Revision as of 08:39, 8 June 2020
The President of Wiltshire, officially the President of the Wiltshire Republic (German: Präsident der Wiltshire Republik) is the executive head of state of Wiltshire in the Fourth Wiltshire Republic. The President is the highest ranking civilian political and military office in the country, being the Commander in Chief of all armed forces.
The office of President was only created in 3020 when Gaius Selan formed the Government-in-Exile to oppose the New Corporate Republic's occupation of Wiltshire. However, following independence, this role transformed into the elected office we see today. The powers are wide ranging, including the appointment of the Prime Minister, the opening of the Assembly and command of the military.
The current, and first, President of Wiltshire is Gaius Selan who has served since his election in 3020.
