii seat of government [[Iapoialoa]] as its meeting place.
