List of First Secretaries of Palatial Affairs

The First Secretary of Palatial Affairs (Mudruvese: 𘓹𘅣𗪟𗧁 /tʰuŋkɛn ɕəcyək/, Gösdir Method: Thunggoen Shikyüg), commonly known as the First Secretary for short, is the of Mitruhmoer. The role of the First Secretary was established in 1759 after the expansion of powers of the Secretariat of Worldly Understanding following the reunification of Mitruhmoer. It was originally tied closely with the White Abbey, but this role faded as Mitruhmoer's legislature developed its own identity. The First Secretary is first nominated by the Forest of Chairmen, and then approved by parliament for appointment. Typically the First Secretary will be the vice-chair of the majority party, but may be chosen from any member of the Assembly. The First Secretary has a term length of 5 years, but they may serve an unlimited number of terms until they are either removed through a simple majority vote of no confidence by the Assembly or removed automatically at the abdication or death of the reigning Emperor, their granted powers defined by an implicit contract to the Emperor, although the remainder of their term is served until the coronation of the next Emperor. With either the approval of Emperor of Mitruhmoer or the Forest of Chairman, the First Secretary is able to approve edicts originating from the National Common Assembly of Mitruhmoer, although the former two combined also have the power to approve.
