Ministry of State

Directorate of Public Administration

 

Serving the Empire and its People:

The various official offices, roles and functions that enable the Empire to operate are known collectively as the Public Administration. Any Citizen can take an active role in the day to day operations of Atlantium, and potentially help define the future shape and scope of its laws, administration, policies, procedures, activities and interactions by registering on this page to become a member of the Public Administration.

The Public Administration of the Empire of Atlantium encompasses the following specific roles and functions:

Consul
Consuls serve as the Empire's chief law-makers. They are elected to the Imperial Senate's legislative chamber, the Concilium for 2 year terms. Consuls may nominate for election within the Concilium to Ministerial positions, and therefore membership of the Executive Government.

Consular and Ministerial positions are amongst the most active in the Public Administration, and are recommended for those seeking a challenging, activist, potentially high-profile role within Atlantium.

Senator
The Senatus is the Imperial Senate's legislative review chamber. Senators are appointed for 2 year terms. Two thirds are appointed directly by the Emperor - including the First Senator. The remaining third are appointed by the Concilium.

If you think that you would like to play an active role in the Atlantian legislative process, but are seeking a less challenging way of doing so then a Senatorial role may be best for you.

Director
There are five Ministerial positions within the Atlantian Executive Government, and each encompasses a broad range of responsibilities. Where specialisation within a Ministry is required sub-Ministerial Directorates may be created at the discretion of the Minister and with the legislative approval of the Imperial Senate, as necessity and circumstances dictate. Each Directorate is managed by a Director appointed by the Minister, possessing potentially wide-ranging authority. Existing sub-Ministerial Directorates are listed below:

  • Ministry of Finance:
    Directorate of Commerce, Industry and Trade
    Directorate of Currency and Banking Services
    Directorate of Internal Revenue

  • Ministry of Communications
    Director of Latin Language Affairs
    Directorate of Postal Services
    Directorate of Public Information
    Directorate of Science and Technology
    Secretariat of Environmental Affairs
    Directorate of Transportation
    Directorate of Temporal Affairs
    Ministry of Social Services
    Directorate of Education Services
    Directorate of Health Services
    Directorate of Intercultural Affairs
    Directorate of Welfare Services

  • Ministry of State
    Directorate of Global Affairs
    Directorate of Internal Affairs
    Directorate of Nobiliary Affairs
    Directorate of Protocol
    Directorate of Public Administration

The role of Director is ideal for those who possess both specific knowledge of a particular discipline and the willingness to proactively apply that knowledge to drive change from within.

Magister
The Imperial Judicature is comprised of magisters (judges) who are appointed for two-year terms by the Emperor, and whose function is to interpret the Law as defined by the Constitution and the Imperial Senate.

A role as Magister would ideally suit those with experience or interest in the field of jurisprudence.

Imperial Legates
Atlantium currently maintains twelve unaccredited diplomatic missions in nine  countries. Imperial Legates are appointed and managed through the Ministry of State's Directorate of Global Affairs, and they are responsible for providing support to local Citizens and promoting the existence of Atlantium and the policies of its Administration to governments, non-government organisations and others within their assigned territories. 

A Legatine role is suited to those who wish to use their initiative in promoting the activities and policies of Atlantium within a specific geographic or geopolitical sphere of operations. They may also be an ideal role for Citizens who travel widely.
