Just to give you an idea of how low level of government a marauder is.
I challenged for a vacant marauder position in finance on my 6th day in the alliance. Admittedly I have had vast experience in the econ side of things and at that time i was hyper active. However, I have no real power as a marauder. I can make plans, and can implement some things econ wise, but I must follow the goals as handed down from above, I do not create the goals or lead the alliance in any directions finance wise.
