Editing Government in MedHammer 40,000 (section)

==The Government of Terra==
The Government of Terra governs the affairs of the entire Imperium, checked by the Regency Council. This is where the majority of the human government is held. The Government is a mixed oligarchy, with most representatives selected based on their own internal processes.

Positions:
====Merchant Admiral====
Speaker for the interest of the Rogue Traders and other merchants

====Lord of The Void====
All military ships are under the governorship of The Grand Admiral. The only ships that do not fall under this lords jurisdiction are those belonging to the Rogue Traders.

====Subordinate Branches====
;Lord Commodore Solar
:Commander of the Sol Protection Fleet. In addition to protecting the Sol System from pirates and being the first line of defense against invasions, the Lord Commodore also regulates customs passing through Segmentum Solar.

;Lord Commodore Segmenti
:Each Segmentum has its own small force of guard fleets.

;Grand Admiral of The Fleets
:Does most of the work coordinating the naval vessals of The Imperium.

;Lord Quartermaster
:In addition to ensuring all naval ships are stocked and properly requisitioned, he also is responsible for the procurement of new vessals.

;Lord Bursar Legiones
:Following the devastation wrought by Traitor legions using their navies, particularly the desolation of Ultramar, Chemos, and Deliverance. It was decided at the council of Terra that all legions would be required to sign over their ships to the High Lords of Terra. Every ship used by the Legione Astartes is "on loan" from The Lord Bursar, who supplies the ships with crews and provisions.

;Rear Admiral of The Auxilliries
:Coordinates the tributed fleets by the Imperium's Segmentums.
;:Fleets under Grand Admiral of The Auxillaries
::In exchange for their greater Autonomy from Imperial Affairs, every "Socii" is expected to provide a significant tithe of ships and crews for the Imperium's navies. The size of the fleet demanded is determined by a Terran led census of their Allied nation's forge world and industry capacity.

;::McCragge Memorial Fleet
::Tithe of ships and elite crews provided by Royum Ultramar

;::Kroot Sphereships
::The Kroot Nation's mysterious Sphereships are required to tithe years of service to the Rear Admiral.

====Lord Administratus====
Head of The Imperium's vast bureaucracy.

=====Subordinate offices=====
;Lord Censor
:The Imperium's autonomous vassals operate under different laws of tribute as the rest of the Imperium. As such, it falls upon The Lord Censor to inspect the Vassals of The Imperium and ensure they provide tithes of wealth, goods, ships and soldiers appropriate to their capacity.
;Lord Numismator
:Responsible for the keeping of the imperial currency.
;Lord Bursar
:In addition to its tithes, a major source of the Terran government's income is through interest from Loans provided to the various governors, ecclesiarchs, nobility, generals, and rogue traders.
:This office is not to be confused with Lord Bursar Navis, who governs the ships used by the Legiones Astartes.
;Lord Publicani
:The Lord Publicani is responsible for procuring the tithes provided by the planets throughout the Imperium.
:*There is a joke in the Imperial court that a good indicator for the financial health of the imperium is to see who has the thicker waistline: Lord Publicani or Lord Bursar.

====Tribune of The Faithful====
The Tribune of The Faithful represents the interests of the various [[Religion_in_midhammer |religious organizations]] throughout the Imperium. They and the Tribune of The Antiquitae work to prevent the persecution of their Faiths.

Additionally, the Tribune of the Antiquitae also serves as the Protector as Terra's Ancient Culture, and conservationists.  As an Extraordinary Tribune, the Tribune has additional privilege of introducing motions and amendments into the Council. Their vetos and amendments to protect historical artifacts have caused considerable headaches for Fulgrim and his terraforming efforts.

====Tribune of The Abnormal====

The Tribune of The Abnormal looks after all of the Mutant subspecies of the Human Race. The tribune implores the Council to look after humanity's wayward mutant children rather than appeal to more eugenics-minded urges.

The Tribune of The Primitives looks after the Primitive and Feudal worlds of The Imperium, ensuring they are protected and that their low technological status does not see them unduly harassed.
