Voivodes of Silesia (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

The Voivode of Silesia (Silesian: Ślůnske Wojewůda) is the head of state and head of government of Silesia. Elected by the PARLIAMENT to serve a life-term, he assumes extensive control over the nation, including foreign and military affairs.

Throughout the history of Silesia as an independent state, the Voivode and Ban have variously held differing amounts of control over the nation, and in recent years Bans have asserted themselves as dominant over the domestic sphere.

Title and Style
The official title of the Voivode of Silesia is:

His Noble Grace, Voivode Patryk Waldau, Voivode of Silesia and the Silesian People, Commander of her Armed Forces, and Protector of the Holy Catholic Church in Silesia

His formal style is "His Noble Grace," while his form of personal address is "Your Grace." Each voivode operates his court with different amounts of formality, and therefore the use and importance of these titles vary significantly. Currently, Patryk Waldau operates his court quite liberally and places little importance in these titles.

Powers
