Prime Minister
The Prime Minister of the United Federation of Nations (UFN) is the second-highest-ranking official in the Federation’s executive branch, acting as the chief administrator of the government. As the right hand to the Supreme Chancellor, the Prime Minister ensures the efficient operation of the Federation’s vast interstellar bureaucracy, bridges gaps between ministries, and serves as a stabilizing force in the UFN’s political landscape.
Appointment
The Prime Minister is elected from among senior members of the Federation Council, typically chosen for their experience, impartiality, and ability to foster unity among diverse factions. The Supreme Chancellor plays a significant role in endorsing or confirming the Prime Minister, ensuring alignment between the two offices.
Duties
While the Supreme Chancellor is the Federation’s head of state and primary decision-maker, the Prime Minister wields considerable influence due to their close involvement in the Federation’s daily operations. The position requires exceptional diplomacy, organizational skill, and political acumen to navigate the complexities of an interstellar federation composed of diverse cultures, priorities, and needs.
The Prime Minister also holds the authority to call for extraordinary council sessions, propose legislative initiatives, and mediate disputes between member states or ministries. Their role is seen as a balancing act between ensuring efficiency and upholding the democratic principles of the Federation.
Responsibilities

Inter-Ministerial Coordination: Acting as a liaison between the Supreme Chancellor and the ministries, facilitating communication and resolving disputes to maintain cohesive governance.

Crisis Management: Leading efforts to address internal crises, such as economic disruptions, natural disasters, or political unrest.
