The Officer-General of Alsann, more commonly referred to as the Officer-General, is the unelected head of state in the Alsann Republic. The Officer-General post was established by the Alsann Proclamation on 8 September 2022, to which Kalan Cameron del Kersika, current Officer-General, was immediately appointed. It is passed down by appointment of successors, and it is generally understood that the Officer-General will act at the behest of the people. Officer-Generals are also permitted to take on nominal styles for the duration of their role.

History

The role of Officer-General was created on 8 September 2022 by the founders of Alsann. Kalan Cameron del Kersika was quickly appointed to the role, and began the underlying customs of the Officer-General. By 23 September, the Officer-General role also encompassed the Commander of Kersika role, as well as Commander of any military branch which did not have a suitable candidate for the role. Officer-General del Kersika issued his first executive order on 28 September, fully enforcing the Alsann Proclamation. It was then by executive order that he built up much of Alsann's culture and legal precedents.

Roles and power

The role of Officer-General is intended to be primarily ceremonial, however the leader does still wield substantial power. The Officer-General has the capacity to issue executive orders, however they can be overridden by the Alsane Federal Council.

Customs

There are multiple customs which are typically taken by the Officer-General. Whilst the appointment of successors is a large part of the Officer-General role, it is often frowned on to appoint people close to the Officer-General. It is generally expected a particularly bright politician or military officer will be appointed to the role. It is also common for the Officer-General to incorporate their hometown into their nominal title. For example, the current Officer-General, Kalan Cameron del Kersika, resides in his hometown of Kersika. If former Premier Ozren C was to become Officer-General, he may be known as Officer-General de Austeria.
