The government of Mekedesh consists of the following branches:
The provincial government of Mekedesh is established by the Constitution of Packilvania (''luKhanongur aBakhilfaniya''). The Provincial Government Act further expands on and defines the powers of the provincial government.


* Legislative: The ''Khanoniyat'' (Legislature) consists of the ''Mijhalis aluKhanonifiya'' (Legislative Council, the appointed upper house with 150 members) and the ''Mijhalis ameShabil'' (Representative Council, the lower houses selected by lottery that consist of 350 members).
The Governor (''muMeer'') is the head of the government. He has the power to appoint the Premier and the Executive Council and to direct and determine policy for the government. He signs the laws passed by the Provincial Legislative Assembly and can ask the Sultan to veto them. The Premier (''muVazeer muBas aluDominmne'') runs the government and chairs the Executive Council.
* Executive: The ''Meer'' (Governor) who appoints the ''Rayeesgur aluDominimne'' (Premier) who presides over the ''Mijhalis aluDominmne ameVazeer'' (Provincial Council of Ministers).
* Judicial: The ''Khama luWaloof'' (High Court) is the highest court as well as other courts.


The Governor is appointed by the [[Sultan of Packilvania]]. The incumbent Governor is His Imperial Highness, Prince Nakhim a-Besmali Bedon who was appointed by [[Thumim V]] in 2023. The Governor serves until he does, resigns, retires at the age of 65 or is dismissed by the Sultan. Although the Governor is appointed by the Sultan at his discretion, he normally consults with members of the Bedonite dynasty and senior officials in that province to select a province. Usually, Princes with roots in the province will have a meeting with the Sultan where they will nominate candidates and give their opinions on the Sultan's top picks. This can including closed door one on one negotiations to secure the spot for themselves or their preferred candidate. Although Princes are not elected, in practice do represent constituencies within the government, civic society and business community that can enable more politically popular Princes to be nominated and potentially selected. Loyalty to the Sultan can also play a big role as Governors not only oversee the running of the Province but they also translate the directives of the Sultan and the broader Bedonite dynasty into state policies.
The Provincial Legislative Assembly (''luMijhalis lukhanon aBakhilfaniya'') is appointed by the Sultan and many of its members serve in their positions ''ex officio''. They work part-time and pass laws within the framework of the powers allocated to the province. The High Court (''luKhama luBas'') is appointed by the Sultan. It is headed by the Judge President.

Normally the Governor will consult with the Legislative Council to select the Premier. Various constituencies typically present their nominations, whom the Governor and his team assess and appraise. Usually the Governor will appoint the candidate who enjoys the confidence and support of a large share of the Legislative Council. The Provincial Legislature passed the Executive Appointment Act to regulate this process. Normally members will nominate candidates and vote on them, whittling them down to two choices and the Chairperson of the Legislative Council will present the candidate to the Governor.
