The Ministry of State for Defense (Portuguese: Ministério de Estado para Defesa), formerly and sometimes still called Ministry of War, is a ministerial department of Ebenthal responsible for conducting the country's defense and promote its military interests. The ministry sets the budget, appoint the head of staff of the military and oversees its actions. Traditionally the Ministry of Defense, who is appointed by the Archchancellor, is also the head of staff of the military, but this is not a requirement, thus formally keeping the civil control of the military. As a member of the Pact of Malmünd, Ebenthal's Ministry of Defense commonly acts in conjunction with the equivalent ministries of the pact's signatory states
