The Mesazon (Greek: Mesazōn, literally "intermediary") serves as the head of government and chief executive of Theodorous and the Parathalassias. Some of the states preceding the modern-day Principality, such as the pre-war Principality as well as Theodoro-Samos, were likewise led by a Mesazon.
In the modern-day Principality, the Mesazon is the chief executive in a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, in which the head of state, the Prince, serves in only a ceremonial role. The Mesazon, like many prime ministers in other constitutional monarchies, is officially appointed by the Prince; however, the Prince is, according to the Theodoran Basilika (constitution), required to appoint "whichever Senator commands the support of his colleagues, is of good moral and legal standing, and has the will and ability to carry out the duties expected of the Mesazon" — in practise, the leader or other designee of the largest party or coalition in the Senate. The Mesazon must win an investiture vote by a simple majority before taking office; he can be removed by a motion of no confidence supported by an absolute majority of 16 senators.
The Mesazon holds extensive executive powers. He has the power to appoint and dismiss members of the Council of the Logothetes (equivalent to a cabinet), to present legislation, including budgets, to the Senate, and to adopt Royal Decrees exercising the discretionary powers of the executive branch. The Senate, meanwhile, has the power to interpolate the Mesazon and, should choose to, remove him and his logothetes with a motion of no confidence. Should such a motion be passed, the Mesazon stays in office in a demissionary capacity until a snap election is held.
