I would suggest the range to be exactly the sonar range and non-changeable. The reasoning behind this is that, I mean, count how many outposts are in he range of a single outpost usually. Maybe about 6-8. So 2 hires would cancel global effects in that 6-8 outpost range. If it was 60% of range you're decreasing the area by about 64% (0.6*0.6=0.36) which would mean that the range would only include about 2-3 outposts.

Otherwise I like this idea, though I would like to add that I think if a revered elder is present then it should cancel the Chancellor's debuff for the side with the revered elder. Otherwise there would be no way to counter the Chancellor. (If you have assassins they can just move their chancellor since it works over a space) So the cancellation string would be: [Global Effect] < Chancellor < Revered Elder < Revered Elder ( < Martyr ) OR martyr. Since martyr is combat priority 1 and also destroys both sides then that is a fair specialist to end the chain with.

I don't know. Surprise me on what you think the reverend elder would look like as a lawmaker or enforcer- She can look younger
(look at the Smuggles into Tycoon- clearly made a deal with the devil for youth and money in exchange to speed up the inevitable demise of the entire planet by building the Apparatus)

I agree that the radius of the Chancellor should be scaleable, but as with Sentries, some sort of range cap should be implemented, otherwise you can just plant a 3 princess Chancellor and deny everyone global stats.
