| The '''Count of the East''' ([[Standard Latin language|Latin]]: ''Comes Orientis'') is the appointed governor of the [[Diocese of the East]], also known as Perateia. The Count is the imperial viceroy and head of the sub-national government in Perateia. As an appointed office, the Count of the East is not responsible to the elected [[Senate of Perateia|Perateian Senate]], but instead the Emperor and central imperial government. | | 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 office of Count was originally established in the eastern Periclean region in the 3rd century CE, maintaining the role of governor over the modern day territories of [[Alanahr]], [[Kocispara]], [[Vardana]], and northern [[Fahran]]. Following the loss, and later abandonment, of the eastern provinces in the 6th century, the last late classical count, [[Tigranes I of Vardana|Aurelius Tigran]], established himself as King over parts of the former Latin holdings centered on [[Leonopolis]], where successive kings continued to claim the title of Count of the East. Use of the office remained dormant in [[Latium]] until 1833, and the [[Lihnidosi Rebellion]], which resulted in Latin control over parts of [[Vardana]], namely [[Leonopolis]] and the surrounding countryside. Since the office was reactivated in 1833, 34 individuals have served, including with 5 future emperors. | | 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. |
| | |
| Today, the Count of the East is the chief magistrate of the [[Diocese of the East]] and serves as the head of government of Perateia and leader of the [[Eastern Council (Perateia)|Eastern Council]]. The count is [[wikipedia:ex offico|ex offico]] the [[#Role|Augustal Prefect of Perateia]], and a member of the Eastern Assembly.
| |
| ==Role== | | ==Role== |
| The Count of the East is the appointed governor of the Diocese of the East and the only such governor to hold the title of Count, in lieu of the traditional vicar; however, the Count is also Augustal Prefect of Perateia, a caesarean province that is coterminous with the Eastern Diocese. As governor, the count is charged with the primarily executive duties in the diocese. These functions include enacting legislation passed by the diocesan assembly, or in some instances issue diocesan edicts. Through these edicts, the count can declare public emergencies within the diocese, temporarily suspend or alter local law, ordinances, etc. | | 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 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. |
| | |
| A unique power held by the count is to grant clemency or issues pardons to individuals that are sentenced under customary Vardanan law; however, this practice rarely takes place. While this clemency power exists, any act of clemency must be countersigned by the emperor. The count is also afforded a role on the Board of Trade, which oversees toll schedules on passage through the Alcaean Straits.
| |
| | |
| The count 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 count is also responsible for submitting a budget to the [[Treasury Board (Latium)|Treasury Board]] and the Assembly. In addition, the count has the power of appointment to appoint local prefects and other local officials. More recently, the Count has convened a Perateian equivalent to the imperial [[Local Council (Latium)|Local Council]]. This action has seen mixed support, as the Assembly asserts that it is a move to circumvent any legislative process. However, it has seen widespread support from communities and local officials throughout the Eastern Diocese.
| |
| | |
| In addition, the Count is the leader of the Perateian Auxiliary Forces, which provide for general policing and internal security, along with support for traditional [[Latin Army|legions]] in defense of the diocese, in event of war or civil unrest. Due to this role as leader of the Auxiliary, many counts come from military backgrounds and, until recently, lacked local ties.
| |
| ===Eastern Council===
| |
| One of the Counts primary roles is as the diocesan head of government, which it maintains by virtue of its role as the presiding officer of the [[Eastern Council (Perateia)|Eastern Council]]. Through the Council, the Count leads and directs the diocesan government and formulates policy. Key members are appointed by the emperor, often on the advice and recommendation of the Count of the East, with all secondary officers appointed by the Count. The Count has the power to dismiss members of the Eastern Council. Along with providing the council with leadership, the count is the chief magistrate of the Military Bureau and acts as the nominal commander in chief of the [[Perateian Auxiliary Forces]].
| |
| ===Eastern Assembly===
| |
| The Count also holds a seat on the Eastern Assembly, and remains one of the few remaining appointed seats on the Assembly. In practice, the Count is the first man of the assembly, a role which he holds in the emperor's physical absence. This role allows the Count to convene and adjourn the assembly, as well as dissolve the assembly for new elections, or even suspend the legislative process in extreme circumstances. The Count also plays a major role in establishing the legislative agenda, and holds many privileges of a presiding officer. The only time that a count was not first man of the assembly was during the junior reign of [[Jason VI Claudius|Emperor Jason VI]], who directly ruled from the Eastern Diocese and controlled its government.
| |
| | |
| ==Amenities and privileges==
| |
| [[File:Topkapı - 01.jpg|thumb|right|[[Leonopolis|Heraion]], the residence of the count of the east]]
| |
| As viceroy, the count is granted many amenities that are traditionally reserved for the emperor. Chief of these is Heraion, which is the primary residence and office of the count of the east. Prior to 1833, Heraion, served as the official residence of the [[Monarchy of Vardana|King of Vardana]], and has since served as the chief imperial residence in Perateia. Eudoikoi<!--Palace of Eudcocia-->, located approximately 2 miles from Heraion, serves as the count's official guest house and secondary residence for the count if needed, most often in the event the emperor or a member of the [[Latin Imperial Family|imperial family]] visits [[Leonopolis]]. Tigrandas is the official county residence of the count, and is located in the province of Simara.
| |
| | |
| It is widely known that the count 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 count is less widely known, and as of 1983, the annual compensation was reportedly {{LAS}}75,000.
| |
| ===Precedence and form of address===
| |
| The count of the east is often considered among the most prestigious counts and political offices in Latium. Holding the office affords an individual the rank of [[Nobility of Latium#Comes system|Second Class Count]], and the style of "The Glorious" (''vir gloriosus''/''gloriosissimus''). An individual holds this distinction for life, even after leaving office.

| | 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 Count 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 throughout the Eastern Diocese. |
