10.3 City leaders
City and Councilleaders, known variously as Shah/Farah (Antioch), Emeris (Celidon), Wildgraf (Ithaqua), Prophet/Prophetess (Khandava), or Duke/Duchess (Kinsarmar) are both the figurehead and most powerful person in a city in political terms.
By default, the city or council ruler is chosen by a majority vote of the ruling council (HELP RULINGCOUNCILS), and is by necessity a member of it. The person in this position is also immune to political challenges from the populace. He or she may only be removed after his or her fellow ruling council members have made someone else the leader. You can view the way the politics are structured in your city or council with POLITICS [city/council].
Among other responsibilities which vary from place to place, the leader is responsible for choosing the Ministers of each ministry.
A leader has all the commands of a normal member of the ruling council, with some additions:
APPOINT <citizen> <ministry>
Appoint someone as head of a ministry. Valid ministries: Ambassador, War, Security, Treasurer, Steward, Trade, Chancellor, Culture, Development. Not all of these ministries may exist in your city depending on its political structure (see POLITICS LIST FOR <city>)
APPOINT <citizen> GOVERNOR <towne>
Appoint someone as the governor as a towne. Note that this will make them a citizen of that towne by default.
FUNDS COFFERS
See the amount of gold in the city offers.
