Director of the City
The City of Bäckahällen is led by the Director of the City, an individual appointed by the Prince of Bäckahällen (the Imperial Sovereign) to administer the city and oversee the implementation of government policies. The Office of the Director of the City itself holds very little power, as the Director is required to execute decisions taken by the provincial and national governments and can’t make decisions of their own. The job is however still important as they ensure proper implementation of government policies and that funding goes to the right places.
Aside from these official duties the Director holds many ceremonial responsibilities such as keeping the Keys to the City and heading the Bäckahällen Metropolitan Police Authority (only officially, delegated to the Captain of the Metropolitan Police). In November 2023 inaugural Director Charles Berg attended the first meeting of the Council of State in the place of the yet to be appointed People’s Minister. The position of Director of the City should not be confused with the Office of Imperial Mayor of Bäckahällen, which is the democratically elected official responsible for governing the entire Principality of Bäckahällen.
