Seal of the Government of Nouvelle Alexandrie

The Council of State of Nouvelle Alexandrie is a thirteen-member executive council that makes up the federal government of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The Council of State serves as the collective head of government of Nouvelle Alexandrie, led by the President of the Government, also called the “Premier”.

The President of the Government serves as the chairman of the Council of State. The Proclamation of Punta Santiago has conferred upon him the status of first among equals, or primus inter pares.

While the entire council is collectively responsible for leading the Federation, each Department Secretary is individually responsible for a specific portfolio of state affairs, organized around thirteen federal executive departments.

The Council of State formally advises the King on the exercise of the royal prerogative, and can advise the King to issue Decrees or other executive instruments.
