Cabinet of Nakong
The Cabinet of Nakong Shangean: 內江內閣; Morwall romanization: noi6 gong1 noi6 gok3, also known as the Government of Nakong Shangean: 內江政府; Morwall romanization: noi6 gong1 jing3 fu2, is the national cabinet and executive authority of Nakong. Chaired by the Prime Minister, the Cabinet consists of the heads of the departments of state, termed ministers, and any other invitees as designated by the Prime Minister. The Cabinet is responsible to Parliament and must maintain the confidence of the House of Deputies to remain in office.
Members of the Cabinet are appointed by the Prime Minister and serve at his or her pleasure, while the Prime Minister is in turn appointed and dismissed by the Speaker of the House of Deputies in accordance with the chamber's expressed will. The Cabinet is a collegial body which makes decisions by deliberative consensus, and ministers are bound by collective ministerial responsibility to support all decisions made thereafter. Unlike other Northabbey system countries, the Cabinet of Nakong is the fount of executive power, while the President possesses no actual or reserve powers of any kind. As a result, all international agreements and formal government actions are made by the Cabinet in the name of the Government of Nakong, rather than in the name of any individual office or person.
Being vested with the full executive power of the Nakongese state, the Cabinet supervises all functions and departments of the Government of Nakong, and all civil servants are answerable both to the relevant minister and to the Cabinet as a whole. The Cabinet, via the Minister of Defence, is also the commander-in-chief of the Nakong Autonomous Security Force. Unlike Acts of Parliament which are protected by parliamentary sovereignty, decisions of the Cabinet must comport with law and are subject to judicial review by the judicial branch.
Since the 2020 election, the current Cabinet of Nakong has been formed by Prime Minister Andrew Ng Fan-chiu and the Self-Determination Congress. Ng has been Prime Minister since 2012 and the Self-Determination Congress has formed the government of Nakong since the founding of the republic in 1958.
