Vice President of Acadia

The Vice President represents a typical legislative district in the Senate.

## Election

Presidential elections take place on the first Saturday in April of every even-numbered year not divisible by four. Presidents serve four-year terms, and may only be re-elected once. If Presidents serve a partial term less than two years, this does not count towards the limit.

Ranked-choice voting is the method used to elect the President. Voters rank all candidates in order of preference; if a candidate does not receive a majority of first-choice votes, then the lowest-performing candidate is eliminated and those votes are re-distributed according to the voters' second choices. This is repeated until a candidate receives a majority of the popular vote.

When the new Senate convenes on May 1 (the same date every year no matter the day of the week), the President is always the first member of the Senate to be sworn-in by a chosen justice of the Supreme Court of Acadia. In a year without a presidential election, the President is not sworn-in again.

On June 11, 2017, the Jonkas City Council passed legislation that raised the age requirement from 16 to 18, disqualifying Granwood from running in the August 2017 election (he only turned 17 on August 16, 2017).

Vessel (state)

A **Vessel** is a human spirit that is so corrupted by "evil" (or perhaps sin) that they are capable of being remotely controlled by a demon, and forced to act in their stead, with varying degrees of awareness. It is implied that an abundance of evil carried in the soul interferes with the human right of free will, making them easier to compromise. [Source: Frederike (1/30/18)]

Being a Vessel is similar to being a human susceptible to involuntary possession or channeling; the target has no choice in the matter, and sometimes, retains no memory of what happens. Others remain completely aware, but unable to prevent their actions.

The Council refers to this as being a "demon portal," one who can be forced to channel the essence of a demon through their consciousness. (This may not be the same thing, but something similar.) Colloquially, the process of a ghost being remotely possessed is referred to as "hijacking."

## Known Vessels

### Arthur Wright

Arthur has been hijacked more than once, apparently by unrelated demons. The first few times this occurred were used the same way: as a means of terrorizing someone with an act of sexual assault. The reason for this exact method is unknown, as Arthur has no history of sex-related violence. More than likely, this is because demons derive power from such acts, and the added suffering and fear only magnifies that gain. Both times, Arthur remained aware but unable to prevent his actions, beyond giving a warning that he was not in control.

Subsequent acts of hijacking saw him used more violently and with less and less awareness. The most recent one, he was not aware at all, comparing the handful of moments he was hijacked to "blacking out" and waking up somewhere else. This implies the level of awareness may vary based on the level of control the demon has on the ghost, or the distance between them (the puppeteer was probably closer the latest time than any *other* time).

He had displayed no ability to fight off this control on his own.
Jane Soto

**Jane Millicent Soto** (born 1929) is a Balitc politician and businesswoman who served as the 13th President of Balta from 1986 to 1994. Soto was the second woman President after Martha Ramsay.

Soto had not held any political office before she was elected President. She served as as CEO for two decades prior.

Soto often held views slightly right of her party, the Democratic-Progressive Party.

Green Party

The **Green Party** is a left-wing, eco-socialist political party in Acadia. It was formed in 1973, and first won seats in the Acadia Senate in 1974.

## Leadership

Ed Franklin was the first Leader of the Green Party. He served from 1973 to 1988.

After Franklin's retirement, the Green Party constitution was amended to require a leadership election on September 30 in even-numbered years (one day before the new Senate convenes). In 1988, Holly Saunders was elected the second Green Leader.

Saunders was re-elected Green Leader in 1990 and 1992. In 1994, she lost re-election to the Senate but was re-elected Green Leader. In 1996, she lost re-election in both her Senate campaign and her leadership campaign. She was replaced as leader by Claire Burton.

Burton was re-elected in 1998 and 2000, but did not stand for re-election in 2002.

Thomas Brown was elected Green Leader in 2002, and re-elected in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012. In 2013, Brown died in a plane accident. A special election was held, electing Amy Landy in his place.

Supported by the Estonian Democratic-Progressive Party (33 seats) and the Socialist Party of Estonia (19 seats), the three parties achieved a majority coalition.

The Royal Guard Division

Flag of the Royal Guard Division

Most of the elite units are held in reserve around Worcester, Malvern and the King's court at Madresfield House. It was these formations that effectively checked the Anglican League and eventually drove back the People's Assault Columns during the first Severn Valley campaign.
Edward's Guard regiments have become the model of the military professionalism in the civil war, and are regarded as elite troops both regarding morale and ability. That is having been said the Household cavalry shows a disturbing habit of "going Balaclava" when serving on horseback.
