Epistalma

The Hegemonian Cabinet (Hegemonian: Epistalma) is a Hegemonian institution responsible for defining the public policy of Imperium concerning various issues, as well as permanently cooperating with the 90 first-level entities' governments. It is chaired by the Consules Plebeii, heads of government of Imperium, and consists of 18 cabinet ministers (who lead the executive ministries) and 8 counselors, who advise on matters under their jurisdiction. It is also responsible for enforcing the Hegemonian law.

As established by the Hegemonian law, the Consules Plebeii (the heads of government of Imperium) are indirectly elected: the citizens of each first-level entity elect their senators who, consequently, elect the Consules Plebeii from among their peers of the Senate. The Senate committees, depending on the issues under their jurisdiction appoint the cabinet ministers, who lead the executive ministries of the Epistalma (the executive arms of the Hegemonian institutions). Counselors (Consistoriani) are chosen by the High Council through two levels: committees determine the appropriate candidate (and vote internally to confirm their decision), and then they are officially appointed by the full High Council.
