The [[Zubraynite dynasty]] was deposed by the [[Demirite dynasty]] (originating from [[Fidakar]] and led by [[Saidun the Conqueror]]) in the 17th century CE, which established overseas territorial holdings which today comprise [[Commonwealth of Albanares|Albanares]], [[Sorentavia]], [[Hadena]] and [[North Crencello]]. Inspired by the ideals of [[Nikobar Luden]], the [[Demirite dynasty]] was deposed by the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] led by [[Gideon Muktan]] in 1918 following the [[Great War]] and botched personal union with [[Great Morstaybishlia]] under [[Zerah Demir IV]]. Originating from [[Ukanar]] and led by Sultan [[Amhoud I]], the [[Bedonite dynasty]] (at the head of [[Carriers of Mercy]]) deposed the [[Specism|specist]] Communist regime in 1985, reestablished a theocratic absolute monarchy under the [[Sultan of Packilvania]] (currently [[Thumim V]] aided by the [[Prime Minister of Packilvania|Prime Minister]] and to be succeeded by the [[Crown Prince of Packilvania|Crown Prince]]), entered into a personal union with [[Drakkengard]] known as [[Pax-Draconica]] and [[Tasselvalta War|annexed Tasselvalta in 2010]].
Comprised of [[Administrative divisions of Packilvania|9 provinces]] and [[Antimovo & Samokov|1 overseas territory]], it spans an area of over 6.134 million km² (approximately 2.372 million miles²), it is the
Today, Packilvania is a newly industrialised emerging market (as per the [[Packilvanian Development Index]]) and a developing nation (according to the [[Auroran Monetary Fund]]) that is the [[List of countries by GDP (nominal)|3rd largest economy in the world by nominal GDP]], the largest by PPP GDP and the [[Packilvanian dinar]] is a [[Reserve currency|world reserve currency]]. Coupled with the fact that it is a [[nuclear weapons state]], and its military, the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]], has the [[List of countries by military expenditure|third largest military budget]] and [[List of countries by number of military personnel|third highest number of military personnel]] in the world, it is considered a [[W:Superpower|superpower]]. Nevertheless, the [[foreign relations of Packilvania]] remain fraught (despite being part of the [[International Forum]]) partly due to ideological differences and the support of terrorists by the [[Packilvanian Expeditionary Force]]. Under [[Intelligence agencies of Packilvania|several intelligence agencies]], it is [[Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania|one of the most heavily surveilled countries in the world]], in part giving rise to a comparably poor [[Sapient rights in Packilvania|sentient rights record]] with the country [[Freedom in the World|ranked among the least free in the world]]. Despite possessing a nominally independent [[Judiciary of Packilvania|judiciary]] and [[Parliament of Packilvania|Parliament]], the [[Sultan of Packilvania|Sultan]] and [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania|Council of Ministers]] control the state and the [[law of Packilvania]] represses political opposition. With a population of over 1.1 billion people, it is the [[List of countries by population|most populous]], [[Religion in Packilvania|religiously diverse]] and ethnically diverse nations in the world (despite being majority inhabited by [[Packilvanian]] speaking [[Feline|Felines]]) and its [[Cities of Packilvania|largest city]], [[Bingol]], is the second largest metropolitan area and third [[International Financial Centres Index|alpha world finance centre]] after [[Sani Bursil]], and [[Kemer]] is a [[International Technology Centres Index|major global tech hub]].

The politics of Packilvania take place in the framework of a devolved theocratic authoritarian dictatorship under a constitutional monarchy. The Constitution of Packilvania is the founding law of the modern state and was passed by the Constituent Assembly in 1985 following the end of the [[Second Packilvanian Civil War]], which consisted of representatives of the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] and the [[Carriers of Mercy]]. It provided for a three branch government under the control of the [[Sultan of Packilvania]] and by extension the [[Bedonite dynasty]] and underpinned by [[Paxism]] as taught by the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] as follows:
* [[W:Legislature|Legislative branch]]: [[Parliament of Packilvania]] consists of the appointed upper house with all the political power, the Legislative Council, and the lower house selected by lottery, the Consultative Assembly.
* [[W:Executive|Executive branch]]: The [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]] composed of the [[Prime Minister of Packilvania]] as the chair thereof and the Ministers of the Crown who head executive departments
* [[Judiciary of Packilvania|Judiciary]]: The [[Supreme Court of Packilvania]], as chaired by the [[Chief Justice of Packilvania]], and other courts.
The reigning Sultan is [[Thumim V]], the [[List of Packilvanian heads of state|4th monarch since the end of Communist rule]]. He succeeded [[Namdun III]], his father, in 2021 and was [[Coronation and Wedding of Thumim V and Saga of Tynam|crowned in January 2022]]. His consort is the [[Sultana of Packilvania]], [[Saga of Tynam]]. The heir presumptive is [[Prince Abuyin]] however due to a ruling by the [[Council of State]] (which settles succession disputes), the position of the [[Crown Prince of Packilvania]] is currently vacant. Succession is by [[W:Agnatic primogeniture|agnatic primogeniture]]. His official residence is the [[Bingol Royal Palace]], a [[ICHO|world heritage site]]. The incumbent Prime Minister is [[Prince Luwadeen]] who was appointed by Namdun III in 2011.
The Legislative Council (based at the [[Palace of Parliament]]) passes all the laws which must receive the [[Royal assent|Sultan's imperial assent]], and consists of representatives of various spheres of government, [[Priesthood of Paxism|clergy]], [[Packilvanian Armed Forces|military]] and royal family, while the Consultative Assembly meets once a year for two weeks to hear the State of the Empire Address from the Prime Minister and consists of everyday citizens chosen by lots. Although the Parliament is the highest law-making body, almost all laws are proposed by the executive branch and there are no elections at national level. While the country has a [[Nobility of Packilvania|system of titled peerage]], it does not play a formal role in the government. The [[Provinces of Packilvania|provinces]] have been delegated substantial legislative and administrative autonomy.
The country has an independent judiciary, with Farmahad Wasoon as the incumbent Chief Justice and head of the judicial branch. [[Law enforcement in Packilvania]] is handled at various levels and the country maintains an [[Imperial Procuratorate|inquisitorial criminal justice system]]. Packilvania has a notably poor [[Sapient rights in Packilvania|sapient rights record]], ranking poorly in the [[Freedom of the World]] index due to lack of electoral democracy at the national level (notably the ban on political parties), suppression of political dissent (especially through [[Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania|surveillance and censorship]], and lackadaisical protection of sapient rights, and is accused of political and military interventionism e.g., through the [[Packilvanian Expeditionary Force]]. Nevertheless, it remains globally influential, having served on the Security Council of the [[International Forum]].

[[Universities in Packilvania]] produce highly skilled scientists and engineers. The country has been a leading source of scientific and industrial research and development despite being a developing country. Nevertheless, there are areas in which Packilvania lags behind larger and more developed economies such as [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[South Hills]]. Despite having the third largest nominal expenditure on research and development, per capita expenditure is only slightly above average.
The [[Space Agency of Packilvania]] (''luAjhensia aluHiva aBakhilfaniya'') is responsible for overseeing the terrestrial and extraterrestrial telescope infrastructure of the country. Packilvania is one of the few countries capable of launching vehicles into space and often leases its space ports in [[Antimovo & Samokov]] to foreign nations. Furthermore, the country has contributed to international space research programs. The Atomic Research Agency of Packilvania (''luAjhensia aluBahath aleDharat aBakhilfaniya'') is the government agency in charge of civilian nuclear research and some of its programs include maintaining one of the largest particle colliders in the world, the [[Sultan Namdun III Particle Accelerator]]. The country is also home to some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and it has made quantum computing, simulation and measurement, priorities for its forthcoming five-year plans.
Packilvania has also extensively contributed to research and development in biology. This includes the development of pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and irrigation techniques, genetically modified crops, vaccines, and cancer research. The [[Fidal Prize]] for Mathematics awards the most accomplished mathematicians with special attention paid to people who can solve the so called [[w:Millennium problems|Millennium Problems]]. The [[Shameel Prize]] in Chemistry, Engineering and Computer Sciences is also a highly prestigious prize for the recognition of scientific achievements.
