Cabinet Guide

Every cabinet seat in A House Divided is a real executive office with its own dashboard, metrics, and levers. This guide is the live reference for every country's cabinet: pick a country tab below to see each post in succession order, the metrics it influences, and every action it can take.

How cabinets are filled#

• Presidential systems (US, NG): the President nominates and the legislature confirms. See Cabinet and the confirmation process.
• Parliamentary systems (UK, DE, JP, IE): the head of government appoints ministers directly after Government Formation, with no confirmation vote. The whole cabinet resets when the government changes. China is a one-party state, not a parliamentary cabinet. Scotland and Wales are latent countries; they are not live player cabinets.

What ministers can do#

Each seat combines some of the following levers, all detailed per post in the reference below:

• Tier settings: a standing national policy stance that applies passive per-turn metric effects. Free to hold, switchable at any time.
• Regional targets: pick one region for focused per-turn effects, sometimes at a small cost to every other region.
• Emergencies: one-off interventions that cost a ministerial action and deliver a large temporary effect for a fixed number of turns.
• Allocations: divide a national funding pool across regions.
• Advocacy: territorial seats can petition for their region, granting a standing boost while active.
• Bond profiles: finance seats set the maturity split of sovereign debt issuance.
• Buildings: most seats can build persistent assets in regions: portfolio estates (schools, hospitals, embassies, and more), power plants on the energy seat, or multi-turn infrastructure projects on the transport seat. See Cabinet Projects & Buildings.

Active mechanics spend ministerial actions (cabinet actions in presidential systems). Actions refill daily and cap at 4.
