The chairman decrees a new law calling for mandatory dancing by the citizens to promote good health, co-ordination, harmony, peace and goodwill. From now on, any citizen not found dancing at registered dance classes will practice for their good health, co-ordination and harmory with the crimson guard.
Rumor has it, there are lots of ambassodorial parties with plenty of grog and fine food. Pity Morgan isn't there to host them. It is then followed by searching through the guests' possessions for secret and subversive material when they are too drunk to respond.
Excellent When/If all the governmental positions have been decided, I'll write something for Pravda about our glorious bereaucracy.
Edit: I just did
Another Edit: If you want some more comic strips made by me, click the "Adventures of Og" link in my signature - it's a comic strip I make/made with my friends (I haven't updated it since the beginning of the year, but there are still 80-something comic strips there. I'm "Adam")
Central Continuing Committee (CCC)
The Central Continuing Committee of the People and the Party of the Human Hive is the highest organ of state power. The CCC is ultimately responsible for everything the Hive does. The CCC holds executive and legislative power. The CCC is split into four main bodies, which will be detailed later. The main members of the CCC is the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Commissioner of Foreign Relations, Commissioner of General Security, and Commissioner of Public Safety. The CCC can remove anyone from their position of power (excluding the Chairman), and may dismiss the People’s Advisory Council (PAC).
Chairman – Voltaire
The chairman is the leader of the CCC, and therefore the leader of the People of the Hive. The Chairman exercises legislative power with the CCC. The chairman cannot be removed by any individual or organization (excluding him/herself); until such time as he decides to resign, the chairman is Voltaire (but that’s okay seeing as he is an infinitely capable leader). The chairman appoints and removes members of the CCC, executes supreme state power, declares war, declares martial law, issues titles of honour, issues orders of special pardons, and issues orders of mobilization, ratifies treaties, agreements etc. with foreign powers. The Chairman also nominates all members of the CCC.
Deputy Chairman – Jamski
The deputy chairman acts in place of the chairman when the chairman isn’t able to perform his duties for whatever reason. S/he “assists” the chairman, and may be conferred other powers by the chairman. The deputy chairman is elected by the People’s Advisory Council (PAC) and cannot serve more than 2 consecutive terms.
Commissioner of Foreign Relations – Gnool
The job of the Commissioner of Foreign Relations is actually currently undefined in the constitution, but that will hopefully be amended very soon.
Commissioner of Public Safety – Frankychan
The Commissioner of Public Safety is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout the Human hive. S/he handles matters of treason, counter-revolution, such as disrupting the socialist economy, disruptions to the safety of the public etc.
Commissioner of General Security – Vev
Also currently undefined in the constitution.
Commissar of Counter Intelligence – vacant
Subordinate to the General Security Commission, and undefined in the constitution
Central Military Commission
A semi autonomous commission (but ultimately subordinate to the CCC) that, under the guidance of the People of the Human Hive, directs the Revolutionary Army of the Socialist People of the Human Hive.
Marshal of the Revolutionary Army of the Socialist People of the Human Hive – Rokossovky
Undefined in the constitution
Director of Joint Communications – Octavian X

Director of Military Intelligence – Honghu

People’s Advisory Council (PAC)
The PAC is the Peoples’ voice in the government – it comprises of 5 deputies elected by popular vote. The deputies in turn elect the People’s Ministries. The PAC, as it’s name suggests, is an advisory council and proposes and gives advice to the CCC on numerous issues, including amendments to the constitution, the creation of prefects (think of them as provinces), the creation of new administrative bodies, economic and social policies, the creation of autonomous regions, annul orders that contravene the constitution, if it’s necessary create and appoint members to committees and enact and amend statutes with the exception of those which should be enacted by the Central Continuing Committee, to give you a broad outline. It may have further powers extended to it by the CCC. The People’s Ministries will now be discussed.
Minister of Information – Tassadar
Undefined in the constitution, but it’s somewhat obvious that the Minister of Information is responsible for informing the People about what’s happening, and telling them other important information they need to know.
Editorial Deputy – Jamski
Subordinate to the Ministry of Information. Undefined in the constitution, but is responsible for the publication of Pravda, the newspaper of the Human Hive.
Promoter of Public Morale – Vev, Gnool
Subordinate to the Ministry of Information, undefined in the constitution. (One can guess that the Promoter(s) of Public Morale are responsible for keeping the people happy)
Minister of Scientific Knowledge - Static Universe
Undefined in the constitution, probably responsible for directing state research and technology.
Minister of Social Engineering – vacant
Undefined, but fairly obvious
Minister of Industry & Development – vacant
Undefined
Commissar of Economic Development – Micha
Undefined, subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Development
Commissar of Infrastructure – Micha

Originally posted by Gnool Commissioner of Foreign Relations – vacant (soon to be Gnool)
Comrade Gnool, the CFR is an appointed position, you’re already Commissioner of Foreign Relations. We can’t let this democracy thing get too far now can we, the Chairman still must have some power.
You can only curse me to eternal damnation for so long!
