The Chancellor of Acrea (German: Kanzlerin des Königreich Akriens; Dane: Kanslerin for Kongeriget Akrien) is the head of government of the Kingdom of Acrea.
The position originates from the late middle ages, when the office of Kanzler was created in the newly re-unified Acrean state as the chief minister overseeing both the noble legislature and the citizen's legislature- the early predecessors of the modern Reichshof and Landtag. As the role of the monarchy in the government evolved, the office of Chancellor gradually became the effective leader of the Acrean state with only the Crown ranking higher. The Monarch has the ability to dismiss the whole or part of parliament, and the ability to dismiss the Chancellor, however this power has never been practiced since parliamentary reforms in 1809.
The Chancellor and the government are, in practice, appointed by the Monarch, although today the appointment of the government is deferred to the Reichstag. The majority party then selects nominations for the position of Chancellor, who is typically but not always the leader of the party. There is no law restricting the social status of the Chancellor; although the majority of Chancellors since the creation of the position have come from the Reichshof, whereas the majority of Prime Ministers come from the Landtag.
