Triumvirate: The Triumvirate of Yellow Guard will be broken down into three divisions; Triumvirate of War, triumvirate of Foreign Affairs, and Triumvirate of Internal Affairs. The Triumvirates hold life time positions unless any members or government believe they are not moving in YG's best interest. 65% of the government and member body must agree to impeach a triumvirate.

Triumvirate of Internal Affairs:

The Triumvirate of Internal Affairs will be head of making sure each nation learns everything the member needs to know from learning the basics of running your nation to being a good, honest member of Yellow Guard.

Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs:

The Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs will be in charge of making sure Yellow Guard is protected and is getting more allies on Planet Bob.

Ministers:

The ministers will be appointed by the alliance body with a 65% approval. The ministers will serve as deputies to the Triumvirates, but there will always be people in these positions.
