| The
| | #REDIRECT [[Imperial Advisory Council]] |
| position of '''Imperial Advisor''' was created in the Summer of 2004 by
| |
| [[Kaiser Raynor XI]]. The position was created so that [[the Kaiser]]
| |
| could get unbiased advice and help from some of the senior-most
| |
| citizens in the nation.
| |
| Raynor's original plan was to put three people on the Council - a "yes
| |
| man" a "maybe man" and a "no man". The yes man would be someone who
| |
| tended to share the Kaiser's opinions, the no man would be someone who
| |
| tended to disagree with the Kaiser, and the maybe man would be someone
| |
| who was often neutral. Few Kaisers have chosen to follow his example.
| |
| == The Advisory Council ==
| |
| The Imperial Advisors meet in secret with the Kaiser and sometimes the
| |
| [[Steward]] on the '''Imperial Advisory Council'''. In this secret
| |
| council, the Kaiser may ask for the guidance of the advisors, or the
| |
| advisors may make suggestions to the Kaiser without his asking.
| |
| Since its creation, the Council has been heavily used by Kaisers. There
| |
| is no voting in the Council, and it holds no formal power in the
| |
| Imperial government.
| |
| The current Imperial Advisory Council consists of [[Gryphon Avocatio]],
| |
| [[James Raine]], [[Joseph Strong]], and [[Shyriath Bukolos]].
| |
| == Selection of the Advisors ==
| |
| As the job of the Advisors is to help the Kaiser govern the nation, a
| |
| good amount of experience is a prerequisite for the job of Advisor.
| |
| Typically, advisors have been citizens of Shireroth for years, and many
| |
| have been former Kaisers themselves.
| |
| The idea behind selection is that the Kaiser ought to pick three
| |
| advisors to serve him: one who shares his ideals, one who opposes his
| |
| views, and one who is more or less neutral towards them. This
| |
| theoretically allows the Kaiser to get a general overview of the
| |
| spectrum of thought in the nation.
