Prime Minister of Freeland

The Prime Minster of Freeland was the Head of the Freelander goverment. It was created in 1655 by King Alexandar I as a combination of the positions of the Royal Majordomo and the Chancellor of the Treasury for the Earl of Longmead Galland. The Prime minster manages the cabinet which is formed by Cheif Minsters who are appointed by the King from the Party elected during the cabient election which happens every six years. The position's powers have changed numerous times, however the most important reform was the 1906 consitiution which restricted the Prime Minster in declaring war and joining alliances by making sure that the Prime Minster would have to gain the consent of Parliament and Parliament would have to consent to the King. the position was abolished in 1946 when Freeland was annexed by the Mirkuleon Empire

Authority
The Prime Minster leads the cabinet however they do not always control the majority party in Parliament due to Parliamentary and Cabinet elections being seperated. The Prime Minster has the power with consent to sign treaties and join alliances as well as declare war and remove minsters and replace them. The Prime minster also serves as the public face of the goverment.

History
King Alexandar I  (King of Freeland 1650-1670) created the position of Prime Minster due to the blood feud between the Royal Majordomo Charles Duke of Gatoin and Vundar Duke of Tamerashire which went back before the seventh year and was over the issue of a goat stolen in the sixth era during the Anarchy. In 1654 Charles attempted to poison Vundar in a state dinnerhowever Alexandar accidently drunk from Vundar's goblet. the King survived however he was crippled by stomach pains and so he managed to deduce that it was the work of Charles whom he senteced to death by having molten gold poured down his throat. Charles' son Herring inherited his father's position in 1655 and he tried to kill Alexandar and Vundar during a hunting trip. Herring  killed Vundar with his flintlock musket however Alexandar managed to maim Herring with his pistol by shooting him in the jaw. What happened to Herring remains a mystery as he was left for dead by Alexandar. When King Alexandar I returned to Aundar he created the position of Prime Minster and he gave it to the Earl of Longmead Galland who came from the noble house of Erdom and served as the Officer of Tax collection
