The Seat of the Directorate is the office of the head of state of [[Faneria]]. Formerly titled 'Despot', a holdover of a joke made about the first leader of the Republic, [[Callac Cananach]], the position was renamed in 2018 when the sitting official, Brennan Cían [[Walaerin]], requested the change during the political upset of his switch from the Starkist to the Futurist faction within the [[Political Parties of Faneria#Central Republic Party|CRP]]. The position is elected every five years, and holds the typical powers of an executive branch, approving laws made by the legislature, directing the overall geopolitical, diplomatic, military, and economic goals of the country, and acting as the face of the nation.

The Director of the Republic is head of state, with the powers of the Head of Government resting nominally in the subordinate office of the Taoisteach. The Directorate is an elected position selected for by a two-stage vote; popular vote among citizens from a pool of candidates from every party able to claim more than five percent of the electorate, encouraging small parties to confederate during election seasons. These candidates may be barred from running by a 2/3rds majority in the Assembly. The term of office for the Seat is five years, with a hard limit of six terms - however, no Director has ever held the position for more than five terms, which is generally considered a soft limit out of respect for the Republic's first head of state, [[Callac Cananach]]. | |||

The NLC is generally composed of 12-16 members, and always must include the [[Taoisteac]], the three Assembly Speakers, and two members from each dedicated Advisory Division. There are no requirements for other positions; these tend to be filled by ministers whose tasks are of particular import at any given time, industrial, science, or military specialists, and so on. Members hold no special privileges beyond their other position/s, but an appointment to the NLC is typically taken as a sign of considerable respect and as a mark of expertise. | ||
