The Republic of Amberiana Board of Advisors (RABA) is an advisory board to help the president make decisions, and to guarantee the representation of any and every citizen and non-citizen of Amberiana. There is not a term limit to RABA, this is because there may be someone who is extraordinary at their job, and citizens may want to keep them in the position for a long time. A RABA board member can only be removed forcefully if either they are causing harm to people purposefully, or if they are deemed unfit or unable to do their job. There are two departments that do not have to attend meetings. This is due to the confidentiality of the two departments. The departments that are not required to go to meetings are the Technology and Cybersecurity Department of RABA and the RABA Department of Espionage.
History
There is not much history to RABA, but there was a lot of building up to the formation of it.
RABA was preceded by ABSEA (Advisory Board of the Second Empire of Amberiana). ABSEA was an advisory board that was created during the time of the Second Empire of Amberiana. This board was created to help the empress, who is now the president of the republic, Amber I of Amberiana, run the nation. At the time of the collapse of the second empire, the empress was still in the process of creating and refining ABSEA. Most of the rules, regulations, and policies of ABSEA moved onto RABA. However, with not much having been accomplished for ABSEA before the collapse of the empire, there was still much more work to do.
Departments
There are multiple departments of RABA. These being Military, Economy, Health and Safety, National Security, Science, Human and Civil Rights, Technology and Cybersecurity, Foreign Relations, Espionage, and Education.
Each department has 1 head, an advisor. There are two exceptions to this rule, the health and safety department, and the board of education. The health and safety department will get 3 advisors voted in. The board of education is run by governors. If there are not enough people running for the position for 3 advisors to be voted in for the health and safety department, there will be one advisor with multiple titles in the health department. Most advisors will have other advisors under them, who they will select from someone either in their party, or someone who was in the elections for RABA. Once an advisor is voted out of office, the junior officers they put in place will follow unless either the advisor was voted out by the junior advisors, in which case, they will simply be there until the end of the new advisor's term, or they are the junior advisor of a classified department. The junior advisors for classified departments are in place for life after they are put in office. This means that these people must go through an extra lengthy process of selection, needing to be approved by not only the advisor of the branch they'll be working for, but also the president, vice president, and secretary of RABA.
Military Department of RABA
The military department of RABA is lead by the Military Advisor of RABA(MARABA). Under the MARABA is a junior advisor for each department of the military. The junior advisors under the MARABA are as follows: JMAN(Junior Military Advisor of the Navy), JMAA(Junior Military Advisor of the Army), JMAAF(Junior Military Advisor of the Air Force), JMASF(Junior Military Advisor of the Special Forces), and JMASFA(Junior Military Advisor of the SFA). Also under the MARABA is JMAPF, the Junior Military Advisor of the Police Force. Each of these junior advisors will create bills concerning their branch of military, as well as communicate with their fellow JMAs to help with military issues and operations.
The MARABA will sign off on any bills by the JMAs, as well as allocate funding as they see fit. However, if the JMAs feel as though the MARABA is not representing them, or treating their department poorly, they may call for another round of voting to replace the current MARABA. Three of the six JMAs must vote for a replacement for a new vote to take place.

The EARABA will sign off on any bills or taxes that the JEAs implement. They will also decide how much money each branch of RABA gets.

They will enact new laws, remove old laws, and rework current laws, all to ensure the safety and welfare of any and all Amberianans.

Technology and Cybersecurity Department of RABA
The technology and cybersecurity department is led by the Head of Cybersecurity of Amberiana (HCA). Though there are many things that the HCA does, and there are junior advisors under them, everything that the technology and cybersecurity department does is classified. This is to ensure the information does not fall into the hands of the wrong people. This is the second position that has a longer term than one year. This is due to the classified information that whoever is in this department will deal with. Once someone is voted into this position, they are in it for life.
If the HCA dies before the next round of voting for RABA, the position will be held by the president of Amberiana until a new HCA can be voted in.

For one to be in the FRM, they must apply for the position, then they will be interviewed by the HHRA, MARABA, president of Amberiana, and vice president of Amberiana. These will all be separate interviews, and it is to make sure the person interviewing will not be placing the nation in jeopardy with any actions they may want to take with other nations.

Amberianan Board of Education
The Amberianan Board of Education (ABE) is led by the governor of each district. The ABE is the only department that does not have some sort of elections on the national level. This is to prevent the ideals of someone in one district affecting the children of another district. Each member of the ABE must attend each meeting of RABA. Each member of the ABE may choose their own cabinet out of other politicians. These politicians can be politicians on either the national or local level. The ABE do not have any junior advisors, as they simply hire teachers and administration for the different schools in their district.
Each district of Amberiana must have the same curriculum. This is to prevent a lack of education due to legislation being passed by local politicians. However, certain schools may have different curriculums under special circumstances. This can be things like if it is a school that works specifically with special education, if it is a specialty school (i.e. an art school, a technology school, an aviation school, etc.) Under these circumstances, a school like this may open with permission from the national government.
