Athenia is a representative democracy where every 3 months the members all have a vote on the players who will sit on the board of directors for the next term. The board of directors consists of members who each represent a specific field. Within that field they are capable of making ‘Executive Decisions’ without requiring input from the other members of the board. If the decision is not specifically listed in their field of concern then it goes to a vote by the board members, these are called “Corporate Decisions”. These will be covered in more depth later in this text.


The board of directors is composed of four players who each represent a field of concern for the corporation. These directors make Executive Decisions within their field, and vote on Corporate Decisions.

Director of Security
The Director of Security is responsible for the armed forces of Athenia, their field of concern includes:
- Organisational matters pertaining to the military of Athenia
- Training operations
- Strategic direction of the military
- Response to war declarations

Director of the Treasury
The Director of the Treasury is responsible for the assets and finances of the corporation, their field of concern is:
- Accounting and distribution of corporate assets and finances

Director of Industry
The Director of Industry is responsible for the industrial operations of the corporation, their field of concern is:
- Mining, Refining and Manufacturing programs

Director of Human Resources
The Director of Human Resources is responsible for ensuring the growth and happiness of the corporation’s members, their field of concern is:
- Recruitment
- Member retention
- Activity levels

All board members have absolute jurisdiction within their fields of concern and may appoint people to look after specific tasks within that field of concern. One exception to this is the treasurer who by their role has a field of concern that intersects with the others. The treasurer may assign certain expenditures to each of the other fields, however if that director feels his field requires more than the treasurer has assigned then he may request additional funding.

The CEO
During this you may be asking yourself what the role of the CEO is. The CEO ensures that the democratic process is followed and has certain powers to enable this. In addition, the CEO may vote on Corporate Decisions when required to break ties.
The CEO may appoint an executive assistant who can be delegated any of his powers.
The CEO’s powers include:
- Voting on Corporate Decisions to break ties
- Keeping the members updated on relevant topics under discussion by the board
- Appointing special investigators for important inquiries
- Ensuring the democratic process is upheld
- Maintaining some of the corporations funds as insurance against fraud

The Board of Directors
Sometimes issues outside of any one director’s scope occur. In these instances a Corporate Decision is called for, where each director has one vote. The CEO will vote in the event of a tie. In the case of time sensitive decisions the CEO may choose to terminate voting early if board members are not available. Any member of the board, including the CEO, may present a Corporate Decision to be discussed and voted on.
Every three months the board of directors is voted on, information that will need to be included for each election entry will be –
- The position you are running for
- What your goals in your term are and how you plan to achieve them
- What your monthly pay rate is
Board members are paid according to what they listed in their campaign outline, and the CEO is paid the same as the highest paid director. Pay rates are limited to +20% of the board’s average pay.
Every month each director and the CEO are required to provide a brief report of their activities and their department’s results. This may be training outcomes for the security department, finance reports for the treasury, production reports for industry and recruitment and retention numbers for human resources.


One week before elections are due all candidates must post their campaign outline. The information contained in the outline should cover what your goals for your term are and how you hope to achieve them and how much you want to get paid for your time. Each candidate must name a deputy who will serve in their absence. If this deputy is not also someone running for election, they must post their own campaign outline as well.
The voting period will last for 24 hours, during which time the current directors are removed from their positions pending the results. For this period the CEO holds all executive power until the new (or returning) directors are appointed.
Elections may be postponed or staggered if there is a crisis requiring the management of current directors.
