Imperial Privy Council

Type
 Founded

The **Imperial Privy Council of the Fox Dynasty**, also known formally as **Her Majesty's Imperial Privy Council** within the empire, is an advisory body which forms part of the imperial court, and is a forum of governmental coordination headed by the Emperor. The organisation is distinct from the Imperial Cabinet in that it is not solely comprised of ministers, but rather members of nobility and secretaries of state, and is guaranteed in law by imperial decree rather than the constitution.

In its day to day operations, the Privy Council is chaired by the President or Chairperson of the Privy Council, who is normally a senior member of the Libirachi nobility. Whilst the body has no legislative powers, it is able to recommend decrees and serves as an advisory forum for the Emperor; in instances of imperial incapacitation, the body has the right to appoint a regent. Upon the death or abdication of a reigning monarch, the Privy Council is tasked with formally proclaiming a successor and the chairperson of the Privy Council is designated as the first person to swear allegiance to the new monarch. Upon the crowing of a new monarch, the privy council is immediately vacated, though the chairperson remains in post until a successor can be appointed.

The Privy Council was first created after the Coronation of Fox II on November 11, 2024 to serve as an advisory body for the newly crowned empress, with its power growing quickly following the 2025 re-shuffle of the Damien Salamander I Cabinet into the Damien Salamander II Cabinet. During the Wahngso Crisis, the Privy Council was held hostage by the Libirachi Imperial Army. The Privy Council also played a key role in facilitating and coordinating the 2033 COMPNOR Self-coup d'état.

## Composition

The majority of members of the privy council are ex-officio attendees by the virtue of holding a senior office of state, and thus when the office-holder changes, the new incumbent takes up a position within the privy council. As of 2040, the titles of the privy council consist of;

* **President of the Privy Council**
* President of the Libirachi Empire
* Vice President of the Libirachi Empire
* Foreign Secretary
* Secretary of State
* Chairman of the Libirachi National Congress
* Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces
* Duke of Shanghai
* Duke of Beijing
* Duke of Wuhan
* Duke of Taipei
