Line 53:
The Prime Minister is ex officio the President of the Privy Council of the Kingdom of [[Drakkengard]]. This means that he chairs the Privy Council meetings whereat the Sultan (in his capacity as the King of Drakkengard) formally grants royal assent to laws passed by the Parliament of Drakkengard. In reality, he rarely exercises this role and thus the President pro tempore of the Privy Council is the Earl of Hadwan-Rabeen, the heir apparent to the Duchy of Vaskar. When a new Sultan and King comes to power, he will summon and preside over the Privy Council to symbolically acknowledge the accession of the new monarch.
The Prime Minister is also ex officio a member of the [[Council of State]] and thus he can vote on and discuss issues in its meetings. Additionally, he is a ex officio member of the Imperial Defence Council chaired by the Sultan which coordinates and discusses matters of national defence. This body also votes on and approves the deployment of nuclear weapons in the country. His department also encompasses the Public Administration giving him the power to issue regulations and executive orders with regard to the civil service of the Imperial Government.
