The Directors

District Directors
District Directors (or more commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as outpost directors, even by the directors themselves) are the governing individuals that constitute the leadership of the NCD. Nominally, there are six directors, each one managing his/her own assigned outpost and its respective district. It is possible for a director to handle two districts under very special circumstances. For some reason, these special circumstances were met when Director-5 was killed in action during the defense of Outpost 5.

A director is designated based on what districts he/she is assigned to. For example, Director-2 handles District 2, Director-3/5 handles Districts 3 and 5, and so on. Additionally, it is strange such that all but two of the directors have yet to actually graduate from high school. Everyone from apart from Director-1 and Director-5 was around 16 years old at the start of the outbreak.

History
Each outpost was formed under the initative of a leader (a special case would be Outpost 2). The original leaders of the five surviving outposts were chosen as the first directors for the newly-formed confederacy. Later on, during the formation of Outpost 6 under the direction of Karlson Kaiser, it had been generally agreed that newly-founded outposts would be appointed an outpost director (not to be confused with district directors) which would be sub-ordinate to an actual district director, which would be voted upon by unanimous vote. Nevertheless, Kaiser got his Director-6 designation because he had rallied together local survivors that hadn't even heard of the NCD to create a heavily-fortified position, soon slowly given better equipment and furnishings by the nearby Director-4.

The Director's Code
As mandated by the Declaration of Unity of 2014, a director lives to serve his/her district. A director lives by a certain code, ratified by all six outposts. The original written document had been lost within the cluttered vaults of Library-2 and Library-1, but luckily, each director was required to memorize the full document. Our interviews with the directors have been sparse thus far, and so we could only provide a partial documentation of The Director's Code. It is as follows: Director-2 has mentioned that he doesn't remember the "DO be awesome" directive being there, but he also quickly dismissed it as "harmless". It is also worth noting that when a new director is sworn in, all the other directors gather around the new director and they each recite The Director's Code once. After this, the new director is expected to have memorized the code in full.
 * NO assassinating each other, remember, this is a Declaration of Unity.
 * NO authoritarianism, we all know it'll just lead to civil war, and this is the Declaration of Unity.
 * NO state-sponsored forced copulation, although yes we need more people, the pace of agricultural development wouldn't be fast enough to support a growing population like that. Shoot all rapists on-sight, by the way.
 * Strictly NO bullshit, a director has none, the people deserve none.
 * DO write down a list of 3 successors, no more, no less, just in case you can't be the director anymore (i.e. you die, you get old, etc.)
 * DO be awesome, the people need an awesome leader to lead humanity to further awesomeness.
 * IF you turn into a dictator, everyone is permitted to shoot you on-sight.
 * IF you neglect your duty as a director, no excuses, you will step down, otherwise varying degrees of force will be used to oust you.
 * IF you die during your term as director, make sure you die in such a way that stories would be told of you (heart attacks are useful for conveying awe-inspiring motivational last words that will be used by people in the future as a quote), otherwise you will violate the DO be awesome directive.
 * BUT WAIT, IF you die during your term as director AND you forgot to list successors, the other directors will unanimously vote on some other director to replace you for a bit. Refer to article II, section 2.1 of the Declaration of Unity.
