The First Ministry oversees all financial/economic and justice policies. The Prime Minister is the head of the First Ministry, currently the Countess of Machy, whom is assisted by the Minister of State, the position is currently vacant.

The First Ministry is the only of the four Cabinet Ministries not established based on the Constitution.

The Public Service is an agency consisting of all government officials, excluding the cabinet, Parliament, and the Judiciary. The the Chief Secretary for Public Service is the administrative head of the Public Service, and is a Cabinet Minister designated by the Prime Minister, although traditionally the Deputy Prime Minister is usually appointee, currently the Viscount Chatham.

The Finance and Economic Department (FED) (Efrasachin: Departoment de Finanzes ey Econima) is equivalent to a treasury ministry in other countries and oversees all aspects of national finance and regulation of the economy through its various child agencies. The FED is administered by the Chief Financial and Economic Officer.

Most functions of the Department are organized into three (or four) primary agencies: His Majesty’s Treasury, Internal Revenue Agency, the Reserve Bank, and the Comptroller of the Currency, although the latter is technically also part of the Reserve Bank.

HM Treasury keeps all government treasures, and manages government transactions, all through the Council of Treasury Secretaries. The IRA collects taxes and other government revenue, while the Reserve Bank oversees the production and circulation of the Fraseta, while the latter function is more often handled by the Comptroller. The Reserve Bank also regulates banking.

The Board of Economic Directors oversees the strength of the economy, as well as regulations stock prices and other economic policies. The Board of Business Supervisors assures that all business follow the “people over pay” maxim. The Office of Financial and Economic Regulations recommends regulatory policies to the CFO, while the Fiscal Management and Budget Agency develops plans for the Treasury to manage government finances.

Justice Department

The Justice Department oversees all aspects of the judicial process from administration of the High Court, to parole. The entire Justice Department is administered by the Attorney-General. His Majesty’s Solicitor-General is the chief lawyer for the government in civil and administrative proceedings.

The State Prosecution Service is overseen by State Prosecutor and has three Deputy State Prosecutors, responsible for all prosecutions. The People’s Defense Office is responsible for all public defense, overseen by the People’s Defender, who is assisted by then Assistant People’s Defender.
