The '''Government of Wiltshire''', formally the '''Government of the Wiltshire Sixth Republic''', is the central government of the [[Wiltshire|Sixth 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 legislative elections which occur following the dissolution of the National Assembly. Following the legislative elections, the [[President of Wiltshire]] (currently Sonya Inyo) appoints the Prime Minister to form the government. The Prime Minister requires the confidence of the President and the National Assembly (through majority support).  
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 Wiltshire Basic Law, 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 [[President's Privy Council|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 Grace Daines, who was elected head of the governing Stability Party in December 3022.

The cabinet of the Wiltshire Sixth Republic is the senior advisory and decision making body for the government. Chaired by the Prime Minister, the cabinet is responsible for the execution of government business with members being granted different portfolios. Members of the cabinet are called Ministers of State. Each Minister of State is responsible for an Office of State and, within each Office of State, is a number of Junior Ministers. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers gather to make a non-collective larger council of state. The [[Daines Ministry (Wiltshire)|current cabinet is that of Stability Prime Minister Grace Daines]].
