Celera

Celera (founded 16 December 2012) was an Assemblian juror who served in varying judicial positions in 2016 and 2017.

He was a member of the 'first generation' of Assemblians who migrated to the region from its predecessors upon its founding in January 2016, having previously been a member of The Communist Region. Celera was an active member of early regional roleplay on the Regional Message Board. He also created the original flag of the region, which was in place from February 2016 to September 2017.

Celera was elected in the March 2016 general election as the First Justice of the first-ever Supreme Court, the second-ranked position in the judicial branch behind Chief Justice New Prague Workers Republic. Given the suspension of the proposed general election in June, they remained in the position until September of that year, when their lower order of election saw them demoted to Second Justice, the third-ranked position in the 2nd Supreme Court.

After a term of absence from the judiciary, they returned again as First Justice following the March 2017 general election, but were removed by the other members of the General Assembly for inactivity on 15 April. The dismissal became the subject of controversy given new legislation moving the powers of dismissal from the General Assembly into public hands was only one day from passing, and is broadly perceived to have commenced the April Crisis.
