Executive responsibilities in Arona are shared by the President and National Administrator, the former of whom serves as {{wp|head of state}} and the latter as {{wp|chief executive}}. Like the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], the President has relatively limited responsibilities that include serving as a symbol of national sovereignty and appointment of military officers and judges. Unlike the Urcean King, however, the President holds an unrestrained suspensive veto that can suspend the consideration of any legislation by the Proprietary Assembly for a period of up to 364 days, the term of which is at the President's discretion. The President also signs legislation into law, and has no authority to reject legislation. Thus, the primary difference between the Urcean and Aronese forms of government relates to the role of the head of state in the legislature. The President is elected nationally once every ten years, and can only serve one term. | Executive responsibilities in Arona are shared by the President and National Administrator, the former of whom serves as {{wp|head of state}} and the latter as {{wp|chief executive}}.

The National Administrator has more significant limitations than the Urcean [[Procurator]], as he has no official role within the legislature. However, he is head of the treasury and controls the expenditure of funds, and consequently, has oversight of the cabinet. The National Administrator also has authority over the Aronese military.

However, he is head of the treasury and controls the expenditure of funds, and consequently, has oversight of the cabinet. The National Administrator also has authority over the Aronese military. The National Administrator is elected nationwide, serving four year terms for a maximum of three terms, following the same election cycle as the Proprietary Assembly. The Aronese government is unique among [[Julian republic]]s in that its chief executive - the National Administrator - is far weaker than any other Julian style state. Domestically, there has been a strong minority movement for reform of the constitution, eliminating the Administrator and dividing his responsibilities between the President and Chair, thus making Arona a more traditional {{wp|Semi-presidential republic|semi-presidential republic}}. | ||
The cabinet enjoys broad authority over its respective policy areas. Its members are appointed by the Chair of the Proprietary Assembly. The Chair holds no direct authority over the cabinet - that power is reserved to the Administrator - but holds significant political influence over the cabinet's members. The cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the Proprietary Assembly, and can be removed at any time by a {{wp|motion of no confidence}}. | The cabinet enjoys broad authority over its respective policy areas.
