The National Hierarch is elected a single fifteen year term and uses {{Wp|Regnal name|regnal names and numbering}}, with the name of the Hierarch serving as the {{wp|Regnal year|regnal era}} of the Algosh calendar. The role of the National Hierarch is somewhat limited and serves as a symbolic embodiment of the constitution, but the role does have the authority to appoint both the nation's foreign ambassadors and diplomats as well as judges. Additionally, the National Hierarch nominates the Captains-General of the nation's federal units, the Captaincies, to be confirmed by a vote by the Assembly. The National Hierarch has a suspensive veto, but this authority can only be used to delay consideration of a measure by the Assembly for six months, and cannot be used more than once on a specific legislative initiative during any term of the Assembly. The National Hierarch is prohibited from having any role in the Algosh military due to the legacy of the [[Algosh coup]], though the nation's disarmed status makes this distinction largely nominal. The office of National Hierarch is non-partisan, and candidates running for it are prohibited by law from being associated with any political party. | The National Hierarch is elected a single fifteen year term and uses {{Wp|Regnal name|regnal names and numbering}}, with the name of the Hierarch serving as the {{wp|Regnal year|regnal era}} of the Algosh calendar.

The Hierarch of the Treasury is elected nationally to five year terms with no term limit. The office serves as {{wp|chief executive}} and directs the affairs of the government through the role's authority as head of the national treasury. Accordingly, all cabinet officials take direction from the Hierarch of the Treasury. The office functionally oversees the daily affairs of the Republic, serves as the commander-in-chief of the nation's nominal armed forces, and can propose budgets and legislation directly to the National Assembly. The Hierarch also oversees the nation's foreign policy in conjunction with the National Hierarch, as the latter is responsible for appointing the nation's ambassadors and diplomats. | The Hierarch of the Treasury is elected nationally to five year terms with no term limit.

Unlike in [[Urcea]] and some other Julian systems, the Hierarch of the Treasury may not serve as a member of the National Assembly, ensuring that the office remains distinct from that of the legislative leader. All cabinet members are also prohibited from serving as members of the legislature during their term in the cabinet. | ||
