Governors' Chamber

Government

Born out of political unrest and provincial secession, the Governor's Chamber emerged after The Calamity. Its aim was to give a stronger voice to the provinces of the Empire and their people, and counterbalance the dominance of the nobility in the legislative process. 

The Governors' Chamber consists of representatives of the governor of each province.  The governor is appointed by the emperor.  The governor, in turn, works with a provincial council which is voted for by the local citizens by district.  The governor selects a representative from the province (who must also be a citizen) that is sent to the Governors' Chamber.  The representative must be approved by the provincial council. A representative is elected for a five year term.

Despite its intended purpose, the chamber faces challenges in achieving egalitarian representation. Some provincial councils succumb to the influence of the governors or other groups, compromising the chamber's ability to fully reflect the will of the people.

The Governors' Chamber shares power with the Chamber of Arcane and the Lords' Chamber.  All three Chambers can veto an Imperial decree.
