Urbis City is the capital and one of the oldest cities in the Republic of Faru. It's situated inland, on an island in the middle of an oxbow lake formed from the river Flumen. As the capital it is the country's most significant centre for politics, finance and culture, alongside being the seat of Capital Metro Area, a metropolitan region made up of Urbis City, Providence, Kickassia and Liberty City.
Mayor
The Mayor of Urbis City is one of the most prestigious posts that exist outside the Central Government, with many high profile Faruns taking up the post.
The Mayor in the past was a figure of unilateral power, often dictating laws, regulations and keeping office for as long as they seemed fit. However, after the influential mayor of the city, Kino Volchok, was elected, a proper charter was passed by the UA clearly defining the Mayor and UA's authority. (See The Kinocracy)
Here is a list of all mayors of Urbis City, past and present.
Urban Assembly
The Urban Assembly is the sole legislative body of the city, it usually meets on Forum Hill. It has a speaker (typically the mayor), and a quorum of 50% of Urbis's population. It makes decisions via a standing vote, with only a simple majority being required for passing any sort of motion.
