Role

Created by the Austrovian Constitution of 2019, the Chancellor acts as the official replacement for the Reich Chancellor, which was abolished after the June 2019 coup attempt by former Reich Chancellor Anthony Easton.

The Chancellor is the head of Federal Government and is the highest elected office in the Empire. The Chancellor shares executive power with the Monarch and oversees a cabinet of ministers. The Chancellor has the power to sign or veto any bill that the Imperial Diet passes and declare war on any nation with legislative and imperial approval. The Chancellor also has the power to call for free elections with imperial approval and can overturn an imperial veto with legislative support. Due to the constant need for imperial consent, the Chancellor is considered the second most powerful official in the Empire, behind the Monarch.

The Chancellor is elected every six months by the Austrovian people in a Federal Election. A candidate who wins the majority of the vote becomes Chancellor-Elect until he or she is sworn in by the Monarch. The Chancellor can also appoint a deputy, known as the Deputy Chancellor of Austrovia and ministers for each federal ministry.
