The Magistrix is the elected ruler of the Magistracy of Canopus. Technically the position is open to any woman within the Magistracy, but by dint of their popularity House Centrella has dominated the role since the nation's founding. Once elected, Magestrix serve until death or incapacitation, and while they cannot designate a successor they can let it be known whom they would prefer succeed them.[1][2] The Magistrix traditionally rules and maintains her Royal Court on the capitol world of Canopus IV, along with the rest of the Canopian government.[3]

The Magistrix is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Magistracy Armed Forces, and has near-absolute control of both foreign and domestic policy for the Magistracy. While possessing tremendous autocratic powers, their rule is tempered by the Magistracy's democratic institutions and cultural traditions. A new Magistrix must first win the nomination of the Canopian Electors before being presented to the Central Committee for a final vote; if they do not win two-thirds of the Committee's vote, a new Magistrix must be nominated by the Electors. Once in office, the Central Committee has the power of reviewing all legislation proposed by the Magistrix and vetoing any which does not garner a two-thirds majority of support. The Magistrix can likewise veto legislation passed by the Central Committee, and with each side having differing goals the two frequently butt heads..[1][2]

The Magistrix is also obligated under the Canopian Constitution to "promote the general welfare of the Canopian people." Given the nation's history of strongly promoting personal freedoms and liberty, the best way of meeting this obligation has traditionally meant ensuring the government stayed out of people's way and let them live their lives as they saw fit. Should a Magistrix attempt to start legislate something as personal as morals or religion, they would quickly find themselves out of a job.[4]
