In the Guildocracy a governor gets elected every 4 years, and there is a maximum of 2 terms of being governor. The governor’s job is to mediate between the Guild Leaders and to make sure that their decisions benefit everyone.
the Governor does hold some power, if leaders are tied on a decision the governor may vote as a tiebreaker, secondly a governor may veto a decision, the veto is stopped if the majority of guilds vote to proceed with the decision. Thirdly the governor may call a vote upon all relevant guild leaders to make them vote upon a decision of one leader. Lastly the governor may delay a decision, the maximum allowed delay is 30 days.
