The Government of Caphiria is organized into three branches (''ramis imperium''), which are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Power is vested by the [[Constitution of Caphiria]] in the Imperator, Corcillum, and Supreme Court, respectively.


The executive power in the government is vested in its entirety through the [[Imperator of Caphiria]]. The Imperator governs by way of his ''imperium maius'' (supreme executive power), his ''auctoritas principis'' (primary legislative authority), and his ''jure divis'' (divine mandate as Pope). As chief executive, the Imperator is head of state and thus head of the [[Ministries of Caphiria]], the trans-parliamentary bodies that administer the functions of the federal government on behalf of the Imperator. He has the ability to appoint and fire ministers, create and dissolve ministries, as well as the responsibility to appoint diplomatic and provincial officials.

The Imperator relies on the [[Office of the Imperium]], the principal executive organ through which his appointed Prime Minister leads. This Office consists of the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the Imperator after consultations and is confirmed by a vote of both houses of the Senate, and all of the Ministers, according to the request of the Prime Minister. These ministries are the ''de facto'' administers of the government of Caphiria, serving the functions of the federal government on behalf of the Imperator. Ultimately though, the powers of the Office of the Imperium rest in the hands of the Imperator until the ministers assume their offices. While the Imperator maintains executive power at the highest level, he delegates power and authority to a ''Praetor'' (governor) to administer the Imperium's 21 provincial-level divisions. The Imperator also serves as military commander-in-chief and chief diplomat, directly presiding over the 13 million active-duty military personnel, 7 million employees within the executive branch, and 4 ministries. While the Imperator possess near limitless executive power, the Senate has the ability to legally oppose most of the Imperator's actions by a super-majority.
