The Prime Minister of the Hapes Consortium is the senior most member of the Royal Council. It is fieled by an elected official and as such this individual supervises the Ministers and oversees their work. The only individual to overrule this person is the Regent, held typically by the Crown Prince or Princess, who serves as the administer of the Royal Council in the absence of the Ta'a Chume. These times are only executed when the Sovereign is a minor, absent, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to rule for other reasons.
