   If you are elected president, you shall be the leader of the nation, but you shall have limited power, as Niwic is mainly governed by the people.  You shall be in charge of assembling the items on the agenda of the parliamentary meetings.  At the meeting, you will read and explain every item on the agenda, then every governor will vote on it. You are to abide by the law presented by the constitution.  You may run for reelection only 3 times in a row. Before elections, you shall be in charge of creating ballots, and making copies of them to send to each province. All citizens who desire to run in an election shall have to let you know before November 28th.  Once every person in Niwic has cast their ballots, the governors shall collect the ballots of their home provinces, and send them to the capital. You shall then count the votes fairly and send the results to the newspapers of Niwic. If you fails to count them fairly, you shall lose your citizenship. All directors (ones in charge of the various departments) will be appointed by you. When you come into power, you can either appoint new directors, or keep the current directors. The city in which you live will become the capital of Niwic. Any citizen of Niwic that is eligible to vote may run for election as a president.  The current President is Benjamin Bruce of Benjaland.

Offices of the Governors

     If you are a governor of a province that only has one resident, there will be no election.  Right now, the only provinces that might have elections are Benjaland and Daddyland.  The governor shall be in charge of the provincial system of government in his home province and shall also represent the people of his province in the national parliament. The people of Niwic are expected to communicate with their governor and inform them of what they would like them to do in the government, for Niwic is a democratic republic, governed by the people. The governor in turn shall be expected to vote as the majority of his people would have him vote. Every month the national parliament shall meet. The parliament shall consist of each provincial governor, and the president.  Items to vote on can be suggested by the president, one of the governors, or a citizen of Niwic. At the meeting, every item will be read and explained by the president, then every governor will vote on it. If a governor is not present at the meeting, the agenda will be sent to him so that he can vote on each of the items. He will have a 2-week time span to vote in.  All citizens of Niwic, even the president and the governors, are to abide by the law presented by this constitution, and no law shall be passed in contrary to this constitution. Any citizen of Niwic that is eligible to vote may run for election as a governor. Governors may run for reelection as many times as they want, as some provinces only have one resident.

    The offices of the governors shall be elected provincially, and only the people of each province shall be able to vote for the governor of their province. All citizens who desire to run in an election shall have to let the president know before November 28th.  Once every person in Niwic has cast their ballots, the governors shall collect the ballots of their home provinces, and send them to the capital. The president shall then count the votes fairly and send the results to the newspapers of Niwic. If the President fails to count them fairly, he shall lose his citizenship.  All citizens of Niwic shall be eligible to vote.  Each Governor is paid ₤5 every time a full moon appears in the sky.
