A governor is very much like a flag-appointed ambassador for an island. There can only be one governor per island. Some of the governor's jobs are to set tax rates, place buildings and answer questions about what plans the flag has for the island. To become a governor you have to be voted in by a flag controlling an island's royalty and monarch. Upon being appointed governor you will recieve all the bazzar, housing and construction site deeds. Although on large and medium islands the shoppe and inn deeds don't transfer, on outpost islands the governor will receive the single shoppe deed.
Governors have the power to place charms on the island they are governing. Charms is a non-gameplay altering decoration which can be purchased with the help of an oceanmaster for a minimum of 50,000 pieces of eight. Governors also have the ability to let pets roam. When a flag wins a blockade the monarch of the flag is immediately appointed governor.
To construct a building, first the governor has to place and name the building and then a construction site is created. Then the governor needs to stock the construction site with the commodities and provide pay for the jobbers and eventually the bazzar or shoppe is built.
