Ministry of State (Urcea): Difference between revisions

The '''Ministry of State''', often informally called the '''Foreign Ministry''' and formally titled '''His Most Christian Majesty's Ministry of State''', is the [[Concilium Purpaidá|Purpaidá]] Ministry that advises the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] and leads the nation in {{wp|foreign policy}} issues, managing its [[Foreign relations of Urcea|foreign relations]]. Equivalent to the {{wp|foreign ministry}} of other countries, the Ministry of State is responsible for the international relations of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], and negotiates treaties and agreements with foreign entities. The State Ministry is not, however, responsible for relations between Urcea and the member states of the [[Levantine Union]], which is under the purview of the [[Ministry of Commerce (Urcea)|Ministry of Commerce]]

The [[Concilium Purpaidá|Purpaidá]] position originated in the 16th century as the King's Secretary for Sarpedon and Crona, naturally evolving to the current Ministry by the end of the 18th century.
