== Departments==
Formally known as Imperial Departments (''leBawaab leShahitishme'' which directly translatedtranslates to "the Imperial Gate" in [[Packilvanian]]), departments are helmed by a Minister of the Crown (''muVazeer aluKhroon'' which directly translates to "Vizier of the Crown"). They are responsible for supporting the Minister to whom they are assigned, drafting legislation and regulations for that Minister to issue, conducting research and reporting on issues within the scope of the competence of the Minister to whom they are assigned, and overseeing the work of the other government entities under the purview of their Minister.
 
Most of these Departments took over from Commissariates of the Politburo of the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] in 1985 after the Second Packilvanian Civil War. Many Commissariates were abolished namely Population Control, Propaganda, Party Disciplinary Inspectorate. The types of Departments remained the same during the reigns of Sultans [[Amhoud I]], and [[Amhoud II]]. Sultan [[Namdun III]] raised 2 junior ministers in the Office of the Prime Ministers to Council of Minister level and appointed the first female Minister. Sultan [[Thumim V]] added 6 departments, 3 of which separated functions from existing Imperial Departments, and 2 were made standalone departments and moved 1 junior to another Minister. As of 24 December 2022, the Departments which comprise the Council of Ministers are as follows.
Line 154:
===Office of the Prime Minister===
Known in Packilvanian as ''luBuriy amuRayeesgur'', the Office of the Prime Minister supports the highest ranked member of the Council of Ministers, the [[Prime Minister of Packilvania]]. The Prime Minister chairs meetings of the Council of Ministers and supervises the work of the executive branch. To that end, the Office of the Prime Minister organises Council meetings, and publishes supporting documents such as minutes and agendas. Beyond acting as the de facto secretariat of the Council of Ministers, the Office of the Prime Minister oversees the Public Administration of Packilvania also known as the Civil Service.
 
Additionally, coordinating the affairs of the Council of Ministers. This can include preparing and communicating agenda and other documents for Council meetings, providing venues for Council meetings, coordinating with the Chairperson of the Legislative Council, Speaker of Parliament, and the [[Imperial Court]] for the presentation of the Speech from the Throne, publishing speeches and policy documents from the Prime Minister
 
=== Office of the Crown Prince ===
As of 24 December 2022, the Office of the Crown Prince is vacant. Known in Packilvanian as ''luBuriy amuMamlukmne muBas'', it is responsible for supporting the [[Crown Prince of Packilvania]] in the exercise of his duties. Under [[Namdun III]], the Office of the Crown Prince, also included the Deputy Crown Prince.
=== Office of the Special Advisor to the Sultan===
Founded on 24 December 2022 and known in Packilvanian as ''luBuriy amuNasih muIkhtimiy wemuShultan'', the Office of the Special Advisor to the Sultan is responsible for supporting the work of the Special Advisor to the Sultan who as of 24 December 2022 is former the Deputy Crown Prince, [[Prince Abuyin]]. This title and the accompanying office are reported by political analyst Jabeer Ilhameed of the Bingol Imperial University to have arisen because Sultan [[Thumim V]] did not want to appoint [[Prince Abuyin]], his younger brother and heir presumptive, as Crown Prince of Packilvania. It is reported that he wanted him to retain his ministerial post without assigning him to a specific portfolio.
 
This office includes the department of Imperial Affairs which is responsible for managing the relationship of the executive branch with the [[Imperial Court of Packilvania]] and the [[Sultan of Packilvania]].
=== Imperial Department of Justice ===
The Imperial Department of Justice known as ''luBawaab luShahitishme aluQadamiyat'' supports the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice is responsible for overseeing the work of the judicial branch, this includesincluding courts and parole boards, and advising the Council of Ministers on legal issues that it may encounter in the line of its work. This Department is directly responsible for employing Magistrates and Judges of Religious Courts based on the frameworks of the Commission for Judicial Appointments. Additionally, it can also dismiss Magistrates based on recommendations of the Commission for Judicial Discipline. Furthermore, it registers and oversees the Law Societies and Bar Associations which accredit the credentials of attorneys and advocates respectively. It formallyformerly oversaw law enforcement and correctional services, but these functions were transferred to the Imperial Department of Public Safety. This department provides administrative, human resource management, financial, security and other support for the judicial branch.
=== Imperial Department of Energy ===
Known as ''luBawaab luShahitishme aluBaraq'' in Packilvanian, the Imperial Department of Energy is helmed by the Minister of Energy, currently Prince Udahid. The Minister is responsible for overseeing the energy industry in the country. This entails oversight of power utilities. This Department had its oversight of mineral exploration and extraction severed in December 2022, except for its oversight of hydrocarbon exploration and extraction.
 
The National Hydrocarbon and Energy Regulator is part of this department and is responsible for drafting frameworks and policies that guide provincial governments in the issuing of hydrocarbon mining licenses on land, regulating the activitiesdistribution, ofstorage, power utilitiestransport and safety concerning hydrocarbons as well as hydrocarbon-based bodiespower utilities. Environmentalists such as the Coalition for Combating Climate Change have called for the powers of this regulator to be transferred to the Department of the Environment and Water.
 
 
Given that provincial governments have control mining and power production, transmission and distribution in their respective provinces, the National Electricity Coordinating Authority exists to facilitate the distribution of electricity including between provinces. This includes cross-border transmission lines and assisting provinces which struggle with power production to access production capacity in other provinces.▼

=== Imperial Department of State Security===
The Imperial Department of State Security (''luBawaab luShahitishme aluHimay aluSuvraan'') is headed by the Minister of State Security, currently Prince Lohadek. This department oversees the3 of 5 [[intelligence agencies of Packilvania]], namely the [[Packilvanian State Security Agency]], the Cyber and Telecommunications Security Agency, and the Foreign Intelligence Agency. It is the ''de facto'' pillar on which [[surveillance and censorship in Packilvania]] is built. The department is thus responsible for drafting policy with respect to intelligence and holding them accountable for their work.
 
The Minister also has the power to authorise certain types of operations as delineated by the ''Intelligence Community Consolidation and Regulation Act'' and related Decrees issued by the Sultan. The Office of the Intelligence Inspectorate (part of the department) audits, reviews, appraises and reports on the intelligence agencies to the Minister. Although the Sultan has the power to appoint and dismiss directors of these agencies, the Minister can make recommendations with respect to their appointment and has the power to order the dismissal of various senior members and to regulate the appointment of junior personnel.
=== Imperial Department of Defence ===
Arguably the largest single employer not only in [[Packilvania]] but [[List of countries by number of military personnel|in the world]], the Imperial Department of Defence (''luBawaab luShahitishme aluJaheed'') is responsible for oversight of and providing administrative support to the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]]. This includes human resource management, budgetary oversight, approval of projects and deployments, and procurement of the [[equipment of the Packilvanian Armed Forces]]. The incumbent Minister of Defence is [[Prince Kiran]].

The Imperial Department of Defence conducts research on military strategy, structures and other elements, proposes policies and legislation, and publishes reports with respect thereto. It also manages relationships with the militaries of other nations including sharing of technology and information, execution of joint exercises, management of overseas bases and facilities. Additionally, it also oversees the Military Intelligence Agency, one of the [[intelligence agencies of Packilvania]]. It also oversees the Military Science and Technology Research Agency (which conducts research and development for military applications), and the Office of the Military Inspectorate (which monitors and investigates complaints relating to the military).
 
=== Imperial Department of Foreign Affairs ===
Translated as ''luBawaab luShahitishme aleLaheed leZayeen'', the Imperial Department of Foreign Affairs supports the Minister of Foreign Affairs also known as the Foreign Minister, currently [[Prince Alawadun]]. The Department oversees the Diplomatic Service which consists of the ambassadors, consuls, and their embassies and consulates respectively who facilitate relationships with foreign nations.
(luBawaab luShahitishmealeZayeen)
 
This department also reviews, advises on and drafts treaties and international agreements for Packilvania. The Minister is often directly involved in high level negotiations pertaining to important negotiations with foreign nations. He can advise the Sultan on the appointment of ambassadors, the recognition of foreign nations, and the ratification of treaties with foreign nations.
 
The most controversial part of its work, according to several authors such as Dumeed Shalbaar in his book ''Friend or Foe: the Non-State Belligerent'', is the oversight of the [[Packilvanian Expeditionary Force]]. This is a paramilitary organisation with quasi-intelligence functions that supports and develops non-state belligerents and revolutionary movements, interferes in the internal and political affairs of other nations and eliminates foreign leaders among other functions.
=== Imperial Department of Education ===
(luBawaab luShahitishme aleMadrasifiya)
=== Imperial Department of Home Affairs ===
The Imperial Department of Home Affairs (''luBawaab luShahitishme aleDhakeel'') is responsible for population registration and management of relationships with local and provincial governments. This was arguably the most powerful department in the country after the Department of Defence because it formerly controlled social welfare, pensions, and labour relations, functions that were transferred to a dedicated department In December 2022.
(luBawaab luShahitishme aleDhakeel)
 
Unlike most departments, its work is direct-to-consumer. It has branches and offices throughout the country which facilitate its functions of registering and recognising deaths, births, emigration, naturalisation of new citizens, permanent residence status, marriage, transfer of titles of the [[nobility of Packilvania]], and associated activities. This can also encompass issuing accompanying licenses, certificates and identifying documents. Furthermore, it conducts a census of the population every 10 years, and uses data from hospitals and mortuaries etc. to estimate the annual population of Packilvania.
 
This department also employs the ''Rayees aluTamrir'' (Administrator) of all the local governments (the lowest of the [[administrative divisions of Packilvania]]). These officials are responsible for the technical management and administration of all the local governments in the country. Furthermore, it proposes legislation and policy with respect to the boundaries and powers of provinces and local governments. Through the Office of the Sub-national Inspectorate, it reviews and monitors all sub-national entities including [[Antimovo & Samokov]].
