Epistalma

The Cabinet of the Empire (Magonian: Epistalma) is the chief executive body of the Empire. It consists of the 2 Consuls Plebeius (Primus and Segundus), 18 principal officers (17 executive secretaries and the Secretary of the Epistalma) and 7 counselors. The executive secretaries must be members of the Senate and lead the executive ministries of the government of the Empire, while the counselors must be members of the High Council and serve as assistant secretaries from the High Council of the Empire for national issues in the Epistalma. The Secretary of the Epistalma, unlike counselors and other secretaries, must not be a parliamentary and does not lead an executive ministry (as is responsible for the functioning of Epistalma). The fundamentals of the cabinet's functions and structure are set down in the Imperial Clause of the Constitution.

Composition
The Constitution of the Empire establishes the main functions and the general structure of the Epistalma, but abstains from establishing an exact number of members, and gives this last power to the Parliament of the Empire. The Senate can create new ministries, according to national needs (and therefore add new secretaries to the Epistalma) or modify the current composition. These measures must be approved by an absolute majority, and then sent to the High Council for ratification. secretaries for newly created ministries can join Epistalma at any time of the year, if they meet the qualifications that are established to be considered for the position.

Secretaries and counselors exercise a mainly advisory role, and not a regulatory one, on national issues; this is because the government avoids having more control over citizen activity than necessary. All members of the Epistalma (wherever from the Senate or the High Council) exercise their parliamentary functions regularly, but must prioritize their ministerial functions over them. The Consuls Plebeius perform fewer parliamentary functions than the other members of the Epistalma, given the nature of their positions and the large number of executive functions they must employ.

The Secretary of the Epistalma is responsible for moderating and organizing meetings of the Epistalma, as well as managing the documents, bills and laws that are used during the meetings. The secretary is considered an official member of the Epistalma, but must not be a member of the Senate or the High Council.
