The Head of the Cabinet/ Government shall be called Prime Minister unless stated otherwise by in game rules. The President may also be deemed to command the Government if the same political party occupies both the offices of Head of State and Head of government. An exception to this rule will be where two different parties occupy Head of State Office and Head of Government Office, then the Government will be deemed to be commended by the Prime Minister. Therefore, for example, If Fatherland Front Party occupies both the Office of the President and Office of the Prime Minister, then the Government will be deemed to be commanded by the President. However, if the Unity Labour Party occupies the Office of the President but Fatherland Front Party occupies the Office of the Prime Minister, then the Prime Minister/ Fatherland Front Party will be deemed to command the Government and seen as superior to the President which will be known as a period of Cohabitation.
