Ministeria (Superpowers)

The Ministries of the Throne is a non-parliamentary assembly of the 100 Ministeria that operate nearly all of the primary functions of the Empire. Each Ministry is headed by a Praeministrum, or High Minister who is selected by the Emperor and approved by the Senate. Through their positions in both the Imperial Senate and the Curia Regis, several Ministers are directly a part of both the legislative and executive branches of government. However, the primary job of all Ministers is to perform their given function, which usually entails managing the affairs of their proper Ministry.

The importance of the Ministries of the Throne itself is to advise the Discateria Imperia on its passing of legislation as well as organize the Ministers before the Emperor. Since the time of Magnus II, when the Ministries was founded, all the Ministers are to meet in the Southern Wing of the Palace of the Imperials when called together by the Praeministrum Italium. They are expected, though not legally obliged, to listen to the Praeministrum Italium, who is himself a Consul not a Minister, and try to resolve the issues he puts forward. Every three months the PI reveals the Ministerial Funds for the next three months and the Ministers propose to him how much money they'll be needing. By the end of that day the Minister of Finance decides what percentages of the Funds each Ministry will receive, except for his own Ministry which is funded differently. Otherwise, Ministers are allowed to petition the Emperor for additional funding, and will only receive it at his own will.
