The Parliament is comprised of Members of Parliaments organized into two major groups: the party of majority, which forms the basis of the government, cabinet, and nominates a Prime Minister, and the official opposition, which is the party with the second most elected candidates. | The Parliament is comprised of Members of Parliaments organized into two major groups: the party of majority, which forms the basis of the government, cabinet, and nominates a Prime Minister, and the official opposition, which is the party with the second most elected candidates. | ||

The Prime Minister of Arcerion is an official selected from the party of the majority, or the party with the most elected seats in the Confederate Parliament. The Prime Minister serves as the Head of Government, as the Head of State is still a vested power within the Crown-in-Absentia. The Prime Minister governs Arcerion as its federal executive, outlining national foreign policy strategies, military deployments, budgetary limits, and working with Lieutenant-Governors on domestic policy for each of Arcerion's Governorates. | The Prime Minister of Arcerion is an official selected from the party of the majority, or the party with the most elected seats in the Confederate Parliament.

The Prime Minister is selected by their party during the electoral process, and is usually a senior political figure or bureaucrat. The Prime Minister must be an elected official and member of parliament. The Prime Minister is confirmed via the Arcer Senate, which accepts the nomination and ratifies it via a simple majority. Should a Prime Minister fail to be ratified, the party of the majority nominates a successive list of candidates. | The Prime Minister is selected by their party during the electoral process, and is usually a senior political figure or bureaucrat.

==== Cabinet ==== | |||
The Arcer Cabinet is made up of elected Members of Parliament who serve in their positions as federal Ministers, overseeing portfolios that include different ministries, departments, and offices. The Cabinet members serve an indefinite term that does not exceed their term limit (4-5 years), and it is not unusual for Prime Ministers to make substitutions or changes to Cabinet personnel during their tenure. Politically, the most important positions are the Minister of Defence, Minister of Finance, Foreign Secretary, Minister of the Interior, and the the Deputy Ministers. | |||
The Deputy Ministers are nominally members of cabinet, but serve primarily as close aides and support members to the Prime Minister. In the event a Prime Minister resigns, dies, or is otherwise indisposed, the three deputy ministers form the line of succession for a temporary continuation of the Arcer government until the party of the majority can nominate a new successor to be approved by the Arcer Senate. Deputy Ministers in turn manage a grouping of Cabinet ministers, and while the Prime Minister sets their agenda and policy to be pursued, the Deputy Ministers help with day-to-day coordination in line with federal direction and mandates. | |||
==== Senate ==== | ==== Senate ==== | ||
The Arcer Senate was established in the 20th century after the Ardmori Civil War, to represent the continuation of Ardmori Crown Regency. Senators are appointed via a 2/3rds majority vote of the Confederate Parliament, and serve for a lifetime term or until they resign. The head of the senate retains the historical title of Crown-Governor of Arcerion, and while nominally the Head of State, is only acting in the interim due to the dissolution of the Ardmori Crown. The Senate's primary function is the ratification of Arcer legislation, constitutional revisions, and confirmation of Prime Ministerial and Cabinet nominees. | The Arcer Senate was established in the 20th century after the Ardmori Civil War, to represent the continuation of Ardmori Crown Regency.
