His Imperial Majesty's Government consists of a Chancellor of the Empire, and 12 additional ministers.  All serve at Her Imperial Majesty's pleasure, and all work to turn policy into practice.  The Chancellor of the Empire is the Chief Advisor to Her Imperial Majesty, ensures that Her Imperial Majesty's Will is carried out in the Government, and is responsible for Party Discipline.  The Chancellor of the Empire is required to be present during all Formal Audiences with the Sovereigns.  The Government's job is to propose legislation in accord with Her Imperial Majesty's expressed Fiat, and not deviate from that expression in any way.

The current Chancellor of the Empire is

The National Assembly

The National Assembly of People's Deputies (The "National Assembly") is a gathering of Deputies of the People, who each represent various constituencies within the Empire.  There are currently 79 Deputies in the National Assembly.  By way of Allocation:

Suldanor- 15 Deputies
Ananto- 15 Deputies
Vrassa- 14 deputies
Odufaray - 12 Deputies
Nevaras- 13 Deputies

In addition, each Free City is allocated 2 Deputies, for a total of 79 Deputies.

These Deputies represent the interests of their constituencies to the National Government, but in practice approve all laws proposed by the Government.  The Deputies have the right to debate the policies proposed by the Government and propose improvements to those policies, but do not have the power to veto or fundamentally alter the policies which represent the Fiat of the Sovereign.  Their primary function is to serve as the voice of their constituencies in the National Assembly.

The Institutional Party

The Institutional Party is the only legal political party in the Empire.  It exists to reinforce and defend the Institution of the Monarchy in Kalistan.  Those who are concerned about Government should get involved with the Institutional Party!  Factions are currently not permitted organization with the Institutional Party.
