President

The Republic is led by a president, elected through an electoral college by the High Congress (who is itself elected by popular vote) and confirmed by the Grand Court. The president serves in 5-year terms, with no limit to the number of terms. As of 3071, the current Republic President is Josephina Lovett, who has held the position for 17-years.

Vice President

Unlike most democracies, the Republic was one vice president for every region capital. Currently there are four:

Aconcagua Core - Manhattan - Sebastian Tamar
Wrangel Length - Potsdam - Reinhold Oettinger
Vanua Levu Junction - Valera - Arturo Alvear

If at any time the president is unable to lead, the three vice presidents will lead their administrative zones until such time as the High Congress can elect a new President. No sitting vice president can be nominated or take leadership of the Republic.
