{{Politics of Packilvania}}
The [[Provinces of Packilvania]] ([[Packilvanian]]: ''leDominmne aBakhilfaniya'') are the highest [[Administrative divisions of Packilvania|administrative divisions]] of [[Packilvania]] alongside the Autonomous Cities of [[Bingol]], [[Kemer]], Subakil, and Gezer. There are currently nine provinces: [[Ashura]], [[Fidakar]], [[Iganar]], [[Jumhurikesh]], [[Kharyat]], [[Mekedesh]], [[Rigaryat]], [[Shakar]], and [[Ukanar]]. The provinces are ruled by Provincial Governments which have been devolved certain powers through the Constitution of Packilvania and acts of Parliament as passed by the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] with the [[Royal assent|Imperial Assent]] of the [[Sultan of Packilvania]].
There are matters which are reserved to the National or Imperial Government such as the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]], the [[foreign relations of Packilvania]], the [[judiciary of Packilvania]], the [[Packilvanian dinar]] and the [[intelligence agencies of Packilvania]]. The Provincial Governments have the power to pass laws within the remit of the powers of Provinces through the Provincial Legislature. This is a bicameral body with two houses, of which the upper houses tends to have more power and is appointed either directly by the Sultan or his delegate or has members who hold their offices ex officio. By contrast the lower and less powerful House is selected by lottery.
The executive branch consists of the Provincial Governor, the Provincial Premier ant the Provincial Council of Ministers. The Provincial Governor is appointed by the Sultan and has the power to appoint the Provincial Premier and grant Imperial Assent to laws passed by the Provincial Legislature. The Premier presides and is the head of the Council of Ministers, whose members, the Provincial Ministers, preside over departments that implement and propose legislation and policy. The provinces have power over the local governments which rule the [[cities of Packilvania]] and their laws comprise part of the [[law of Packilvania]].
In the [[history of Packilvania]], some provinces were once independent nations (such as [[Fidakar]]), confederations of nations (such as [[Jumhurikesh]]) or territories of larger empires (such as [[Ashura]]). The borders and number of the provinces was fixed during the reign of the [[Demirite dynasty]]. The [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] inherited the provinces and significantly formalised their powers and structure such that when the [[Carriers of Mercy]] took over the country, the [[Bedonite dynasty]] simply built on and retained many of its systems. Of the subdivisions of the [[List of countries in Packilvanian|countries of Urth]], [[Fidakar]] competes for the spot of the most populous with [[Staynes]] in [[Great Morstaybishlia]].
