Councilor-President of Sermaye

The was the leader of the Republic of Sermaye. The Councilor-President was (re)-elected annually from and by the Councilors of the National Council of the Republic: Councilors were eligible on the basis of having received at least 1% of the vote in the republic's national election, held every five years (though certain council candidates who crossed the eligibility threshold then declined to serve on the basis that their vote share was too small to represent a mandate), and their votes were weighted proportionally to their share of the electorate. While it was technically possible for the Council to have a hundred members, the historical number typically ranged from about 12 to 15, representing the leaders of different political machines across the Republic. Traditionally, the Councilor-President was the individual with the most votes on the council, though a significant minority of Councilor-Presidents built the necessary coalitions to beat out the frontrunner. 
Though technically possible, no Councilor-President ever held an outright majority of the votes of the National Council. The Councilor-President could be recalled by a majority of the council votes, but otherwise had no term limit and could be reelected indefinitely (Councilor-Presidents such as Alexander Wynn held power for over a decade).
