The President appoints his ministers whom advise him and are the chief administrative officials of the government. They also work with republican governments to implement policy and administer the Union. Ministries are the primary arm of federal bureaucracy and are focused on specific areas, whereas commissions are less numerous and deal with several branches of governance. For instance the Ministry of Agriculture establishes farming guidelines and works with farming cooperatives to ensure the Union can be feed. While the State Planning Commission is responsible for the establishing the three year plans along with the management and regulation of the greater economy within the Florencian Union. Additional members of the Cabinet of Ministers include the First Secretary, who also holds the position of Speaker of the Assembly of Peoples, and the Princeps who officially acts in an advisory role. The federal ministries are primarily concerned with national matters, so quite a few constituent republics adopt a similar ministerial organization to perform and administer similar functions dealing with their locality.
