Today in Forsetti, an understated ceremony marked a momentous shift in the Trade Federation. On D99, Viceroy Jansen announced changes to the Federation’s Charter intended to offer greater stability to the Viceroyal Office and make best use of the knowledge and experience of its most senior members. The change established a group called the Inner Circle, a small group of trusted and seasoned technocrats, executives, and civil servants. The Inner Circle provides a clear line of succession for the Viceroy, with each member serving a short, defined term before another member rotates on. Analysts have expressed some concern about the arrangement, but the changes have generally been well-received by pundits and public alike. Today, however, marked the first exchange of power in that cycle as Viceroy Jacob Jansen welcomed Nohv Schiller as the next Viceroy. Viceroy Schiller will serve for no more than six standard months before turning the office over to Vas Felix.
Citizens might be forgiven if they have a sense of deja vu. Viceroy Schiller previously succeeded Jansen on Year 18 Day 68, but served a relatively short term after being sidelined by illness. Now with a clean bill of health, a bold vision, and the support of the Cabinet and Inner Circle, Schiller begins this next term with the health and prosperity of the Federation as his highest priority.
