The **Burez Ministry** was formed on April 8, 2018 and lasted for just under two years until its dissolution on April 6, 2020 with the execution of prime minister Nicolas Burez. The ministry was both the first and the last of the Second Persian Republic, as well as the only government formed under President Emanuel Parra.

Between 1909 and 2018, the Arabian peninsular was governed under a harsh clerical dictatorship as a colonised part of the Holy Empire of Bovido Has; however, as the logistics and cost of continued occupation grew increasingly unjustifiable to the Bovido government, self government was incrementally granted to the region under the leadership of Emanuel Parra, a local businessman and politician. In 2018, the Arabian peninsular was united under a single independent government for the first time in over a century with the formation of the Republic of Persia on April 8, 2018. As part of the transition to Persian independence, Parra enlisted the aid of the businessman Nicolas Burez to help write the new republic's constitution, and in early April 2018, Burez became the leader of the Progressive Party in the new Persian Congress; subsequently, upon the proclamation of independence, Burez was appointed as the republic's first prime minister at the head of a coalition between the Progressive Party, People First, the Social Democratic Party, and Thari.

During his premiership, Nicolas Burez was tasked by President Parra with constructing new institutions to support the Persian state; as part of this effort, Burez's administration oversaw the transfer of regional paramilitary groups and remaining Bovido militia into the new Persian armed forces. Similarly, Burez oversaw the legislative passing of President Emanuel Parra's major social and welfare reforms throughout 2018-2020. In 2019, Burez was attacked in the streets of Dubai by Christian protestors objecting to the government's separation of the Christian church from the state and the persecution of adherents to the Final Testament.

In 2020, the Persian Republic came under attack from the Hǔnluàn terrorist group led by radical militant Ashton Morre, who sought to topple the democratic government and impose himself as president. Between January and April 2020, President Emanuel Parra and prime minister Nicolas Burez personally led the government's efforts in putting down the insurgency; however, the comparative weakness of the Persian armed forces meant that efforts of resistance were largely ineffective, and on April 4, 2020 at 17:54pm President Emanuel Parra resigned his office and fled the nation to the neighbouring Libirachi Empire, leaving Burez in the position as interim President of Persia. Unable to rally forces to hold off the Hǔnluàn, President Burez ordered the dissolution of the Persian Congress and sent them into exile for safety, remaining alongside Defence Minister Karen Sanders to try to ease a transition into a government under the leadership of Ashton Morre. At 12:00 noon on April 5, 2020, Burez formally handed over the powers of the Persian presidency to Morre, retaining his post as Prime Minister within the new regime. Attempting to put together a new government from the few political leaders remaining in Nupersia, Burez's efforts were put down by President Morre, who summoned Burez to the presidential offices on April 6, 2020 and crushed the prime minister's neck in a televised act of brutality, killing him instantly.
