Leader of the Imperial Council

Prime Minister of the Imperium, nominated by the Imperial Viceroy (Head of Government) with the approval of the Imperial High Senate. Whereas the Emperor, Grand Dukes and Princes are hereditary and the Viceroy is selected from the Higher Aristocracy, the Leader of the Imperial Council is a political appointment open to any citizen with the appropriate qualifications and experience. This is a low profile position with vast administrative responsibilities but no public or ceremonial profile.
