Government of Shalum

Ministries

The ministries of the Empire of Shalum are the primary bodies through which the central government exercises its executive authority. Each of these is headed by a government minister, who also serves as a member of the cabinet, and is supported by junior ministers who are often designated as deputies. Subordinate to the ministries are departments known as executive agencies which have been granted varying degrees of autonomy to carry out their designated functions. Although they fall under the jurisdiction of their parent ministry, these agencies usually operate within independent budgets established by parliament.

As of January 2021, there are 15 ministries of the Shalumite government.
