===Interim Administration for the Seneca Islands===
===Interim Administration for the Seneca Islands===
The Interim Administration for the Seneca Islands (IASI) was created as the day-to-day administration of the islands during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Although [[Martin St. Clair]] retained the title of [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|military rector]], his role was envisioned as a largely removed head-of-state role for the functioning of the government. Instead, the IASI was lead by the Insular Governing Board (IGB) which consisted of fifteen members and had quasi-legislative authority provided its decisions did not interrupt the prosecution of the war. The IGB was comprised of four [[Ranks_in_the_Urcean_Armed_Forces#Senior_Officers|Prafáti]] of the occupying [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]], four civilian officials appointed by the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]], two representatives of the then-newly formed Dockworkers' Trade Guild, two representatives of the similarly newly constituted Fishermen's Trade Guild, one representative from the temporarily organized East Seneca Citizens Militia which surrendered the island to Urcean forces, the former Mayor of Zakan Rot, and a representative of the [[Levantine Catholic Church]] responsible for overseeing missionary activities on the island. The IGB met on a weekly basis and its primary task was to establish a temporary code of laws for the islands based on its pre-conquest laws, when permissible, and various laws and legal traditions of Urcea when the original laws were not permissible. Following the completion of this interim law code in September 2022, the Board met less frequently but provided for the necessities of day-to-day administration. The IGB also established the necessary governing commissions of the islands. In January 2024, it voted to dissolve itself and provide for elections to the Insular Councils in February 2024 in accordance with the decisions of the [[Government of Urcea]] and Lec. Pri. St. Clair.
The practical executive administration of the island under the IASI fell to five bodies known as Commissions, which were lead by Commissioners appointed by the IGB. The five commissions were: the Commission on Agriculture and Sea Produce, which was responsible for regulating and encouraging the food production of the islands as well as habitat protection; the Commission on Law Enforcement, responsible for keeping order in addition to the occupying soldiers; the Commission for Insular Recovery, which was the primary body overseeing the local cleanup efforts of the [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot|atomic bombing]] as well as coordinating with international response efforts; the Commission for Health and Development, which was responsible for administering the island's hospitals and schools, both of which the Commission was responsible for upgrading to Occidental standards, and; the Commission for Local Mediation, which was responsible for hearing and resolving disputes between the local population and the occupying forces.
