Provinces

The provinces (Packilvanian: leDominmne) have considerable autonomy over their internal affairs and operate more like a federation.

The Governor (Packilvanian: muMeer) is the head of government. He is appointed by the Sultan (Packilvanian: muShultan) at his pleasure. He in turn appoints a Provincial Council of Ministers (Packilvanian: luMijhalis luDominmne aleVazeer) . The Provincial Council of Ministers consists of a Premier (Packilvanian: muVazeer muBas aluDominmne) and Provincial Ministers (Packilvanian: leVazeer aluDominmne). The Premier and the Provincial Ministers oversee the daily running of the provincial government. Each Provincial Minister controls a department and oversees an area of provincial policy. The Provincial Council of Ministers proposes provincial laws to the Provincial Legislature (Packilvanian: luKhanoniyat aluDominmne).

The Provincial Legislature comprises the Governor, the Provincial Legislative Council (Packilvanian: luMijhalis luDominmne aluKhanon) and the Provincial Consultative Assembly (Packilvanian: luMijhalis luDominmne aluSharif). The Provincial Consultative Assembly meets once a year to discuss provincial issues, approve the provincial budget, and listen to the State of the Province Address. It has the power to issue recommendations and publish reports. The Provincial Legislative Council has the power to debate and approve provincial laws. The Governor can sign provincial laws on behalf of the Sultan (who by law retains sole authority to create laws in the country). The Governor can recommend a law to the Sultan to veto.

The Sultan controls the composition of the Provincial Legislatures by Decree. The Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister for Provincial Affairs is responsible for administering the selection of the members of the Legislatures. Members have immunity when serving in their roles for the things they say insofar as they do not insult the Sultan, Royal family or commit blasphemy.

Members of the Provincial Consultative Assembly are appointed in diverse ways. Some members represent academic, religious, business and other groups recognised by the sate while others can apply for positions. Some members are randomly selected from the population and invited to participate. Members are selected in such a way as to ensure that various geographic, ethnolinguistic, and income groups are represented. A minimum of 30% of the members must be women and 40% must be between the ages of 25 and 35. The Provincial Government is responsible for funding and managing the logistics of the annual meeting of the PCA.

The PLC consists of Princes and Princesses of the Bedonite dynasty, members of the Association of the Friends and Veterans of the Carriers of Mercy, Magisters of the Magisterium of Paxism, members of the nobility of Packilvania, representatives of selected organisations and groups who hold their positions ex officio as well as representatives of the local governments of Packilvania. A minimum of 15% of the members must be women and a minimum of 20% to 30% must be between the ages of 25 and 35.

The High Court (Packilvanian: luKhama luWaluf) of each province has the power to strike down provincial laws which violate the Constitution (Packilvanian: luKhanongur) or a national law. The High Court is appointed by the Sultan. the Judicial Appointments Commission (Packilvanian: luKomishyon aleWzaf leQadimiyat) makes recommendations to the Sultan. Each province has a committee dedicated to screening candidates for it.

Each province has the power to set its own budget with the appropriations framework set by the national government. Each province is responsible for dispensing funds to lower levels of government. Provincial governments have the power to direct or constrain expenditures of lower levels of government within the remit allowed by national law. Provincial governments control education, healthcare, law enforcement, nature conservation, housing and urban development, agriculture and land use, fishing, forestry, electricity, sanitation, internal transportation and water, among others. Provinces receive some funding from the national government but they can raise some taxes within the limits set by national law.
