Executive College
The Federal Executive College (Coscivian: Rektārkax Vekturxóstrev), known informally as the "Federal Cabinet" (Rektārkax Xudra), is the highest body of the executive branch of the Government of the Kiravian Federacy. Appointed and led by the Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy, the Executive College acts as the organisational conduit through which the administration directs the professional federal bureaucracy, implements its policy objectives, and formulates inter-agency responses to national issues.

As the Kiravian federal government is a fully presidential system, the Executive College is not independent of the Prime Executive (all of its members are appointed and dismissible by the PE), and only exercises a few reserve powers of its own (see below). This contrasts with the executive colleges (and analogous bodies) of many Kiravian states and territories, which exercise substantial power as collegial institutions and may also have some degree of independence from the Chief Executive/Governor. As such, nearly all cabinet votes are advisory in nature (so that the PE may gauge support for a measure among his administration) or relate to internal business. Practicality, convention, and custom underpin the importance and political role of the Executive College more than constitutional authority, and its manner of business has evolved under different administrations.

Titles
The early Executive College did not resemble most modern cabinets in that its portfolios were not necessarily tied to a particular policy area (e.g. defence, finance). Rather, the first few Prime Executives of the Federal Period appointed individuals they trusted to the Executive College and assigned responsibility for subordinate agencies more or less arbitrarily. Slightly later on, there developed a custom of assigning Chief Executives responsibility for certain buildings in Kartika, and which Chief Executive a particular agency reported to was a function of where its offices were located. As the bureaucracy grew and developed, there...
