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.
