A Prime Minister is the head of the cabinet and often also the chief executive of a parliamentary democracy. A person who can replace Prime Minister if he/she is not capable to perform his functions is Deputy Prime Minister.
Though an unofficial title in eRepublik, some countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, choose to call their President, "Prime Minister", in order to stick with real life national political systems. It became a political title after it being proposed by one of the citizens.
Exceptions
India and Slovakia
Some counties, notably India and Slovakia, have Prime Ministers being the head of a Cabinet, however is not the Chief Executive (e.g. President) of the country. Effectively the Prime Minister in this situation takes on a Deputy role of the Nation.
Netherlands
Apart from having a President, Prime Minister was a separate job in the (United) Netherlands where the title Prime Minister was used for the head of the Cabinet, which was defacto also head of state. Cabinets were formed after congress elections and the leader of the biggest party forms a coalition with other parties to form a Cabinet. This coalition decided who would be Prime Minister. This position was considered more than or equally imporant as Country President. The president was more seen as a military and symbolic position. After a year of debating and experimenting in October 2010 this position was disbanded when the last Prime Minister Daniel Parker changed the constitution in favor of a semi-CP-government (CP is head of government, but his powers are limited by the congress). read more about this subject here
Croatia and Italy
In Croatia and Italy, the Prime minister is the Vice president not the country leader.
