Background
This is an OOC character used for administrator work on the servers.
El Presidente (Spanish for "The President") is the head of the state and autocratic ruler of DayZRP, being the only person able to create new laws, allow the construction of buildings, and issue arrests and execution warrants.
DayZRP government is largely autocratic, with all power held by the Presidente. The community has developed a parliament of five administrators that the Presidente appoints. However, these positions don't debate over, choose, or pass laws themselves so much as they assist the Presidente in passing laws they want enacted.
DayZRP is officially classified as a democracy, but elections - when allowed - are held at varying times and only take place between the current Presidente and a single opposing member of the community. There are apparently some political parties, such as the RP boys and the groovy lads, but they seem to have no effect in elections. However, certain voting groups are very tight-knit and vocal in their demands. There's no term limits on being the Presidente, allowing a very successful leader to remain in power for life.
DayZRP has no laws about staff being natural-born DayZRP citizens; even first-generation immigrants and foreign experts can become administrators or run for the presidency.
Since it's independence, DayZRP has had a written constitution, which is often amended and altered by El Presidente as he sees fit.
Viva El Presidente!
