Trade Federation Leadership

Governance Overview

The Trade Federation’s governance is rooted in a long-standing tradition of structured hierarchy, where authority flows through clearly defined ranks and promotions are earned through a combination of time in service, exceptional skill, professional expertise, and demonstrated performance. At its apex sits the Cabinet, comprising the Office of the Viceroy and the equal yet auxiliary Office of the Duceroy. This dual leadership is balanced by the Inner Circle, a body of Councillors entrusted with safeguarding the Federation’s stability, advising the leadership, and appointing successors to the offices of Viceroy and Duceroy. Councillors may also hold concurrent positions throughout the Federation’s structure. The Cabinet also includes three principal ministries, namely, the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of the Interior. These ministries are responsible for directing the Federation’s external diplomacy, military operations, and internal administration, respectively.

Beneath these ministries lies the Directorate, a vast and varied network of operational divisions, command offices, and specialist bodies, and nationalized factions, each charged with fulfilling the Federation’s strategic, administrative, and operational mandates. This enduring system ensures unity of command, operational efficiency, and the preservation of the Federation’s traditions of leadership.

Cabinet

The below illustrates the current command structure of the Trade Federation.

At it's head, sits the Viceroy and the Inner Circle, which is made up of the Duceroy and councilors. Between them, they make up The Rule of Four, whereby the title of Viceroy will rotate between those within the Inner Circle in 6 month cycles - unless otherwise approved by the Inner Circle.

Below the Inner Circle, are the Ministers of State, the Interior and Defense. These three ministers, plus the Inner Circle make up the Cabinet. From time to time, the Viceroy and Inner Circle may appoint advisors to the Cabinet, for example, the Chief Justice may sit in on matters pertaining to law and legal disputes.

At the next level within the Ministry of State, you have the departments of Justice, Trade and External Affairs, lead by the Chief Justice, Trade Ambassador and High Ambassador, respectively. Whilst within the MoS, these 3 roles report directly to the Viceory. This is then followed by the departments of Admissions, Culture and Holotech, lead by directors of Admissions and Cultures and the Main Administrator for the Ministry of Holotech. These three report to the Minister of State.

Three directorates sit within the Ministry of the Interior - Resources, Production and Industry, all assisted by the Department of Operations. All four are lead by Executive Directors who report directly to the Minister of the Interior. Below then, the Trade Federations NATs, Baktoid Armour Workshop, Centurion Arms, Kuat Drive Yards, and Techno Union. These are run by the respective directors, who all report to the Executive Director of the Directorate of Production.
