Leadership

The elected leader of a County is a Count, or the feminine Countess. Other offices that may or may not be filled due to the needs of the park are Regent, Prime Minister or Chancellor and Champion. Most of these offices are exclusively voted on, though many corporas require that a champion be chosen by Right of Arms.
