The '''Council of Ministers | The '''Council of Ministers''', also known as the '''State Ministries''', is the collection of trans-parliamentary bodies that administer the functions of the executive branch of the [[Government of Caphiria]]. The council consists of several ministries, each led by a Minister of State, referred to as a ''praeministrro''. These ministers are appointed by the [[Imperator]], acting upon recommendations from the [[Prime Minister (Caphiria)|Prime Minister]]. The [[Council of the Imperium]], which represents the core executive authority in Caphiria, includes all senior ministers. Additionally, under-secretaries may participate in its meetings at the discretion of the Prime Minister. The Council is supported by various minor officials and magistrates, tasked with executing the administrative functions assigned by the Prime Minister. | ||
The responsibilities of a Minister of State extend to advising the [[Senate (Caphiria)|Senate]] on issues within their purview, directing public funds towards both assigned and autonomously set goals of their ministry, and offering counsel to the Imperator as part of the Office of the Imperium. The role of a minister is notably demanding, encompassing both advisory and administrative duties. Inability to execute key governmental functions subjects a minister to potential prosecution by the Senate, jeopardizing their position. While the Imperium can operate temporarily without the Senate's functions, the absence of operational ministries would lead to a systemic collapse. | |||

The minister of state (''praeministrro'') is the head of the ministry and is a member of the political class. The minister proposes the appointment of directors with general functions to the Office of the Imperium, directs administrative action, and takes decisions on important matters. There are also ministers without portfolio for competencies that do not come with budgetary autonomy (e.g. the Minister for relations with the Senate). | The minister of state (''praeministrro'') is the head of the ministry and is a member of the political class.
