Prefecture Hierarch Offices

Overview
The Prefecture Hierarch Offices, organized formally under the Council of Hierarchs, serves as the regional leadership for the Vitian Empire's prefectures, handling regional issues that are of little consequence to the Emperor's grand vision. Under the Writ of Exaltation, Prefecture Hierarchs are elected democratically by the prefecture citizens and serve a term of 5 years. Hierarchs serve at the pleasure of the Empire and may be dismissed by the Emperor or their peers and can be recalled by their constituents. Hierarchs work closely with the Vizier and the Emperor to ensure that the Imperial Union continues to operate under previous and new mandates by ensuring that their respective Prefectures are working in alignment towards those goals. Each Hierarch Office has the following organization:

Organizational Breakdown
Hierarch Office City Council District Representatives
 * The Office of the Hierarch is located, typically, within that Prefecture's Capital City. The Hierarch also has an office within Annarach's Rock for when the Emperor calls Council of Hierarch meetings. Hierarchs spend much of their time touring their respective prefectures and speaking about the goals of the Empire.
 * The City Council is composed, typically, of five District Representatives from around the city serving staggered terms of two years. The City Council is responsible for handling the city-specific initiatives of the Empire and communicating the needs of their constituents to the Hierarch.
 * District Representatives are the closest to the citizens of the Empire. Serving as a District Representative is considered part-time community service until you are called to serve on the City Council, which is a full-time position. Serving as the District Representative is compulsory for at least one year but there is no limit to the amount of time one can serve as a District Representative.
