History
Until the unification to the Kingdom of Eflad there is no recorded position quivalent to that of a prime minister in the former kingdoms. The closest would be the archchancellor of the Church of Lordgad and later the Church of Eflad. After the unification in 1165 the king ruled without supervision until Wellen II., who was crowned in 1365. Due to his illness after four years of his reign the members of the Council of the Wise elected a chairman to take on the tasks of the king in his absence. The council also took the right to advise the king on political and economic matters. Under the rule of the Gianlucians this position was abolished.
There was uncertainty after the Efladian Revolution whether to preserve the monarchy or replace it wtih a democratic system, because the revolution was initially only against the colonizers. After the decision to establish a senate the decision was made to transfer to a completely democratic system. The provisional government was based as a council with a chairperson. Adopting this principle, the constitution describes the cabinet (Ministerrat) as the government and the prime minister (Premierminister) as its head.
