The Chief of Osolia is the head of state of Osolia and leads the executive branch of the Osolian government. The Chief appoints all members of the Chief's Council (confirmed by the Assembly), in addition to serving as the director of any vacant departments in the Council.

The Chief may also issue executive orders in emergency situations, pardon individuals who have committed crimes, and establish cities.

History

Establishment and initial Chiefdom (December 15, 2023 - June 16, 2024)

The Chief position was established alongside the Chiefdom of Osolia itself on December 15, 2023. Michael Webb became the first Chief unanimously as no one opposed him in that special election. From there, Webb went about establishing many initial plans for Osolia and set precedents that have carried into the Chief position today.

For instance, he established the Departments of City Planning, Finance, and later Events, making him, to this day, the only Chief to make multiple new departments in the Chief's Council, and the only Chief to make departments that did not have any previous successors, as, currently, the only new department since Webb's administration has been the Department of Infrastructure, but it is the direct successor to the Department of City Planning, carrying out very similar functions to that previous department.

With this Cabinet, he officially set up the city of Sahosam, making him still the only Chief to establish a city. This allowed him to set precedents like how streets and roads would be formed, later becoming codified in the Streets and Roads Act.

A new Chiefdom for the first time (June 16 - August 16, 2024)

In the June 2024 Osolian general election, TriforceComet defeated incumbent Chief Webb in a stunning landslide victory, making him the second Chief in Osolian history, where he served until August 16, 2024, when Calvin was elected during the August 2024 Osolian general election. TriforceComet publicly stated that he would not be running in that election, marking his tenure as Chief relatively short.

During his term, though, he made a few substantial changes, such as replacing the Department of City Planning with the Department of Infrastructure, overseeing the rapid expansion of the city of Sahosam in areas such as Sahosam Hills, overseeing the construction of a nether highway to connect far off bases together, and personally creating Osolia Hangout Nights per the recommendation of the Engagement Committee, all of which have helped to boost activity on the server.

An unlikely candidate winning unopposed (August 16 - October 16, 2024)

During the August 2024 Osolian general election, former Speaker tz_scion initially planned to run for Chief, but suddenly dropped out. CalvinX entered the race, initially planning on serving as opposition to tz_scion and did not plan on winning. However, he was the only candidate to run and won unopposed.

Near the beginning of his term, on August 19, 2024, Calvin participated as a key member of the Intelligence Committee, a committee formed by Speaker Michael Webb to investigate reports of espionage by the now-former Cieurnish Empire, another online nation that was officially allied with Osolia's predecessor, the Republic of Melonia. The committee concluded that they had "found extensive documentation proving Cieurnia’s long term involvement in espionage against the Chiefdom of Osolia," that the spy involved in helping this operation was not a "willing spy", and recommended actions such as allowing pre-emptive bans from Osolia, which were implemented in the Server Security Amendment.

On August 25, 2024, during the first ever formal Assembly Meeting, Chief Calvin suggested special channels for major Assembly discussions, such as economic reform. This was implemented by Speaker Webb soon after as the #assembly-discussions forum channel, where posts can only be made by the Speaker, and serve as "special channels" of sorts for these discussions.

Calvin pushed for Director of Finance Michael Webb to create an official Business Information Records spreadsheet, which lists every business known to exist in the Chiefdom of Osolia, along with their street address(es), a list of items they sell, and ways to purchase items from that business. This was officially completed and publicly released on September 12, 2024 by Director Webb.

Calvin also became the first Chief since his predecessor, TriforceComet, to utilize the Osolian Public Investment Pool, a pool of money created by the Public Investments Act to spur growth and development throughout Osolia. This was used, mainly with a push from his Director of Infrastructure, Pud, to purchase 660 light blocks by purchasing 64 glowstone from the Inconvenience Store, owned by Governor Flynne and 596 blocks (9 stacks + 20) glowstone from Mineco, owned by tz_scion, for the total price of 1320 DC. This occured on September 24, 2024.

On October 2, 2024, Calvin announced publicly that he would not seek a second term as Chief, stating "I will not be running for Chief this coming term for multiple reasons, but the funniest one is needing an extended break from politics (both virtual and hell that is an American election year)." tz_scion ran in his place and ran unopposed, becoming the 4th Chief of the Chiefdom of Osolia.
