The [[politics of Packilvania]] take place in the framework of a unitary parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. In reality [[Packilvania]] is a theocratic hereditary totalitarian dictatorship. The head of state and commander-in-chief of the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]] is [[Sultan of Packilvania]] currently [[Thumim V]] who is also the King of [[Drakkengard]] and the Caliph of [[Pax-Draconica]], succession to which is through agnatic primogenture of the legitimate male descendents of [[Amhoud I]] under the oversight of the [[Council of State]]. The head of government and chief of the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]] is the [[Prime Minister of Packilvania]], currently [[Prince Luwadeen]]. The legislative branch consists of the Sultan and the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] which consists of the Consultative Assembly and the Legislative Council, of which the latter has more law-making and oversight power while the former meets only once a year. The [[judiciary of Packilvania]], which includes courts for the minority [[Religion in Packilvania|religions of Packilvania]], is helmed by the Chief Justice, currently Prince Radeeq. [[Sapient rights in Packilvania]] are among the worst on [[Urth]], with the country ranking low in the [[Freedom in the World|Freedom of the World Index]].
The political culture of Packilvania is based on the Constitution of Packilvania, which is the highest [[law of Packilvania]]. It was passed in 1985 after the [[History of Packilvania#Second Packilvanian Civil War|Second Packilvanian Civil War]]. It vested substantial power in the [[Bedonite dynasty]] and [[Magisterium of Paxism]], making [[Paxism]] the state religion. The [[provinces of Packilvania]] gained autonomy over their internal affairs from the national government such as [[law enforcement in Packilvania]] and as well as the governance of the [[cities of Packilvania]]. Despite the absence of elections at provincial and national level, the new political system enabled common people to participate in the political and [[legislative process of Packilvania]] through public consultations on new bills as well as lottery-based participation in consultative bodies. Furthermore, political power was shared with a wider pool of groups, stemming from the dissolution of the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] and the [[Carriers of Mercy]] (a vestige of which exists as the [[Association of the Friends and Veterans of the Carriers of Mercy|Association of the Veterans and Friends of the Carriers of Mercy]]) and increased participation women such as the [[Sultana of Packilvania]]'s authority of the [[Imperial Court of Packilvania]].

The legislative branch consists of the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] (''luMijhalisgur aBakhilfaniya'') and the [[Sultan of Packilvania]].

The Legislative Council can summon Ministers of the Crown for questions, implement commissions of inquiry, hold public hearings, receive public comments on issues, and issue non-binding recommendations including removing members of the executive branch. The presiding officer of the Constituent Assembly is the Speaker of Parliament (''muTamak aluMijhalisgur'') while the presiding officer of the Legislative Council is the Chairperson (''muRayees aluKursun'').

The final court for appeals and the sole court with the power to review and strike down laws for their constitutionality is the [[Supreme Court of Packilvania]] (''luKhama luMakhnifiya aBakhilfaniya''). The court consists of the Chief Justice (''muQadim muMaharaj'') and over 30 Supreme Court Justices (''meQadim aluKhama luMakhnifiya''). Each province has a High Court (''luKhama luWaloof'') which consists of 9 Judge President (''muQadim muRayeesgur'') and over 300 High Court Justices (''meQadim aluKhama luWaloof'') and receives appeals from Magistrate Courts in their jurisdiction. The Religious Appeals Court (''luKhama aleQayeer leSlamiya'') receive appeals on religious cases including from minorities. All Justices (I.e., judges of an appellate court) are appointed by the Sultan on the recommendations of the Commission for Judicial Appointments (''leKhomishayin aleTabad leQadimishme'').
The lower courts are all courts of first instance. Magistrate Courts (''leKhama aleSharif'') are staffed by Magistrates (''leSharif leQadmam'') who are appointed and employed by the Imperial Department of Justice in terms of a framework by the Commission for Judicial Appointments. These courts exist at Regional (''Vilayet''), Municipal (''Shtar'') and District (''Qaray'') level, with decreasing powers of adjudication over criminal and civil cases while Religious Courts (''leKhama aluSlamiya'') handle religious issues. The Commission of Judicial Discipline (''luKhomishayin aluIndibat luQadimishme'') can receive and investigate complaints on the conduct of judges and magistrates and make recommendations on the dismissal of judges.
