Ephors of Sparta

Ephors of Sparta
Ephors is a historically accurate title used to describe the upper government within Sparta. At the time of Sparta's creation, there were four departments that were headed by one Ephor and one Deputy Ephor: Foreign Affairs, Defense, Internal Affairs, and Economy.

On September 20, 2007 the Department of Education was created, thus creating a 5th Ephor. Also on this date, Sparta changed the government system into having two Ephors for each department who were of equal status, as opposed to one Ephor and one Deputy Ephor.

On December 11, 2007 the Deputy Ephor positions were reinstated. A sixth department, Commerce, was created on this date to manage Sparta's affairs in the PEPTO Treaty. This lead to there being six Ephors and six Deputy Ephors for a time.

On February 28, 2008 a strategic reformation of government lead to the Department of Education merging into the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Department of Commerce merging into the Department of Economy. This is the system that is in place today.

Foreign Affairs (Philoxenia)
The Department of Foreign Affairs is the heart of Sparta's diplomatic efforts. Diplomats from Sparta are trained here, and this department also monitors the Embassies and Ambassadors for other Alliances. The current Ephor is Seth Muscarella.
