The effect of these powers is that legislation on the same matter can vary substantially between provinces and provinces exercise a high degree of latitude in their internal affairs. For instance, Fidakar organises its local government into prefectures, regions, and counties while Mekedesh has one system for cities and another for rural provinces. Each province has its own healthcare system, meaning some provinces have better healthcare, more minimum benefits or different contribution schemes for their residents than others. Some provinces have different rates of corporate and personal income tax. Some provinces have restrictions on internal migration especially from rural to urban areas. In many areas which affect one or more provinces, the National Government plays a coordinating role. For instance, although each province has their own healthcare system, vaccinations and medications are approved at nation level and patents are recognised nationally. |

==Executive Branch== |
|||
The executive branch of each province is responsible for implementing the laws passed by both the Parliament of Packilvania and the Provincial Legislature. The executive branch consists of the Provincial Council of Ministers and the Provincial Governor. |
|||
=== Provincial Governor === |
|||
The Provincial Governor is appointed by the Sultan of Packilvania. The Sultan is not obligated to listen to the recommendations of any person or entity when making his appointment The Provincial Governor does not have a fixed term. The Sultan can dismiss them as he pleases. However the Provincial Government Reform Act passed in 2023, stipulates that Governors above the age of 65 must resign or their term is deemed to automatically come to an end. The Sultan has never appointed someone who was not a Prince of the Bedonite dynasty as a Governor but this is not a convention that is required by or has the force of law. |
|||
The Provincial Legislature can conduct a process known as an impeachment which advises the Sultan on whether the Sultan should be dismissed. This entails holding public hearings, gathering evidence, and composing and submitting a report to the Sultan. This report is passed as a non-binding resolution. This allows the Khanoniyat to make request to subpoena witnesses, documents and other artefacts pertinent to their investigation. |
