The Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas (Etrurian: Primo Ministro di Imagua e Assimas) is the head of government of Imagua and the Assimas.

Established as the Premier of Imagua in June 1892 when the Colony of Imagua was granted limited self-government by Estmere, it only became the Prime Minister of Imagua in 1937 when Estmere granted Imagua "equal partner" status, and a constitution was promulgated. After the Solarian War, the Assimas Islands were annexed into Imagua, resulting in the position being renamed to its current name.

Role

As the head of government of Imagua and the Assimas, the role of the Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas is to oversee the Cabinet, and answers to Parliament. While theoretically, the Prime Minister can come from the Senate, this situation has never occurred. In addition, the Prime Minister could not be in Parliament, although the only instance of that occurring was in 1908 when the Deputy Premier, Dick Parlow, was not in the Lesser House: he was promptly elected in February 1909 to fill Harmon Lambourne's seat.

While officially, the President of Imagua and the Assimas has substantial powers, the constitution only allows them to be used after consultation with the Prime Minister, which effectively makes the Prime Ministerial position a very important position in the Imaguan government. This has only increased since the 1960s, when under Prime Minister Efrem Lacovara, he consolidated the powers of government into the Prime Minister's office.

Residences

Egnell House, 2010

The official residence of the Prime Minister is at the Egnell House, located in Cuanstad. Built in 1876 by the father of Nelson Egnell, Rasmus Egnell, it was the private residence of the Egnell family until in 1932, Premier Nelson Egnell bequeathed the house "for perpetual use as the personal residence of the Premier of Imagua."

Since then, all Prime Ministers, with the exception of Austin Houghton have lived during their terms in office at the Egnell House: Austin Houghton refused to move in or to use it, as a protest of "government waste."
