Political Information (I.A.P. High Command)

The IAP High Command had went through many reformations lately. Under a recent vote it was decided that there should no longer be a High Commander. After news was recieved from Plymouth reguarding the downfall of the Empire, it was decided that it was too dangerous to have a single person in power, so the new government was formed. The High Command is now made up of several high ranking people who discuss and debate what needs to be done. There are several votes which take place around the IAP to decide who should be in the High Command. These votes take place once every two years.
