The **Damien Salamander II Cabinet** was formed on March 13, 2025 and lasted until October 7, 2030 between the 2025 and 2030 Libirachi Presidential Elections and was the second administration of President Damien Salamander. It was the first administration under the Fox Dynasty to last for the full five year presidential term, and the first since the Jackson cabinet of 2010-2019 to last more than 2 years.

Following the end of the 27th National Congress and the election of the 28th National Congress on March 10, 2025, presidential elections were held on the first day of the 28th congress on March 13, 2025, with Damien Salamander becoming the first president since Nathan Jackson in 2010 to be elected to the office. Subsequently, Empress Penny Fox invited Salamander to form a second administration in her name; the initial cabinet of the administration remained almost identical to that of the first Salamander administration, with Jacob Zuma Jr serving as foreign secretary on an interim basis after Xi Jimping declined to continue in cabinet. On April 10, 2025, a month after the formation of the cabinet, President Salamander embarked on a wide ranging reshuffle of government, most notably with the great offices of state; on November 11, 2025, the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda was established and at the behest of Empress Fox, Karyn Voor became invited to cabinet as the minister of propaganda.

In August 2026, a group of conservative army led by former president Xi Jimping and Grand General Guo Tijjan attempted to overthrow the government in a coup attempt in response to the discovery that Empress Penny Fox had a girlfriend, accusing her of "unconstitutional behaviour", but the plot collapsed after just 3 days and the perpetrators, including cabinet members, were purged from office; subsequently, the Salamander administration enacted the Same-Sex Relations Act of 2026 to legalise same sex marriage. Following the collapse of Lemurian Star Banks in August 2027, the Salamander administration was forced to deal with the effects of a global banking crisis and an international recession, which affected the planned Mars 2030 Project for space exploration. In response to the financial crisis, the Sino-Scandinavian Development Fund was established in partnership with Avalonia to help developing nations survive the crisis. The financial crisis contributed to major global geopolitical instability, with a Libirachi backed coup seizing power in neighbouring Russia in 2028 as a result of the tensions; similarly, the establishment of the state of Canto Haven in 2028 provided the Salamander administration the impetus to launch an invasion of Loxenia in August 2030 with the intention of toppling Generalissimo Jax Esposita, who had fought against the Fox Dynasty in the Libirachi Civil War.

On October 1, 2030, elections for the 29th National Congress were held, resulting in the Revolutionary party loosing a further 98 seats in the congress to the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. At the first session of the 29th National Congress on October 7, 2030, Damien Salamander was re-elected as president and was subsequently invited by Empress Penny Fox to form a second administration in her name.

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.

## Members of the Salamander Cabinet

### First Cabinet (March - April 2025)

Coming out of the 2025 Libirachi Presidential Elections, the Revolutionary Party under the leadership of Damien Salamander formed a new cabinet on March 13, 2025, replacing the Damien Salamander I Cabinet. The cabinet consisted of largely the same Congressmen and Congresswomen as the previous administration, with the noticeable difference being the absence of former president Xi Jimping who declined to remain in office as Foreign Secretary, and was temporarily replaced with Jacob Zuma Jr.

### Second Cabinet (Apr 2025 - Oct 2030)

Having left the Union of Aligned Nations the same day, President Damien Salamander unveiled a new re-shuffled cabinet to tackle the changes that the new world order created following the end of the Libirachi Civil War and the Has Wars would bring and the Bovido Hassian empire that was beginning to re-emerge in the Middle East. The newly reshuffled cabinet saw newcomers Alexander Fowle, Carlo Boreal, Xiao Chen and Keely Morse being appointed to the cabinet as Minister of War, Defence Secretary, Foreign Secretary and President of the Imperial Privy Council respectively. Following the Wahngso Crisis in August 2026, finance secretary Vladimir Medvedev and Grand General Guo Tijjan were both arrested for treason, and replaced with Li Keqiang and Fang Torrent respectively.
