The Committee of Public Safety (Sarvalian: Yleisen turvallisuuden komitea) is the collegial executive that constitutes the government of Sulatia. The committee serves as the collective head of state and head of government of Sulatia.

The position is largely a continuation of the previous Popular Tribunal that functioned in the same capacity during the First Republic. It was established on 16 January, 1916 with the ratification of the 1916 Constitution, which transformed the Popular Tribunal into the Committee of Public Safety. The era of democratic centralism, from 1916 until 1944, saw the committee become the highest governing authority of the nascent Second Republic. During this period, all decrees passed by the committee were rubber stamped by the Eduskunta, giving the committee unparalleled power over the function of the state. (See more...)
