tz_scion, sometimes referred to as simply Scion, is a former Chief, former Speaker and former Director of City Planning of the Chiefdom of Osolia. Scion is also the owner of MineCo.

Scion is one of the co-founders of the Chiefdom as he was one of the participants in a voice chat with Michael Webb and cstro about the future of its predecessor, the Republic of Melonia. Scion is a very prominent citizen, being the Speaker from the server's inception until August 16, 2024, when he decided not to seek another term as Speaker or in any other government position during that election.

Since his term as Speaker, Scion has remained as active as ever within the Osolian community, particularly in the political scene. He has written two new laws since his Speakership; the Server Security Amendment and the Public Investments Broadening Act. In addition to this, he has advocated for economic reforms such as the abolition of the Diamond Cent and the institution of gigs.

Tenure as Speaker (December 15, 2023 - August 16, 2024)

The Speaker position was created alongside the Chiefdom of Osolia itself on December 15, 2023. tz_scion was elected unopposed to become the first Speaker, and he has enacted numerous decisions that were previously vague in the Constitution, setting important precedent.

For instance, the first, and arguably the most important, thing he did as Speaker was write a majority of and lobby for the passage of the official Constitution of the Chiefdom of Osolia, which establishes how the general government system operates. This standardized many Assembly procedures, such as a minimum 24 hour voting period for bills and measures.

He also ran the first election in Osolian history, establishing precedent such as keeping candidacy open all the way until election day and guiding everyone through the first election to use the my.osolia online voting system, the June 2024 Osolian general election.

He also was the first elected official to utilize the Constitution's power to assign an "acting" person in place of himself when a short-term personal issue affected him on June 27, 2024. He chose Michael Webb, the first and former Chief of Osolia, due to his long-term experience in Osolian politics. Speaker Scion set a precedent in this by giving a time when he would re-establish control over the Speaker role, instead of simply taking it back immediately upon becoming available again as is described in the Constitution. He would again use this acting person power on July 13, 2024, this time for multiple days due to power outage issues. He took back the Speaker position on July 17, 2024.

Speaker Scion was also the first Speaker to establish a committee as per the Constitution; the Engagement Committee. The Engagement Committee is dedicated to finding and proposing policies to make it more appealing to regularly log into the Osolian Minecraft server. They are still actively working on new methods to engage citizenry, such as employing occasional Osolian Hangout Nights to encourage a large group of citizens to come online at the same time and invoke a sense of community. Speaker Scion also currently serves as the chair of the Engagement Committee.

Speaker Scion decided not to run for re-election during the August 2024 Osolian general election, at first due to running for Chief instead, but later dropping out from Osolian politics entirely, at least temporarily. He held the Speaker position until a new Speaker was elected to replace him on August 16, 2024. This marked the first time since Osolia's founding 7 months prior that a Speaker other than tz_scion would be elected.
