== Politics ==
Jumhurikesh has been devolved powers to make laws over a wide range of topics and to manage its internal affairs by the [[Politics of Packilvania|Imperial Government]] through legislation passed by the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] and promulgated by the [[Sultan of Packilvania]]. The Meer is appointed by the Sultan at his pleasure and he in turn appoints the Premier and Provincial Council of Ministers who handle the daily running of the province, anf the execution and proposal of laws. The legislative branch consists of the Provincial Legislature (which has an appointed upper house called the Legislative Council and a lotterial lower house called the Representative Assembly) and the Meer who promulgates provincial laws. The judicial branch consists of courts appointed and controlled by the Imperial Government, the highest of which is the High Court of Jumhurikesh.
Jumhurikesh was one of the first provinces to be conquered by the [[Carriers of Mercy]] at the beginning of the [[History of Packilvania#Second Packilvanian Civil War|Second Packilvanian Civil War]] and was under their administration for approximately 9 years before the Sultanate of Packilvania was formally reestablished in 1985. During that time, Jumhurian political thinkers joined the Carriers of Mercy and assumed important positions within its ranks. Many of their ideas, such as implementing a modern form of the medieval consultative bodies formed of everyday citizens through lotterial selection were proliferated throughout the country.
Unlike many provinces in the country, significant legislative and executive decision making power is devolved to the Regional Governments. This stems from historical roots because Jumhurikesh was founded from the amalgamation of independent polities which maintained relatively distinct identities because they spoke different dialects of [[Packilvanian]] and consisted of distinct [[Feline]] ethnic groups. These regional difference persisted despite [[Packilvanian Communist Party|Communist]] attempts at assimilation. Part of the reason that the Carriers were able to conquer Jumhurikesh so quickly despite its size and population was their deferrence to the regional politics of the province and respecting the ethnolinguistic differences of its constituent parts. Thus, unlike many provinces, regional politics play a significant part in policy formation, appointments to political positions and the spread of political power.
Notably, unlike other provinces where a substantial part of the province's Legislative Council consist of representatives of local governments (i.e., governments at city or town level), in Jumhurikesh, it consists of regional representation based loosely on population. Because the provincial government has devolved so much power to the regions, the provincial government bodies exert less control and therefore possess less involvement in the day to day running of most of the province except in specific areas such as taxation, a power that the provincial government exercises sparingly resulting in low tax rates and simultaneously few social welfare services with much of the government budget devoted to basic government functions. Thus, Jumhurikesh also has a relatively small government and civil service and laissez-faire approach to regulating the economy compared to most of the country.
