''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 the [[Government of Urcea|Government]] Ministers, the senior most officials within the Urcean national bureaucracy. The Purpaidá and its subordinate agencies and offices are 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. 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 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.

==History== | |||
{{wip}} | |||
==Structure== | |||
While the historic role of the Purpaidá was that of {{wp|privy council}} to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], the accretion of its departments and agencies over time necessarily lead 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 Purpaidá. He or she oversees all ministries in an administrative sense and reports directly to the King. The Procurator convenes all meetings of the Purpaidá. | |||
Although the Concilium Purpaidá 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 Purpaidá as Lords of the Treasury. Together, the functions and powers of both bodies give the Purpaidá significant authority over both Kingdom-wide policy and the expenditure of funds necessary to implement those policies. | |||
===Appointments=== | |||
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. The Daoni is responsible for confirming nominees by a majority vote. The members of the Purpaidá 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]]. | |||
===Procedure=== | |||
The members of the Purpaidá are appointed by the [[Concilium 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 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. | |||
