When the population of a fortress reaches 50, the Expedition leader becomes the Mayor.
After a period of time, the fortress's dwarves may elect a new Mayor, who will demand the rooms accordingly. The former Mayor will revert to the job they had previously and will no longer require those rooms. Becoming Mayor gives a happy thought.
The Mayor will listen to complaints of the other dwarves - this will give the complainer a happy thought, while giving the mayor an unhappy one.
The amount of friends a dwarf has may be the main factor in his election to the office of Mayor. It is still possible for a dwarf with no social skills to be elected over a dwarf who has them.
A mayor will sometimes makes mandates, which includes banning exports or producing certain goods. If a new mayor is elected when a mandate is in effect, the mandate will end, but no dwarves will be punished for not meeting it.
