History

Nomination

The Prime Minister is nominated by the President of Fratanica. They may theoretically choose whoever they want for the post, however, presidents usually choose a prime minister who would garner a parliamentary majority. The potential for the National Assembly removing the Prime Minister and his government also forces presidents to pick a prime minister that would satisfy a majority of the house.

The Prime Minister position is mostly held by former members of the National Diet, due to their legislative experience. However, there are rare cases where a Prime Minister is picked due to their leadership experience in bureaucracy or management.
