The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the Sovereign of the Dominions of Urnellia, who also acts as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The Sovereign is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws confirmed by the Imperial Royal Council and, to that end, appoints the heads of the imperial agencies, including the Sovereign Cabinet. 

The Sovereign Cabinet and independent imperial agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of constitutional laws. These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense.

The Sovereign

The Sovereign is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

Under Article I of the Constitution, The Sovereign is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws confirmed by the royal council. Fifteen executive departments — each led by an appointed member of The Sovereign’s Cabinet — carry out the day-to-day administration of the imperial government. 

The Sovereign has the power either to sign legislation into law or to veto laws enacted by the Imperial Royal Council, although the Imperial Royal Council may override a veto with a full vote of all twelve members. The Executive Branch conducts diplomacy with other nations and The Sovereign has the power to negotiate and sign treaties, which the Imperial Royal Council ratifies. The Sovereign can issue executive orders, which direct executive officers or clarify and further existing laws. The Sovereign also has the power to extend pardons and clemencies for national crimes.

With these powers come several responsibilities, among them a constitutional requirement to “from time to time give to the Dominions Information of the State of the Nation, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Although The Sovereign may fulfill this requirement in any way he or she chooses, the Sovereign has traditionally given a State of the Dominions address to a session of the Royal-Council each January (except in inaugural years) outlining their agenda for the coming year.

The Constitution lists only four qualifications for the Royal Regent — The Royal Regent must be at least 36 years of age, be a naturally manifested national, must have a permanent E₂/Dār/Domicile in Urlennia for at least 9 years, and have a clean criminal record for the nine years prior to consideration. And should there be a vacancy, The new Royal Regent is elected by the Imperial Royal Council.

Royal Regent Mentep Bey is the 1st Sovereign of Urlennia. When the Sovereign travels by plane, his or her aircraft is designated Air Force Prime; The Sovereign may also use a Marine Corps helicopter, known as Marine Prime while The Sovereign is on board. For ground travel, The Sovereign uses multiple armored Imperial Vessels.

The Sovereign’s Inner Council

To provide the Sovereign with the personal council that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Sovereign Inner Council(SIC) was created. The SIC has responsibility for communicating the vital concerns of the nation to the Sovereign.

Imperial Office of the Sovereign

Every day, the Sovereign of Urlennia is faced with legions of decisions, each with important consequences for Urlennia’s future. To provide the Sovereign with the support that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Imperial Office of the Sovereign (IOS) was created. The IOS has responsibility for tasks ranging from communicating the Sovereign’s message to the Urlennian nationals to promoting our trade interests abroad.

The IOS, overseen by the Imperial Chief of Staff, has traditionally been home to many of the Sovereign’s closest advisers. 

The Cabinet

The Cabinet is an advisory body made up of the heads of the 15 executive departments. Appointed by the Sovereign and confirmed by the Imperial Royal Council, the members of the Cabinet are often the Sovereign’s closest confidants. In addition to running major imperial agencies, they oversee the Sovereign’s line of succession — after the Chief of the Imperial Royal Council, Chief of the Supreme-Lawful-Chamber, Chief of the Imperial Royal Treasury and Commander-General of the Joint Forces, the line of succession continues with the heads of the executive departments.
