The '''Concilium Purpaidá''' (lit. ''Purple Council'', commonly simply called "'''the Purpaidá'''") is the collective organizing body of [[Apostolic King of Urcea|His Majesty]]'s Government of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], composed of the [[Procurator]] and some 9 Lord Ministers, the senior most officials within the Urcean national bureaucracy aside from the King himself. The Cabinet is the secondary decision-making body of the executive within the [[Procuratorial Monarchy|Procuratorial]] system of government in traditional constitutional theory, and in practice manages the day-to-day affairs of the [[Urcea|Kingdom]] while the King himself, through the [[Procurator]] oversees all Ministries and manages their direction in pursuit of a certain policy agenda set by the Throne. Critically, the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|King]], who may approve budgets in his own right, has delegated the authority to the Purpaidá to vote to approve the Royal Budget proposed by the Procurator. The budget, which is proposed by the Procurator with guidance from the King, is due on the 1st of April each year in line with the beginning of the Fiscal Year.
The '''Concilium Purpaidá''' (lit. ''Purple Council'', commonly simply called "'''the Purpaidá'''") is the collective organizing body of [[Apostolic King of Urcea|His Majesty]]'s Government of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], composed of the [[Procurator]] and nine Ministers, the senior most officials within the Urcean national bureaucracy. The Purpaidá is considered the ''de jure'' {{wp|executive branch}} of the [[Government of Urcea]] and is responsible for executing [[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State|the Kingdom's laws]] and managing the public projects of the Kingdom. While most executive authority is exercised by the [[Procurator]], the Purpaidá is still largely responsible for the day-to-day administration of the affairs of state. The Procurator serves as the official head of the Purpaidá and is responsible for issuing "''Treasury Orders''" to its members, which are official directives related to the execution of the laws and administration of affairs of state.


The Purpaidá serves as the Royal {{wp|Privy Council}} of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic King]] and his household, informing the King of the affairs of state and offering opinions as to how to best implement his will. It is within this capacity that the Purpaidá originated and received its name; members of the Privy Council often wore purple (as a color of royalty) cockades to distinguish themselves at court and around [[Urceopolis]] as well as while executing authority on behalf of the King or making public appearances; the distinguishing cockade became well known and eventually the body became known by its present name, literally meaning the "Purple Council".

It is within this capacity that the Purpaidá originated and received its name; members of the Privy Council often wore purple (as a color of royalty) cockades to distinguish themselves at court and around [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] as well as while executing authority on behalf of the King or making public appearances; the distinguishing cockade became well known and eventually the body became known by its present name, literally meaning the "Purple Council".


The Concilium Purpaidá is unique insofar as it is a {{wp|non-partisan}} body, with its members selected by the King as an endorsement of the individual's views on a certain issue being in line with the King's, rather than a party's platform. Keeping with the Monarchy's status as above {{wp|partisan politics}}, the King will often select a Purpaidá consisting of a broad range of political beliefs and affiliations, which is celebrated as symbolizing both the unity of a politically diverse country as well as the pragmatic sophistication of the Monarch.
The members of the Concilium Purpaidá are nominated by the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]] of the [[Concilium Daoni]] and are almost always also members of the Daoni. Although they are appointed by the Daoni, they are nominally responsible to the [[Procurator]] as head of the Privy Council and Royal Treasury. Consequently, members of the Daoni require the ''imprimatur'' of the Procurator in order to issue a binding decree or regulations considered to be major in scope. If the Procurator refuses to issue one and issues a Treasury Order contrary to the Purpaidá minister's direction, the ministers can appeal to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], who has three options on how to respond: he can issue a "Writ of Compliance", ordering the Purpaidá member to follow the Procurator's direction; he can issue a "Writ of Correction", in which the Procurator must withdraw his Treasury Order, allowing the Purpaidá member to proceed on their own proposed course of action submitted to the King; or, the King can issue a "Writ of Dismissal", in which neither the Purpaidá member's proposal nor the policy designed by the Procurator may be followed and that an entirely new policy must be jointly devised by both the Minister and Procurator.

The Procurator (Steward) is the head of the Purpaidá and the "right hand" of the Apostolic King. He oversees all ministries and reports directly to the King. The Procurator holds all meetings of the Purpaidá. Upon the election of a minor, or during an interregnum, the incumbent Procurator is to serve as Lord {{wp|Regent}} of the Realm. The Procurator is also the First Lord of the Treasury and is directly responsible for the realm's finances, and in this capacity is ex officio presiding officer of the [[Concilium Daoni|Common Council]], though in the interests of popular representation the Procurator has often allowed the election of a Temporary President of that body. The Procurator is considered to be the second most powerful individual in the Kingdom, and is considered to be the {{wp|Head of Government}} in terms of comparative political science.

Urcea has no statutory "{{wp|supreme court}}" though the Archducal Court, which is technically equal to the highest courts of the other provinces and Royal holds, has universal jurisdiction and universal right of appeal by special writ of the King, who usually grants such writs upon request of the Archjustice. This is because, in theory, the King may rule on cases in his own right, but retains the right to delegate his judicial decisions to whomever he pleases. The [[Apostolic King of Urcea|King]], by legal precedent, no longer directly rules on cases, and has not done so since the 17th century.

The Ministry of Justice also oversees the Urcean Chapter of the Imperial Inquisition, which is not only responsible for the coordination of the Inquisition in the Kingdom, but has also assumed, primarily, the role of informal ambassador between the King and the Emperor as well as the Kingdom and the other states of the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Empire]]; these relationships do not fall under the purview of the [[Ministry of State]]. In practice, the Inquisition has few inquisitorial responsibilities in the 21st century, but works closely with law enforcement to help root out religious-based sedition within the Kingdom. The Inquisition also serves as the de facto organizing body under which other normal law enforcement agencies are coordinated, and has grown to provide services to the government that are known elsewhere as "homeland security", working closely with the Office for Disaster Relief and Preparedness, also under the Ministry of Justice. The Inquisition and Ministry as a whole has recently come into prominence in [[Sundlanda]] after the conclusion of the [[Urcean Bush War]] in an effort to discover and deport insurgents to the [[Tromarine]] {{wp|penal colony|penal colonies}}.

The Concilium Purpaidá (lit. Purple Council, commonly simply called "the Purpaidá") is the collective organizing body of His Majesty's Government of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea, composed of the Procurator and nine Ministers, the senior most officials within the Urcean national bureaucracy. The Purpaidá is considered the de jure executive branch of the Government of Urcea and is responsible for executing the Kingdom's laws and managing the public projects of the Kingdom. While most executive authority is exercised by the Procurator, the Purpaidá is still largely responsible for the day-to-day administration of the affairs of state. The Procurator serves as the official head of the Purpaidá and is responsible for issuing "Treasury Orders" to its members, which are official directives related to the execution of the laws and administration of affairs of state.

The Purpaidá serves as the Royal Privy Council of the Apostolic King and his household, informing the King of the affairs of state. It is within this capacity that the Purpaidá originated and received its name; members of the Privy Council often wore purple (as a color of royalty) cockades to distinguish themselves at court and around Urceopolis as well as while executing authority on behalf of the King or making public appearances; the distinguishing cockade became well known and eventually the body became known by its present name, literally meaning the "Purple Council".

The members of the Concilium Purpaidá are nominated by the Chancellor and Temporary President of the Concilium Daoni and are almost always also members of the Daoni. Although they are appointed by the Daoni, they are nominally responsible to the Procurator as head of the Privy Council and Royal Treasury. Consequently, members of the Daoni require the imprimatur of the Procurator in order to issue a binding decree or regulations considered to be major in scope. If the Procurator refuses to issue one and issues a Treasury Order contrary to the Purpaidá minister's direction, the ministers can appeal to the Apostolic King of Urcea, who has three options on how to respond: he can issue a "Writ of Compliance", ordering the Purpaidá member to follow the Procurator's direction; he can issue a "Writ of Correction", in which the Procurator must withdraw his Treasury Order, allowing the Purpaidá member to proceed on their own proposed course of action submitted to the King; or, the King can issue a "Writ of Dismissal", in which neither the Purpaidá member's proposal nor the policy designed by the Procurator may be followed and that an entirely new policy must be jointly devised by both the Minister and Procurator.
