After dismissing the emissary of the Supervisory Corps, Fritz Roni, made a brief appearance at the city hall adjacent to the government office as part of political etiquette. This wasn’t the headquarters of the Galilia Union but rather the administrative center governing the city of Galilianin, and this place was overseen by the Governor of Galilianin.
Fritz served as the Vice President of the Galilia Union. This position was appointed by the President (Consul) and wasn’t obtained through elections. The President (Consul) was elected by representatives from the Union’s cities. One of each city would gather in Galilianin for voting. Since cities vary in size, the weight of votes from each city differed, but it was customary for Galilianin politicians to be chosen unless there were exceptional candidates from elsewhere in the Union. Given Galilianin’s overwhelming size as a core city within the Union, this has become a tradition.
Currently, the elderly Orasem Hatran held dual roles as Governor of Galilianin and President of the Galilia Union. While separate politicians could hold these positions, dual roles were more common. However, due to the excessive workload, practical duties were often handled by the Vice President and Vice Governor, with significant roles played. Handling the duties of Governor of Galilianin currently was Berbeo Hatran, Orasem’s nephew.
Given his position, Fritz acted as the interim representative of the entire Galilia Union, making his role significant compared to the acting Governor. Diplomacy for the nation also fell within Fritz’s jurisdiction, prompting the emissary of the Papal States to meet with him. However, the Governor of Galilianin was not merely a provincial governer. Therefore, when an emissary arrived from the Papal States, it was prudent to report and share information on the message received as a way to handle matters smoothly.
