Government of Bijan

The Government of the Republic of Bijan (Esperanto: Registaro de la Respubliko Biĵano) exercises executive power pursuant to the Constitution of Bijan and the laws of the Republic of Bijan. It is also known as the Cabinet or the Council of State.

The Government carries out the country's domestic and foreign policy, shaped by the Parliament. It directs and coordinates the work of government institutions and bears full responsibility for everything occurring withing the authority of executive power. The government, headed by the Prime Minister of Bijan, thus represents the political leadership of the country and makes decisions in the name of the whole executive power.

Requirements of membership
Whilst most members of the Government originate from within the Parliament, and will have their seats deputized during their time in office, being a Member of Parliament is not a requirement. However, all members of the Government must have the express support of the Parliament. In addition, they must hold Bijani citizenship and be eligible to vote, meaning that they have attained the age of 17.

Order of precedence and succession
There is no order of succession to the office of Prime Minister in Bijan, but the Minister of Foreign affairs has traditionally been regarded as akin to Deputy Prime Minister, although no such title officially exists. In the event the office of Prime Minister becomes vacant, the President must designate a new candidate for Prime Minister, whom the Parliament must authorize to form a new government.

Prior to 1990, there was no order of precedence. An order was established to direct seating and raking on formal occasions. The positions are listed in the table below according to the set order of precedence.
