Government Structure

The Provisional Government is divided into three tiers. It is structured to reflect the disheveled state of governance in Warlord China. You can see a full chart of this on page 18.

1. The Executive Committee (EC) is the main decision-making body of the Republic. Formed in March 12th 1925, it has the ability to issue directives. All the delegates in The Warlords: China in Crisis belong to this committee.

2. The Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) acts as the Republic’s ceremonial Head of State. With Duan Qirui as Chief Executive, it is a highly unpopular committee. It has the authority to veto EC directives, the ability which can only be used once per committee day (3 in total). They have no control over the EC or the 5 ministries.

3. The 5 Ministries are different sectors of government. In theory, they have total control over its subject offices to implement policies. However, anarchy and chaos had significantly eroded the authority of these government bodies. Ambitious committee members can try to reinstate the power of these ministries.
