Imperial Cabinet
What is the Imperial Chancellery?
The Imperial Chancellery is the government of the Empire. It comprises the Imperial Ministries (see What's the Federal Council?) as well as the office of the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. The Imperial Chancellery is the faction closest to it's real-world counterpart, with its leadership consisting of the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor.
What's the Federal Council?
The Federal Council is the collection of every Minister with and without Portfolio, roughly analogous to a Cabinet in most countries. They meet fairly weekly to vote on legislation, usually called by the Vice-Chancellor.
Who runs the Federal Council / Imperial Chancellery?
At the highest echelon of the Chancellery is the Kaiser, but the day-to-day work of the Council and Chancellery are carried out by the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Ministers.
Ministries
Currently, there are ten ministries:
- Ministry of the Interior
