The First Minister is the head of government in the State of Pacem as well as the head of the Cabinet. The First Minister is elected every nine months by the people, and their running mate, should they win, becomes the Minister-at-Arms, of which acts as the secretary to the First Minister. The First Minister can also appoint other ministers in the Cabinet by approval of the Monarch, as well as immediate approval to lower-level cabinet positions.

The current First Minister is Jayden Lycon of the Pacem Social Democrats.

History

The office of First Minister is historically preceded by the position of Advisor to the Emperor or Prime Advisor, which generally was held by Stephen Freayth[1]. It was also the name of the Head of Government for the Federal Empire of Aarbaro[2]. In the 2020 Constitution, this institution was formally replaced with the office of First Minister.[3] The first election for the First Minister was conducted in July 2020 as the 2020 I executive election. Liam Alexander of the Conservative Party ran unopposed and won with 85.7% of the vote.[4]

Alexander would later resign due to personal reasons, causing a vacancy on 1 February 2021 following his resignation.[5] This vacancy would last until July, when Jayden Lycon of the Pacem Social Democrats would be declared the victor of the June 2021 executive election.[6]

Powers

As the head of the Cabinet, the First Minister has the power to create ministries, appoint people to those ministries, and organize meetings of the Cabinet. For lower-level Cabinet positions under other ministers, the First Minister approves these appointments rather than the Monarch. They also have the power to veto any bill or motion passed in the Senate.

The First Minister has the responsibility to act as the primary advisor to the Monarch, coming from the office's historical origin as the Prime Advisor.
