The **Damien Salamander III Cabinet** was formed on October 7, 2030 and lasted until July 27, 2033 when President Damien Salamander was deposed by the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order during the 2033 Libirachi Coup d'état. The cabinet was Salamander's third and final cabinet, and was largely beset by the 2030-33 Libirachi Constitutional Crisis as the president engaged in a power struggle with the Empress Fox, a move which ultimately led to his downfall.

After the conclusion of the 28th National Congress and elections to the 29th National Congress on October 1, 2030, presidential elections were held in the first session of the new congress and Damien Salamander was subsequently re-elected to a third term in office, with Empress Penny Fox inviting him to form a new administration in her name. Immediately upon reassuming office, President Salamander enacted a widespread purge of his government and appointed personal loyalists to senior positions within the administration. During the first year of his third premiership, Salamander's government became largely focused on the ongoing invasion of Loxenia, and in November 2031 the government negotiated the Kiev Accords as a way to broker peace in Europe. Following the conclusion of the war in Loxenia, the Libirachi government began to focus on establishing relations with the newly formed United Arab Republic. Bolstered by his successes in international policy, Damien Salamander began to make governmental decisions without the involvement of the Empress Fox and on August 29, 2032, Salamander issued a proclamation banning Duchess Keely Morse, leader of the Imperial Privy Council, from attending cabinet sessions as part of a growing drive to expel the influence of the empress; in response to the power struggle, on September 14, 2032 business secretary Damien Rightly became the first Libirachi cabinet member to ever resign their office in government. During the third Salamander administration, foreign policy largely focused on expanding the Libirachi sphere of influence in southern Africa and Europe, with foreign secretary Kachel Vladimir deepening diplomatic relations with members of the Eurasian Union of States whilst engaging in a trade war with the United States of America under the presidency of Alexander Turpin. Following the end of the administration in 2033, the third Salamander cabinet has been accused of negligence in dealing with the Bovido Imperium, which would begin the Conquest of Africa mere months after the end of the Salamander cabinet.

Following nearly 3 years of intense political power struggle, Empress Penny Fox tasked the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order with deposing President Damien Salamander and removing him from office; since 2031, the organisation had been under the *de-facto* leadership of propaganda minister Karyn Voor, who had coordinated and overseen the arrests of hundreds of Revolutionary party congresspeople between 2031 and 2033, and their replacement with COMPNOR loyalists. On July 27, 2033, Voor ordered the arrest of President Salamander and oversaw his formal impeachment by the Libirachi National Congress with the aid of COMPNOR loyalists. The same day, Karyn Voor was elected as president and inaugurated by Empress Penny Fox.

The Great Offices of State are the 5 most senior offices of the Libirachi Empire that hold cabinet level access and are appointed by the President, who is the most senior of the officers:

1. President of the Libirachi Empire
2. Foreign Secretary
3. Secretary of State
4. Finance Secretary
5. Defence Secretary

These 5 posts are considered the highest positions that a politician within the Libirachi Empire could achieve, with the secretaries all being directly appointed by the President, who themselves is appointed upon the request of the Emperor of the Libirachi Empire, giving the Emperor complete control over the cabinet and government of the Empire. With no formal line of succession being present for the office of President owing to their role as the Emperor's appointed representative, the four secretary posts also hold high rank as being the most likely positions for a replacement President to be appointed from. Despite having been a concept for decades before the Coronation of Empress Fox I, the power of the Great Offices of State only became a legal reality in 2019 with the proclamation of the new order and the creation of a new political reality.
