==Tenure==
According to the ''Constitution of the Oan Isles'', the [[Emperor of Polynesia]] appoints the Prime Minister at His Serene Majesty's Pleasure. This means that the Prime Minister serves for as long as the Emperor of Polynesia deems fit and the Emperor is allowed to arbitrarily remove him from office. However, the Prime Minister must enjoy the confidence of the National Assembly to enforce his legislative agenda.
Thus, the Emperor appoints the person most likely to enjoy the confidence of the National Assembly. In practice, the Council of the People wields most of the legislative power and political clout of the National Assembly. Thus, the Prime Minister must draw his support from the Council of the People. Therefore, the Emperor consults with the Chairperson of the Council of the People on the composition of the Council of the People. Based on this, the Emperor invited the leader of the largest party to form a government. This means that the person invited must be able to assure the monarch that they can command the confidence of the National Assembly.
