]    Senate may deem appropriate. The Senate may review each
]    governor on a yearly basis and it remains in the
]    discretion of the Senate whether or not to prorogue such

]    following honors, powers, and obligations:
]    1. To hold imperium and have the honor of being preceded

]       in those tasks which advance the mission and function
]       of Nova Roma, solely within the jurisdiction of their

]    3. To manage the day-to-day organization and
]       administration of their provinciae;
]    4. To appoint officers to whom authority may be delegated,
