Government of Reitzmag

The Government of Reitzmag, domestically referred to as His Majesty's Government, is the central government of the Kingdom of Reitzmag. The government is led by the prime minister (currently Simon Bridges, since 24 April 2020), who selects all the other ministers. The Prime Minister and their Ministers of the Crown belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet.

Ministers of the Crown are responsible to the House in which they sit; they make statements in that House and take questions from members of that House. For most senior ministers this is usually the elected House of Representatives rather than the House of Lords. The government is dependent on Parliament to make primary legislation, and since the Fixed-terms Parliaments Act 1950, general elections are held every three years to elect a new House of Representatives, unless there is a successful vote of no confidence in the government or a two-thirds vote for a snap election (as was the case in 2020) in the House of Commons, in which case an election may be held sooner. After an election, the monarch (currently King George I) selects as prime minister the leader of the party most likely to command the confidence of the House of Representatives, usually by possessing a majority of MPs.

Under the uncodified Reitzmic constitution, executive authority lies with the monarch, although this authority is exercised only after receiving the advice of, the privacy council. The Prime minister, the House of Lords, the Leader of the Opposition, and the police and military high command serve as members and advisers of the monarch on the Privy Council. In most cases the cabinet exercise power directly as leaders of the government ministries, though some Cabinet positions are sinecures to a greater or lesser degree (for instance Minister without Porfolio or Lord Privy Seal).

The government is sometimes referred to by the metonym "Hampton" or "Whitehall", due to that being where many of its offices are situated. These metonyms are used especially by former governments to refer to the Reitzmic Government in most occasions.
