IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION

THE IMPERIAL OFFICE OF 

CIVIL AFFAIRS

Issued and averred by the office of

His Excellency, Jerome Halcourt af Brasca, Imperial Reeve

3rd of Harren’s Folly, 642

✠ HEED, LEAL SONS OF HOREN; 

 

It has come to my attention, as the newly appointed Imperial Reeve, that the Imperial Office of Immigration has not reached its full potential. Therefore, in fulfillment of my mandate, as a Commissioner under the Sennan Chancellery, the Reeve’s office is hereby restructured to better execute its administrative and supervisory functions. Accordingly, the Office of Immigration is reconstituted as the Office of Civil Affairs, reviving a tradition of centralized civil administration and institutional branding employed at various points in Imperial history, including the Johannian, Pertinaxi, and Petrine eras.

STRUCTURE OF THE OFFICE

 

IMPERIAL REEVE 

As a senior Commissioner of the Imperial Chancellery, the Imperial Reeve is charged with overseeing all matters of elections, news, and immigration, and answers directly to the Archchancellor and Vice Chancellor. His duties include running Imperial elections to the municipal government of the capital city as well as the national legislature; conducting the Imperial Census and reporting to the public on demographic details ascertained therein; keeping the citizenry abreast of current affairs via timely publication of the the state-ran newspaper, the Imperial Gazette; and performing other duties as assigned by superiors. Most critically, the Reeve performs a supervisory role in these endeavors: they recruit, train, and collaborate with staff in order to fulfill assigned duties together.

DEPUTY REEVE

The Imperial Deputy Reeve serves as a senior administrator of the Office of Civil Affairs directly beneath the Imperial Reeve. In his absence, either Deputy Reeve may assume his duties with full delegated authority. The Deputy Reeve helps primarily with supervising the highest-ranking subordinates within the Reeve’s office, which is to say, the Director of Elections, the Director of News, and the Director of Immigration. To this end, the Deputy Reeve conducts one-on-one meetings with these officers each saint’s week and delivers a report to the Reeve with information gathered therein. Ultimately, the Deputy Reeve is a middle manager, but also, they are being mentored and trained for higher leadership.
