Privy Counsellors are entitled to the post-nominal letters of PC (Am) and the style of Right Honourable.

The Privy Council in America covers all executive and administrative orders for both the North American Union and the Kingdom of Guyana, both Nations of the United British Commonwealth in the American subcontinents. It is divided into two Committees: the Guyana Executive Committee and the NAU Executive Committee. The GEC has the VP of the PCA, a Guyanese by custom, along with the other Guyanese Privy Counsellors and the Viceroy as Prince Regent, handling matters exclusive to Guyana, such as the declaration of war (with the monarch's assent), granting pardons, convening of the Guyanese legislature, diplomatic decisions, judicial appointments, gubernatorial appointments and nominations for the Viceroy or the Monarch to consider, etc.

The NAUEC covers all North American matters exclusively, including approving legislation passed by the Dependencies of Bermuda and San Andres. The role of the Privy Council was to advise and approve all acts made by the monarch and/or the Viceroy, such as the declaration of war (with the monarch's assent), granting pardons, convening of the general legislature, diplomatic decisions, judicial appointments, gubernatorial appointments and nominations for the Viceroy or the Monarch to consider, etc.

Both executive committees jointly together handle common Imperial matters that affect both of them, such as the accession of a new monarch or royal marriages, acting as the Whole Privy Council. There is also a Peerages and Baronetage Claims Committee, consisting of 17 persons, 9 peers and 8 baronets as honourary privy counsellors, with subcommittees for the type of claim to review. There is also a General Peerage and Baronetcies Advisory Committee, reviewing and preparing the list of peers and baronetcies to create from the nominations from the provincial peerage and baronetage advisory councils. In the typical provincial honours, peerage and baronetage advisory council (HPBAC), senior judges, clerks of the provincial councils, chancellors of the major universities, and the heads of the heritage, culture and arts councils in each of the provinces and territories are charged with compiling a list of candidates for a peerage; based on a criteria of exceptional service or merit performed for their province in areas like science or the arts for example, or through their actions, have repeatedly demonstrated high standards of military or civilian service. The typically offered peerage is a life peerage of a barony, and the typically offered hereditary title nowadays is a baronetcy. Knighthoods are of course the most commonly awarded title is knight/dame.

In some extraordinary cases where the Prince Regent is granted some emergency royal prerogatives and duties in case something happens to the British monarch and royal family requires a majority of the PCA to act, where it becomes the special Active Regency Committee.

There is the Judicial Committee that oversees the various federal-level administrative tribunals and sets common procedure on administrative law of the General Union, and is the final court of appeal for Settlements and Dependencies of the Union and/or Guyana (the JC consisting of all of the listed Judges of the PC in A). The PCA meets at President-General's House in Philadelphia. Its precursor entity was the General Council of State before adopting a closer format of the British constitution with a separate advisory council to the viceregent of the Union and a separate upper house of the legislature. Special Judicial Committees can be raised to handle special legal reviews, usually staffed by Extraordinary Privy Counsellors of former senior judges from the provinces or the general court system.

Orders-in-Council types:
- Prerogative Orders-in-Council pertain to executions of the royal prerogatives of the Sovereign. This would mean things like granting mercy for convicted persons, or international affairs (like declaring war)
- Statutory Orders-in-Council pertains to secondary legislation issued per an Act of the General Parliament. It usually means issuing rules and regulations that are authorized from general topic primary legislation.
- Proclamations are made under the Great Seal of the Union regarding a matter that the Privy Council desires to make known to all American subjects; Proclamations made in furtherance of the executive power of the Crown, are binding on the subject, "where they do not either contradict the old laws or tend to establish new ones, but only confine the execution of such laws as are already in being in such matter as the sovereign shall judge necessary" (Blackstone), while other proclamations which although not made in pursuance of the executive powers of the Crown, either call upon the subject to fulfill some duty which they are by law bound to perform, or to abstain from any acts or conduct already prohibited by law, are lawful and right, and disobedience to them (while not of itself a misdemeanour) is an aggravation of the offence. Proclamations are used to govern conquered areas or areas of occupation needing the military authority to administer them, and bring Dependencies and Settlements under General Law and issue ordinances. The Viceroy can issue Proclamations on routine matters (such as prorogation, dissolution, elections, or recognition of holidays) but needs the advice and consent of the Privy Council on major policy decisions (namely what the PM and General Cabinet decides).
- The Viceroy makes All-Union Administrative Arrangement Orders on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Privy Council formally allocating executive responsibility among ministers. AAOs establish General Departments of State and other High Executive Offices under the Terms of Union and primary legislation constituting a general department of state or some executive office, including the principal matters and legislation dealt with by each Department and its Minister(s). The AAO is generally only updated when functions move between departments, ordering "machinery of government" changes.
- Privy Counsellors have a right of audience with the Viceroy, though this evolved to a few Ministers being able to meet with the Viceroy on important matters such as acts of mercy, and of course, the PM meeting with the Viceroy to hear the warnings, encouragement, and consultations of the Viceroy.
- The Privy Council Office is led by the Under-Secretary of the Union (double hatted as the Clerk of the Privy Council in America), the most senior civil servant and head of the General Civil Service. The PCO acts as the secretariat to the General Cabinet and the Privy Council and provides non-partisan advice and support to the NAU and Guyanese ministries, as well as leadership, coordination, and support to the departments and agencies of governments.

The NAU General Cabinet collectively takes responsibility for policy coordination within the NAU General Government. It is supported by the Privy Council Office, based at The Old Campus in Germantown. While the General Parliament is in session, Cabinet meets weekly. Normally meetings are held on Tuesday afternoons in Cadogan House, the official residence of the Prime Minister. Members of the NAU General Cabinet receive red ministerial despatch boxes for their use while in office.

Ministers of the Crown attend Cabinet meetings and each Minister is in charge of a General Department, and report to the PM and Parliament. Associate Ministers are junior ministers in charge of particular subordinated administrations or groups of government agencies and offices for particular purposes or special issues on an ad-hoc basis.

Secretaries of State are the senior civil servants of the General Departments of State, serving as the non-partisan heads for policy implementation and deputy heads of Departments. Secretaries of state take political direction from a minister of the Crown, who is typically an elected member of Parliament and responsible for the department. A secretary of state has responsibility for a department's day-to-day operations, budget, and program development. They are assisted by an Undersecretary of State and Assistant Undersecretaries of State.

Principal Secretaries for the Prime Minister and the Ministers are the senior political aides, leading the political staff for each Minister of the Crown. They advise their Minister on political optics, policy development, parliamentary business, constituency matters, political appointments and nominations, and political staff management.

The HM North American Government (HMNAG) is responsible for effectively appointing a board of directors to run public bodies and heads of executive offices and agencies; the House of Commons and the General Legislative Council are involved in the nomination process officially but the General Cabinet effectively appoints these positions. The Office of the All-Union Commissioner for Public Appointments is responsible for regulating the process of appointments made by Ministers of the Crown and Junior Ministers to boards of public bodies and to singular appointments to executive agencies and other public bodies. Each type of government agency is listed with differing degrees of independence from the government and whether or not they have civil servants or not.

Executive agencies have budgets and are subordinate to ministers, and are dependent on ministers advocating for their agency to get funding and personnel. They are typically seen as the stronger, pushier type of government agency that also actively implements and creates policy and regulations.

Public bodies are assigned "sponsoring departments", from the General Departments, that provide funding in the form of grant-in-aid to assist with running costs and capital investment. Most public bodies also have other sources of income (for example the Royal Botanic Garden Philadelphia receives income from charging the public to visit the greenhouses in its gardens).

Agencies and bodies designated as "All-Union", "North American", "Union", "American" or "NAU" in some way are meant to serve with a nationally integrating or coordinating focus and purpose for all North Americans, serving at both the general and provincial levels. Special administrative hiring and examination rules and procedures exist for these "nationally" designated bodies and agencies, where they are hired and examined by the general government but placed into provincial and EPR cadres to develop a cooperative and coordinating ethos with relevant provincial agencies and bodies through general-provincial task forces, initiatives, individual secondments, and working groups. Agencies and Bodies designated as "General" or "Inter-Provincial" are meant to be more under the direct control of the general government and are separate from the provincial governments; though cooperation with relevant provincial agencies and bodies is still present it's more on an inter-agency basis by necessity. Note that while the All-Union Courts are the general-level courts, they do hear appeals from provincial courts and there is a North American general common law developed since Union. Also note that some general civil officers are designated as "All-Union" because of the ending suffix "-general" in some of their titles but also because of their national importance. For the cabinet level, "General" is used for the government department while "All-Union" is used for the ministerial portfolio to reflect national importance.
