| The '''Mesazon of Perateia''' ([[wikipedia:Tsakonian language|Perateian]]: Μεσάζων τοῦ Παομανια; Mesάzwn toῦ Paomania) is the [[wikipedia:Viceroy|imperial viceroy]] and de facto head of government of [[Perateia]]. The Mesazon is appointed by the [[Monarchy of Perateia|Perateian emperor]], and serves a term of years provided at the time of appointment, most commonly 4 to 5 years for a single term. The mesazon concurrently serves as Count of the East in [[Latium]].
| |
| | |
| The mesazon serves as the emperor's chief minster, and coordinates and overseas the other ministers of the imperial government. The role of mesazon was expanded in 1964, when the personal union between Perateia and Latium began, as it previously fell into sporadic disuse and limited household administrative roles. It is considered similar in scope of duties and obligations to that of the Latin [[Master of Offices]], however, the Mesazon is also charged with additional quasi-head of state functions to undertake in the emperor's absence.
| |
| ==Selection and appointment==
| |
| While the emperor spends considerable time in Perateia throughout the year, as a result of the emperor's seat being located in [[Castellum]], the mesazon is often appointed from with in the [[Perateian Imperial Family|Imperial family]] or the emperor's extended family.
| |

| |
| ==Role==
| |
| The mesazon is an appointed viceroy serving as the de facto head of government of Perateia and quasi-head of state. He is charged with undertaking the primary executive duties of government in the emperor's absence. These functions include enacting legislation passed by the [[Senate of Perateia|senate]], or in some instances issue edicts or imperial orders. Through these edicts, the mesazon can declare public emergencies within Perateia, temporarily suspend or alter local law, ordinances, etc. Edicts issues by the mesazon must be countersigned by the emperor.
| |
| | |
| A unique power held by the meszaon is to grant clemency or issues pardons to individuals; however, this is a rare self-action by the mesazon and traditionally still come from the emperor himself. While this clemency power exists, any act of clemency granted by the mesazon must be countersigned by the emperor. The mesazon is also afforded a role on the Board of Trade, which oversees toll schedules on passage through the Perseid Straits.
| |
| | |
| The mesazon also holds veto authority over legislation passed by the [[Senate of Perateia|Perateian Senate]]. There is no mechanism for the local senate to overturn a veto other than direct Imperial Petition. The mesazon is also responsible for submitting a budget to the [[Treasury Board (Perateia)|Treasury Board]] and the Senate. In addition, the count has the power of appointment to appoint local prefects and other local officials. More recently, the mesazon has convened a Perateian equivalent to the imperial [[Local Council (Latium)|Local Council]]. This action has seen mixed support, as the senate asserts that it is a move to circumvent any legislative process. However, it has seen widespread support from communities and local officials.
| |
| | |
| In addition, the mesazon holds a key role in the [[Perateian Armed Forces]] and auxiliary forces. Most often, this role results in the mesazon having a military background.
| |
| ===Foreign policy role===
| |
| In addition to its active governing duties, the mesazon plays a role in many ceremonial functions, including X, Y, and Z. He appoints and recalls ambassadors, as well as receiving foreign ambassadors on the emperor's behalf. The mesazon may also represented Perateia abroad; however, the emperor's permission is required for the mesazon to leave Perateia. While not the commander in chief of the armed forces, the mesazon is the functional day-to-day leader of the armed forces, and holds the title of [TBD].
| |
| ==Amenities and privileges==
| |
| [[File:Topkapı - 01.jpg|thumb|right|[[Leonopolis|Heraion]], the residence of the count of the east]]
| |
| As viceroy, the mesazon is granted many amenities that are traditionally reserved for the emperor. Chief among these is use of Heraion as a residence, which is the primary residence and position of court for the [[Monarchy of Perateia|emperor]]. Eudoikoi<!--Palace of Eudcocia-->, located approximately 2 miles from Heraion, serves as the emperor's official guest house and secondary residence for the mesazon if needed, most often in the event the emperor or a member of the [[Latin Imperial Family|imperial family]] visits [[Leonople]]. Botaneiation is the official county residence of the emperor, located in the Kybellion theme, made available for the mesazon during their tenure in office
| |
| | |
| It is widely known that the mesazon is provided an allowance of at least {{LAS}}50,000 per year to cover expenses incurred while in office. However, the most recent release of annual compensation for the mesazon is less widely known, and as of 1983, the annual compensation was reportedly {{LAS}}75,000.
| |
| | |
| Security of the mesazon and his family is provided by the [[Paramonai]] – Perateia's imperial guard corps.

| | The '''Perateian emperor''', formally known as '''Emperor and Autocrat of all the East''', is the autocratic head of state of [[Perateia]]. The reign of [[Leo III Iovanius]] in 485 CE is considered the conventional starting date of Perateia and its distinct imperial line seperate from the [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin emperors]]. Until XXXX the Perateian emperors considered themselves to be the sole, direct legal continuation of the [[Latium|Latin Empire]]. |
