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 It superseded the Chancellor as a new republican institution without royalist connotations.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 has supplied the most First Ministers, although the centre-right has also elected First Ministers from the Liberal Party, Centre Party and Union Party.
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 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
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:

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.
