The Conshilía Purpháidhe (lit. Purple Council, commonly simply called "the Purpháidhe") is the collective organizing body of His Most Christian Majesty's Government of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea, composed of the Procurator and the Government Ministers, the senior most officials within the Urcean national bureaucracy. The Purpháidhe is considered the Urcean equivalent of a cabinet and, taken together with its subordinate agencies and offices, 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 Purpháidhe is still largely responsible for the day-to-day administration of the affairs of state. The Procurator serves as the official head of the Purpháidhe 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 Purpháidhe 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 Purpháidhe 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".

Structure
While the historic role of the Purpháidhe was that of privy council to the Apostolic King of Urcea, the accretion of its departments and agencies over time necessarily led to the expenditure of funds to support their activities, functionally placing the council under the direction of the Royal Treasury. As First Lord (or Lady) of the Treasury, the Procurator is the head of the Purpháidhe. He or she oversees all ministries in an administrative sense and reports directly to the King. The Procurator convenes all meetings of the Purpháidhe.
Although the Conshilía Purpháidhe has met as a functionally single body for centuries, it exists as an amalgamation of several different legal bodies with the same personnel. The most prominent legal basis is that of Privy Council, while the most prominent functional basis is of the members of the Purpháidhe as Lords of the Treasury. Together, the functions and powers of both bodies give the Purpháidhe significant authority over both Kingdom-wide policy and the expenditure of funds necessary to implement those policies.
Appointments
The members of the Conshilía Purpháidhe are nominated by the Chancellor and Temporary President of the Conshilía Daoni and are almost always also members of the Daoni. The Daoni is responsible for confirming nominees by a majority vote. The members of the Purpháidhe legally serve at the pleasure of the Apostolic King of Urcea, but functionally resign their offices either when the party control of the Daoni changes or when they lose the confidence of the Chancellor and Temporary President. The two popularly elected Censors also sit on the Purpháidhe but typically abstain from its proceedings unless an issue relating to their mandate as public morality regulators is discussed.
Procedure
The members of the Purpháidhe are appointed by the Conshilía Daoni, but 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 Purpháidhe 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 Purpháidhe 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 Purpháidhe 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 Purpháidhe 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.
Salary
Unlike many other Occidental government Cabinets, members of the Purpháidhe receive no salary. Historically it was anticipated that members of the privy council were members of the wealthy landed aristocracy, and consequently no salary was needed to support their activities. In the constitutional period, nearly all members of the Purpháidhe have also been salaried members of the Conshilía Daoni. In the rare cases where a Purpháidhe member is not a Daoni member, they have typically either been independently wealthy or have been assigned a nominal public office or Ministry post aside from their primary position as Minister which will pay a salary equal to the pay afforded to members of the Daoni.
