The '''Government of Wiltshire''', formally the '''Government of the Fourth Wiltshire Republic''', is the central government of the Fourth Wiltshire Republic. It is also commonly referred to as the '''Wiltshirian Government''', the '''National Assembly Government''', or the '''Federal Government'''.  
The government of Wiltshire, formally the federal government of Wiltshire, is the national government of [[Wiltshire]], a federal parliamentary democracy located in the south-east of the Doggerlands, composed of four states and a federal district.


The government is led by the [[Prime Minister of Wiltshire]], who selects all other ministers. The Prime Minister and their most senior ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet. The government ministers all sit in the [[Wiltshire National Assembly]], and are accountable to it. The government is dependent on the Assembly to make primary legislation, and so is elected through the legislation elections which occur following the dissolution of the National Assembly. Following the legislative elections, the [[President of Wiltshire]] (currently [[Gaius Selan]]) appoints the Prime Minister to form the government. The Prime Minister requires the confidence of the President and the National Assembly.  
The federal government is based around the democratically elected [[Wiltshire National Assembly]], which elects the [[Prime Minister of Wiltshire]] - the chief executive - who forms the rest of the federal government. The Prime Minister appoints members of the cabinet, who execute actions in the different federal ministries. Federal cabinet ministers are responsible to both the Prime Minister and the National Assembly. The Prime Minister directs the federal government, including the legislative priorities of the National Assembly, due to the constitutional obligation of the Prime Minister to command a majority of seats in the Assembly. Hence, the Prime Minister also appoints the [[Leader of the National Assembly (Wiltshire)|Leader of the National Assembly]]. The position of [[Speaker of the Wiltshire National Assembly|Speaker]] is separate and is elected directly by the legislature.  


According to the Wiltshire constitution, executive power lies with the President. However, the President empowers the government to exercise the running of the country. This is done in the name of the President. Members of the cabinet unite with the President's Secretaries to form the Privy Council, a unified advisory council of government ministers, Presidentially appointed secretaries and the Prime Minister.  
A second federal legislative house - the States General - represents the federal states and is a body by which the states can cooperate. The States General does not hold legislative authority beyond that of the states themselves.


The current Prime Minister is [[Mark Edwin]] who leads a [[Edwin Ministry (Wiltshire)|coalition government]], comprising the [[Socialist Party (Wiltshire)|Socialist Party]] and the [[Labour Party (Wiltshire)|Labour Party]], which came second and third in the [[June 3020 Wiltshire Legislative Elections]] respectively. Mark Edwin took office on June 21, 3020.

=== '''Devolved Administrations''' ===
=== Powers of the governor ===
There are three devolved administrations in Wiltshire, that being the city governments of [[Washington E.R.]], [[Walkerton]] and [[Minevgrad]]. Each administration as a city council (in the case of Walkerton the Stadtrat), and an elected Mayor. The notable difference between devolved administrations and local authorities is that the devolved administrations are able to pass primary legislation in the areas;
The Governor has executive authority over devolved issues - matters left to the states. They command the State Council, which has ultimate authority over state actions and decides the budget. They also represent their state in the States General.
* Health and Social Care
* Education
* Social services
* Public services
All other areas of legislation are reserved for the federal government. The devolved administration is led by the Mayor. In addition, in Wiltshire (not Walkerton, Washington and Minevgrad) these areas of legislation are controlled by the Federal Government.

The Prime Minister appoints members of the cabinet, who execute actions in the different federal ministries. Federal cabinet ministers are responsible to both the Prime Minister and the National Assembly.
