 * Secretary of State: The Secretary of State serves at the discretion of the Emperor and the Prime Minister and has no direct authority in the military as it has with foreign relations.

The Secretary of Foreign Affairs serves the same purpose as the Secretary of State to a lesser degree and serves as a constant liason for Kaplechistan when traveling to nations near and far from Kaplechistan.  The secretary is considered to be very influential in foreign policy for Kaplechistan when addressing the Emperor and helps serve a purpose in increasing better relations for Kaplechistan.  The Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Kaplechistan is currently held by the Acting Secretary and current Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Dennis Raymond.

The Justice Secretary is by far considered personal liason for the Superior Courts to the Emperor himself and is usually appointed by the Superior Courts rather than the Emperor himself.  The position of Justice Secretary is considered more of a position under the Department of Justice rather than the State Department and has yet to officially be recognised as so, laws are currently going through to transfer the position from the State Department to the Justice Department.  The current Justice Secretary is Herbert Conrad.


 * Congressional Secretary: The Congression Secretary serves at the discretion of the Emperor and is responsible for relations between Congress and the Imperial Leadership and its cabinet. The Congressional Secretary holds no executive authority and is primarily a liason of Congressional sorts for the Congress to the Emperor himself.  With agreement between the Emperor and Congress, the Congressional Secretary is primarily appointed by Congress itself not only to clearly get messages through but to have better relations between the Emperor and Congress itself.  The Congressional Secretary is not under any department of the Executive Cabinet and is usually held mostly by a member of Congress, such as a Senator.  In a rare form, Kaplechistan's own Senate Chancellor has once held the position before in the case of when Emperor William Hamil II made himself temporary Supreme Commander to have a more direct control of the Imperial Military.  The current Congressional Secretary is Nicholas Johnson, who is also a senior ranking member in the Kaplechistani Senate.
