The '''Council of Guardianship of the Imperium''' ([[Caphiric Latin]]: '''''Concilium'' ''Tutelae Imperialis'''''), better known as '''The Council of The Imperium''', and more commonly as '''The Imperium''', is the central executive authority of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]]. It consists of the [[Imperator of Caphiria]], the President of the Council (i.e. the Prime Minister), and the 15 state ministries known as the [[Council of Ministers (Caphiria)|Council of Ministers]]. The Council also has several non-magisterial officials such as deputy ministers (''viceministri''), junior ministers (''sottosegretari''), and more.
The '''Council of Guardianship of the Imperium''' ([[Caphiric Latin]]: '''''Concilium'' ''Tutelae Imperialis''''') represents the central executive authority within the [[Government of Caphiria]]. The Council consists of two principal components: the [[Office of the Imperium]], led by the [[Imperator]] and includes the [[Prime Minister (Caphiria)|Prime Minister]] (who serves as the President of the Council) and a suite of non-magisterial officials tasked with assorted administrative responsibilities; and the [[Council of Ministers]], a collective of ministers appointed by the Imperator upon the Prime Minister's suggestion, forming the operational nucleus of The Imperium's governance framework. Additionally, the Council includes various non-magisterial officials such as deputy ministers (''viceministri''), junior ministers (''sottosegretari''), among others.
 
Under [[Constitution of Caphiria|the Constitution]], the Imperator is the chief executive of the executive branch and leads the Office of the Imperium, the main organ of the executive power. The Imperator governs by way of his ''imperium maius'' (supreme executive power) and delineates authority through the Council's hierarchy, channeling responsibilities through the Prime Minister and the ministers. The Prime Minister's appointment is a ceremonial endorsement by the Imperator following extensive consultations and is ratified by a comprehensive vote spanning [[Corcillum|the Corcillum]], Caphiria's parliament. Subsequently, based on the Prime Minister's nominations, the Council of Ministers is assembled to mirror the government's administrative and policy-oriented objectives.
 
The Council of the Imperium is often contracted to "The Imperium" and is often used metonymically to refer to the entirety of Caphiria's government, not only emphasizing the Council's central executive authority, but also but also reflecting the intricate balance maintained between direct democratic representation, the valor of meritorious service, and the concentrated executive power wielded by the Imperator.


According to the Constitution, the Council is led by the Imperator, who delegates through the President of the Council and ministers. The Imperator appoints the prime minister, and, on his proposal, the ministers form its cabinet. The Council of the Imperium is often contracted to simply "The Imperium" and is often used metonymically to refer to the [[Government of Caphiria]].
