Difference between revisions of "Commissioner of the Treasury"

The [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] is the financial institution which bears the responsibility for the legal tender status of all money issued by Westarctica. It has been traditionally managed by the [[Minister of the Treasury]].  However, when the nation stopped minting [[Coins of Westarctica|metal coins]] in 2013, and as Westarctica had no "finances" per se, there was no longer a need for a Treasury department and the rights and duties of this department returned to the Grand Duke.

The 2012 [[Charter of Westarctica]] specifically authorizes the Grand Duke to appoint Commissioners who are responsible for heading organizations in the government that are below the level of a Ministry and that report directly to the Crown, not to the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] (should there one day be a Prime Minister in office).
