ERI Presents: Every Minister Ever
Good Evening, or Morning Europeia, this article represents the culmination of multiple weeks of work compiling data on cabinet positions in Europeia. This was obviously used in a more specific matter for my previous article
How Often Does The Senate Reject Cabinet Nominees? but here, I'll be providing the entirety of cabinet members for the duration of Europeia's history, at least according to the senate archives. Additionally, in terms of the time in position statistic I'll note that they may not be entirely accurate as I just used the date of the next nominee rather than track down a million resignation posts that could be anywhere. Regardless, here we go!
Above you can see a graph of the top 20 cabinet members in terms of days served. CSP has a sizeable lead over the region's founder HEM with over 200 days more in the cabinet. It's interesting to note that all of the top 14 have, or had ovations (with hy's and Anumia's being revoked). Writinglegend in particular is hurt the most by his time in the Presidency as he only comes in 6th in terms of time in the cabinet itself. You can scroll through a breakdown of everyone and their time in particular
here.
Moving on to the particular positions, we shall begin with
Culture, which is our longest running position, existing from the very begining of Europeia. Interestingly enough, Gustavus Adolphus Rex, someone who I was entirely unaware of until I began this project is the longest serving culture minister with their tenure coming in 2011-12 and notably never served in any other cabinet position. In second place is Drexlore Greyjoy who served dualy in 2013 and 2017 in this role, followed by the most recent person on the list DAX, who notably put in 3 consecutive terms earlier this year. Also interestingly, PLX comes in 5th, with culture being the cabinet position he held the longest in his reputable Europeian carear. Finally, in comparision to the other 3 longstanding Europeian positions Culture has the most diversity with over 66 unique nominees, likely due to the longheld perception that is a great place to slot a newcomer.
The next highest is
Foriegn Affairs, which like culture has been around under one name or another throughout Europeia's entire existence. The top five are shown bellow, with traditional FA heavyweights Anumia and CSP taking the top two spots. They are curiously followed by Lethen, who evidently was the top choice for the foreign affairs position in the very early days of the region (2007-2008). Around that same time and swaping in and out with Lethen is Cordova I with Sopo, due to mostly recent terms, coming in fifth. Foreign affairs is much less likely to have new faces as despite being around for just as long as culture, it only has about half the unique nominees at 39.
The third position that has basically been around since Europeia's inception is that of
Grand Admiral. As you can see the vast lionshare of this goes to CSP who spent almost 60% of his time in cabinet in this particular position. He is followed by other longtime GA's in Kraken and WL along with the early work of Lethen and HEM, who has boosted his numbers by stepping in to fill this role again in 2019. GA is evidently even less accessible than Foreign Affairs with only 33 unique nominees over the course of Europeian history.
The fourth most present position is
Attourney General. Drecq clearly has a massive lead above everyone else, essentially swapping back and forth with Malashaan from 2013 to 2017. This top five also contains another Europeian who I was not aware existed, Peaceful Llamas, who served as AG for the majority of 2012. Finally, AG is about as accessable as the Grand Admiral position with approximately 35% of the nominations being unique or new people. You can also obviously see this fact by the top holders having double or tripple the top compared to a ministry like culture.
The fifth most present position is
Communications. Recently ovated Kuramia comes out on top with Calvin Coolidge and Punchwood, now Lime, following. Notably these numbers sqew towards recent times and Comms, or as it was founded, the Ministry of Media did not exist in the Europeian cabinet until 2011. In terms of accesibility MinComm is right up there with Culture having, 33 out of a total of 52 nominations be unique for a total of 63%, slightly shy of Culture's 64%.
The sixth most present position is
Interior. This ministry suffers from being split up and then re-merged over the years. With Recruitment, Integration, Immigration and Welcoming all being seperate entities over Europeia's existence. In terms of Interior itself though famed recruiter Asperta comes out on top in terms of service. He is followed by Aex who held the position for two terms in 2016 after his long absence from the region. He is followed by an aray of more recent ministers since about the 2014. In terms of accessibility, Interior also ranks pretty high with 49 out of 76 holders being unique, tyeing Culture for the highest percentage of 64%.
The second to last position is
World Assembly Affairs. A relatively new ministry since 2016, this has been heavily dominated by our present Delegate Aexnidaral Seymour. Followed by breifly former delegate Ervald and former delegate candidate Kaboom. Interestingly, if we disregard the fact that it has a much smaller sample size than the other ministries, it is hypothetically as accessible as Culture with 16 of 25 nominees being unique. Evidently, there were quite a few who served only one term as MoWAA and then never proceded to do so again.
The final position is
Radio, which is also a relatively new ministry, though it falls behind WAA due to it ocassionally being folded in and out of the Ministry of Culture. Interestingly enough, frequent Radio host Sopo, fails to make the cut for the top five and even more interesting, the now banned Cat, holds the lead over Calvin Coolidge by over a whole term to the present date. The Ministry of Radio consequently has a relatively low accessibility rate with 11 out of 25 nominees being unique (45%). That puts it above the foreign affairs side of thing but decisvely bellow it's fellow internal ministies.
That will about wrap it up for this article. Thank you for bearing with me through what might be a bit of a lengthy one. Oviously there is just oodles of data, and while I could slowly eek it out over time I've decided to share the spreadsheet with you all. That is located
here. In the spreadsheet you can see many of the piviot tables layed out to show the whole lists of the top in each position ect. Additionally, that link has the ability to make edits to the sheet so if you want to do any particular cross-anayis of the data included feel free. I've made a personal copy so you all do not need to worry about messing it up long term. Let me know in the comments or my DMS if you find anything super interesting before I do!
