The Minister-President, officially the Minister-President of the Empire of Barnland (also unofficially known as the Prime Minister), was the head of government of the Empire of Barnland, and was normally the person who is most likely to have the confidence of either the People's Chamber or the House of Lords. The Minister-President was appointed by the Emperor to serve at his pleasure.
History
The position of head of government was originally invested in the Monarchy, with the Emperor as the absolute authority in the state. However over time, it became apparent that change was coming, and Emperor Thomas created the position of Minister-President, with Xen as acting Minister-President. She was sacked on 17 February 2022, and replaced by John Fenandez, who became the 2nd and non-acting Minister-President.
Powers and Responsibilities
The Minister-President was normally a member of the House of Burgesses, or the House of Lords. The last Minister-President, Jan da Remington was a member of the House of Lords due to him being the Count of Nay-jerm-vea. The Minister-President exercised some executive power in the state, along with the Monarch. The Minister-President however was responsible only to the Monarch and could not be removed by a vote of no confidence.
