A '''cabinet''', is a body of high-ranking state officials, typically consisting of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_(government) executive] branch's top leaders. Members of a cabinet are usually called ministers or secretaries. The function of a cabinet varies: in some countries, it is a collegiate decision-making body with collective responsibility, while in others it may function either as a purely advisory body or an assisting institution to a decision-making [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_state head of state] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_government head of government]. Cabinets are typically the body responsible for the day-to-day management of the government and response to sudden events, whereas the legislative and judicial branches work in a measured pace, in sessions according to lengthy procedures. | A '''cabinet''', is a body of high-ranking state officials, typically consisting of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_(government) executive] branch's top leaders.

In countries with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_system presidential] system, such as [[Philippine Republic|the Philippines]] or the [[The United States of America (current)|United States]], the Cabinet does not function as a collective legislative influence; rather, their primary role is as an official advisory council to the head of government. In this way, the President obtains opinions and advice relating to forthcoming decisions. Legally, under both types of system, the parliamentary system and the presidential system, the Cabinet "advises" the Head of State: the difference is that, in a parliamentary system, the monarch or leader will almost always follow this advice, whereas, in a presidential system, a president who is also head of government and political leader may depart from the Cabinet's advice if they do not agree with it. | ||

The composition of Cabinets often differ from nation to nation, whether it be the precense of Advisors or Ministers without Portfolio; or whether they are elected by the people, elected by the parliament, or appointed by a leader. | In many cases on [[Terra Nova (Planet)|EarthMC]], a Cabinet is not in place in a traditional sense, and the power traditionally given to a cabinet are either jointly exercised with the Legislature or solely vested into the Head of State or Head of Government.
