Offices in Velikoslavia

Velikoslavia is a constitutional monarchy goveorned by the Tsar of Velikoslavia, the Synod, and elements of the aristocracy. The offices of government are divided into seven primary categories, which all hold responsibilities over various aspects of the bureaucracy. There are multiple types of offices, some elected and some appointed.

Court offices

Court offices are considered, via tradition, to be the highest ranking offices in the land. In practice however, this is no longer relevant as lower government offices handle almost all responsibilities of government outside of the palace, with the obvious exception being the Tsar of Velikoslavia who still holds supreme executive power in government. There are different types of court officials; honorary titles, those who serve the Tsar and the lords directly, and those who manage the day-to-day affairs of running the court.

As of 1942, the court gained its own separate budget with the levy of the Court Tax. The tax funds the day-to-day operations of court and pays all of its expenses and the money is carefully overseen by officials appointed to do so. As with any other institution of government, it is ran on a preapproved yearly budget which requires approval from multiple officials to go over.

As of 1943, all court officials are granted a wage based on the Prime Table of Governance, which dictates the wages that each court employee is paid. Individual wages may vary, however, as certain positions are eligible for bonuses and other incentives, paid out on performance based merit. Court offices during the height of the Velikoslav Empire were large in number and unwieldy, with pay often depending on who the individual holder was related to or what rank they held. This created a chaotic situation that took many years to be rectified.
