=== Political Structure of Grande-Kéya ===
The Republic of Qayam is one of two constituent entities in the State of Qayam, alongside the Khilafah. Since the 19XX constitution, the Khilafah has not had any political authority, and is relegated to a religious role. Though they are often presented as equal members within the state, the Republic has significant power over the Khilafah, including the ability to depose the Khalifah. These powers have never been invoked.
Grande-Kéya is comprised of the State of Kéya and the Overseas Territories.
==== State of Kéya ====
The State of Kéya is composed of the Kéyan Republic and the __ Caliphate.
===== Kéyan Republic =====
The Kéyan Republic is the largest, most populous, and most important constituent of Grande-Kéya. The President of the republic is the head of state. They are elected by simple majority by the members of the lower house. These members are elected by citizens of Kéya every five years. The lower house also appoints the members of the upper house.
Though the political system is styled similarly to a presidential republic, it resembles a parliamentary republic in function.
===== Caliphate =====
The __ Caliphate is a hereditary spiritual title that holds the leadership of the Hakikan faith. Its former temporal holdings formed the present Kéyan Republic and its overseas territories, which were relinquished in the transition to a full democracy. From a legal perspective, this entity only exists for the Hakikani.
The Caliph oversees Hakikani religious affairs throughout the world. They are advised by the Caliphal Council, which is composed of religious scholars elected by Hakikani. The Caliph issues non-binding religious edicts after consultation with the council.
==== Overseas territories ====
The Overseas Territories of Almâru, Asfadailla, and [Belle-Fortune] are led by individual Chancellors and their territorial assemblies. These assemblies have limited powers in matters of foreign relations and military affairs, which are handled by the Kéyan Republic. The President of Kéya is considered the head of state of the territories.
