The Emperor requires the advice of the to sign bills into laws. Thus, the Prime Minister has the power to send laws back to the National Assembly. This is unlikely to happen because the Council of the People is controlled by the Party led by the Prime Minister. Therefore, it is rare that the legislative and political objectives of the National Assembly do not align. This tool may be used by a Prime Minister to strengthen his position on issues that he might disagree with his party on. However, this rarely happens as it is embarrassing for the Prime Minister and majority party who would prefer to avoid overt public conflicts legislation.

The Emperor requires the advice of the Prime Minister to declare war, make peace and conclude treaties. This gives the Prime Minister control over warfare and foreign affairs. Taken together with his influence over the Department of Defence via the Minister of Defence as well as influence over the Council of the People (which must approve deployments, appropriations and composition of military structures), the Prime Minister is the de facto Supreme head of the armed forces. The Prime Minister is able to negotiate treaties and relations with foreign nations. However despite both this and his influence over the Department of Foreign Affairs via the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the National Assembly retains the power to ratify treaties making them binding over the Oan Isles.

The Prime Minister chairs meetings of the Council of Ministers, determines their agenda and calls and prorogues them. Because the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible for the executive branch, the Prime Minister requires the support and compliance of Ministers to effectively exercise power. Thus, there are contraints on the Prime Minister's control over policy and the work of the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister has the duty to meet with the Emperor once a week to discuss matters of state. Although the Emperor cannot exert influence over the Prime Minister in these sessions, the Prime Minister may draw on the Emperor for wisdom.
