Minister of the Right

The Minister of the Right (右大臣) is the third highest ranking government official in Teiko after the Chancellor of the Realm and the Minister of the Left. The minister is a senior member of the Great Council of the State, Hwabaek and ranks second in the line of succession. Unlike other parliamentary systems, the office of the minister of the right is a permanent position and office holders are appointed by the prince on the advice of the chancellor. The Minister of the Right serves as the government's chief press secretary, prepares materials to be discussed at cabinet meetings, and, in time of national crisis, coordinates ministries and agencies of the executive branch.

The current minister for the right is Koyomi Araragi.
