The First Minister (FM) (Wulffren: Wulffmarks Fursteminister) is the executive leader of Wulffmark.
The office was created in 1945 by the Republic constitution as a de jure head of government,
which had previously been an informal role granted at the pleasure of the Monarch. It superseded
the Chancellor as a new republican institution without royalist connotations.
The First Minister must be a member of the Sturting (SD) and is nominated by the Speaker after
an election or vacancy, and appointed by the President upon plurality support. Terms are unfixed
and holders may serve as long as they recieve such approval; otherwise they may be removed with
a no-confidence vote. Budgets are also viewed as equivalent votes.
There have been thirteen First Ministers since 1938, three of which have served non-consecutive terms. The incumbent First Minister is Magda Anderssen, who has been in office since 9 July 2015. Her second term began on 11 July 2019 following the 2019 general election.
===Name===
First Minister is the direct translation of the Wulffren Fursteminister. Before the official
English name was adopted in 1995, English language media commonly used the unofficial name Prime Minister.
===Style===
The office does not have an official courtesy or style aside from the titular "First Minister"
used in the Sturting, although it uses the diplomatic reference of "Excellency".
===History===
Under the Kingdom the office of Chancellor had evolved as the de facto head of government, having
once been the chair of the Royal Council and typically granted to personal favourites. In the wake of
anti-royalist sentiment afterr Wulffmark's defeat in the Great War, the Republican constitution
created a new analogous office independent from the presidency.  The inagural First Minister, [[Olof Luttvik]],
took office on 1 September 1938.
The [[Labour Party (Wulffmark)|Labour Party]] has supplied the most First Ministers, although the centre-right has also elected First Ministers from the [[Liberal Party (Wulffmark)|Liberal Party]], [[Centre Party (Wulffmark)|Centre Party]] and [[Union Party (Wulffmark)|Union Party]].
[[File:Hans_Hedtoft_achter_zijn_bureau_op_het_ministerie,_Bestanddeelnr_252-8965_(cropped).jpg|thumb|200px|Olof Luttvik]]
The office has more recently achieved a more presidential public image and status instead of the originally
intended ''primus inter pares''. Erik Eikholm pioneered personalised election campaigns, and his governing
approach involved an effectively subordinate Cabinet. Some political commentators have written that single-party
governments have been more presidential, but multi-party examples have behaved more akin to traditional cabinet
government.
===Appointment and removal process===
Upon the election of a new Sturting or vacancy, the Speaker must nominate a candidate after consulting with major
party leaders. In practice, this usually means the leader of the largest party of the largest bloc. If the nominee
recieves a relative majority, they must take the oath of office administered by the President to take office.
Failure to complete this process allows the Speaker to propose a snap election, although this scenario has yet to occur.
A First Minister may be removed through a no-confidence vote. Under current Sturting rules, 35% of SDs must petition
the Speaker to table a confidence vote. If the incumbent does not recieve a relative majority, the office is vacated
pending the positive nomination of a successor. To deter trivial usage of this process, another no-confidence vote
cannot occur for at least three months.
===Requirements===
The First Minister must be an incumbent member of the Sturting. This in turn requires a mininum age of 21 years old,
full Wulffren citizenship, and a mininmum one year of permanent residency. An incumbet losing their seat from either
electoral defeat or expulsion would effectively vacate the office, although either scenario has yet to occur.
===Succession===
The [[Second Minister of Wulffmark|Second Minister]] of Wulffmark directly follows the First Minister in order of precedence and frequently deputises in their absence, but the order of succession is entirely unfixed. Upon an immediate vacancy, the President may designate any Cabinet-rank minister as Acting First Minister. This status allows the temporary assumption of the powers and duties of the office without Sturting approval- the only individual to have recieved this was [[Kjell Willsrud]] in 1956 after the death of Olof Luttvik. However recent First Ministers have issued preferred succession lists which the President is expected to honour.
===Powers and duties===
As head of government, the First Minister leads the Cabinet and executive branch of the Government of Wulffmark as a whole. Its largest powers are appointing Cabinet ministers and leading the government in the Sturting. However it is less powerful than equivalent posts elsewhere, as Sturting approval is required for most prerogatives and other agency appointments. The party-list PR electoral system and the resulting fragmented 'block' party system also acts as a de facto check on its power.
===Seat and official residences===
[[File:Strömgatan_December_2012.jpg|thumb|200px|Karstersvej complex, 2012]]
The First Minister has exclusive use of the Karstersvej complex next to the Karster Canal in central Brokkemouth, consisting of several interconnected buildings. 1 and 2 are residential quarters, 3 and 4 are offices, and 5 is a multi-purpose venue. Presently, 2 is the official residency whilst 4 houses most offices. The First Minister is also entitled to a secondary Brorkeemouth residence at 13 Videgat, which was used during the most recent refurbishment of 1/2 Karstersvej from 2011-2014.
The First Minister also has a summer country residence at the Friederhus estate in Blaakelund County.
===List of First Ministers===
There are currently four living former First Ministers, the oldest being [[Maria Dalkebrant]] (born 1939; served 1991-1997). The most recent to die was [[Erik Eikholm]] (1928-2018, served 1983-1991) on 31 January 2018. They are, in order of service:

Magdalena Katrine Anderssen Nordhaag (born 31 December 1960), usually known as Magda Anderssen, is a Wulffren [[Union Party (Wulffmark)|Union Party ]]politician serving as First Minister of Wulffmark since 2015. The second woman to hold the office, she has been a SF for Brorkkemouth County since 1999. Previously she was Minister for Local Government  from 2006-2007 and Deputy Minister for Economics (2005-2006) in the premiership of Erik Dalholm.
Born in Brorkkemuhl, Anderssen was a financial researcher and consultant before entering politics. After holding roles at [[Wulffmark#Economy|ExtraBank]] and [[Wulffmark#Economy|Ruttgern-Wallen]], she was elected to Brorkkemuhl City Council in 1993 after being made redundant from the latter. She lost re-election in
1997 and found work at Sandra Mobile, but was persuaded by her local Union Party contacts to stand for the Sturting. In 1999 election she was successfully elected
for her then home district of Brorkkemouth County, a post she has held ever since.
After a backbench tenure on the Economics Committee from 1999 to 2003, she was appointed Deputy Minister for Economics in a 2005 Dalholm Cabinet reshuffle. In
this role she assisted the 'light-touch' response to the ongoing recession credited with the later strong recovery. The following year she was made Minister for
Local Government, during which she finalised local government reforms. She initially returned to the backbench after the government lost the 2007 election but
was made spokesperson for Economics by [[Henrik Ulfstein]] and was widely expected as his choice for the role had he won the 2011 election. Anderssen succeeded him as faction leader after he chose not to stand for re-election, and in January 2015 was elected top candidate for First Minister in the 2015 election.

The brøsen (symbol Br, plural brøsor) is the national currency of Wulffmark. Introduced in 1922 to replace the former Wulffren krone, it is formally divided into 100 øre, although only 50ø coins are currently issued. It has been pegged to the Aininian louré at a central rate of 7.23Br since 1988.

Name

Originating from the word brøns (bronze), the name was historically colloquial for the lowest denominated bronze specie of the medieval Wulffren krone and its subunits. Although higher denominations were made from silver, gold and rarely platinum, only the bronze coins were typically seen by commoners making it the most publicly-recognised coin. Use of bronze spiece had ended by the late 17th century when the coins had been heavily debased with copper and other metals, although the phrase remained in common use for low denomination coins, which had retained the brown colouring. In the 18th century, the name was revived for small value deposit certificates.

The official name øre is derived from aurum, the latin for gold, although only early øre coins were minted from that.

History

Economics

Due to the impossible trinity, the Sturbank's targeting of exchange rates prevents it from targeting interest rates. Although capital controls have historically been imposed (as recently as XXXX), the Sturbank has never adopted interest rate targeting. Economists have noted that because of this Wulffren interbank rates have never deviated more than 179bp from Ainian benchmark rates.
