== Provinces ==
The provinces ([[Packilvanian]]: ''leDominmne'') have considerable autonomy over their internal affairs and operate more like a federation.
 
=== Government ===
The Governor ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muMeer'') is the head of government. He is appointed by the Sultan ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muShultan'') at his pleasure. He in turn appoints a Provincial Council of Ministers ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luMijhalis luDominmne aleVazeer'') . The Provincial Council of Ministers consists of a Premier ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muVazeer muBas aluDominmne'') and Provincial Ministers ([[Packilvanian]]: ''leVazeer aluDominmne''). The Premier and the Provincial Ministers oversee the daily running of the provincial government. Each Provincial Minister controls a department and oversees an area of provincial policy. The Provincial Council of Ministers proposes provincial laws to the Provincial Legislature ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luKhanoniyat aluDominmne'').
Each province has a ''Suvraaniyat aluDominimne'' (Provincial Government). The ''luKhanongur'' designates the boundaries of the provinces, but provides that the ''Mijhalisgur'' (Parliament) and the ''Shultan'' (Sultan) shall pass statute which determine their powers and the structure of their governments. The ''Khanon aleRakhat nadine leMakhan aleDominmne'' (the Provincial Rights and Powers Act) is the primary source of legislation on the functions, powers and structure of the provincial governments. Each ''Suvraaniyat aluDominimne'' consists of three branches: executive, judicial and legislative.
 
The executive branch consists of the ''muMeer'' (Governor) and the ''Mijhalis aleVazeer aluDominimne'' (Provincial Council of Ministers also known as the ''Mijhalis'' for brevity). The ''Meer'' is appointed by the ''Shultan'' at ''Rahim amuMakhnifiya muShahitishme'' (His Imperial Majesty's Pleasure). This means that the ''Shultan'' may appoint and dismiss the ''Meer'' as he pleases. The ''Meer'' has the power to appoint and dismiss members of the ''Mijhalis'' as he pleases. He represents the province to the ''Suvraaniyat luShultaniyat'' (Imperial Government) and the ''Shultan''.
The Provincial Legislature comprises the Governor, the Provincial Legislative Council ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luMijhalis luDominmne aluKhanon'') and the Provincial Consultative Assembly ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luMijhalis luDominmne aluSharif''). The Provincial Consultative Assembly meets once a year to discuss provincial issues, approve the provincial budget, and listen to the State of the Province Address. It has the power to issue recommendations and publish reports. The Provincial Legislative Council has the power to debate and approve provincial laws. The Governor can sign provincial laws on behalf of the Sultan (who by law retains sole authority to create laws in the country). The Governor can recommend a law to the Sultan to veto.
 
The ''Mijhalis'' is responsible for implementing and proposing legislation. It consists of the ''Rayeesgur aluDominimne'' (Provincial Prime Minister more commonly known as the Premier in Staynish and as the Rayeesgur in Packilvanian) and the ''Vazeer aluDominimne'' (Provincial Ministers also known simply as ''Vazeer''). The ''Rayeesgur'' chairs and convenes meetings of the ''Mijhalis'', presents reports of its work to the ''Khanoniyat'' and the ''Meer'', and oversees and supervises the work of the ''Mijhalis''. The ''Vazeer'' each have a department and are responsible for administering different areas of the ''Mijhalis's'' work.
 
The ''Khanoniyat aluDominimne'' (the Provincial Legislature also known simply as the ''Khanoniyat'') consists of two chambers: the ''Khama aluShurah aluDominimne'' (Provincial Consultative Assembly, the lower house) and the ''Khama aluKhanonifya aluDominimne'' (Provincial Legislative Assembly). The ''Khama aluShurah'' consists of people selected by lottery who serve part-time and are drawn from various constituencies: urban homeowners and rent-payers associations, rural and farmer's associations, chambers of business, the corresponding Province of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]], and universities. They are convened once a year to approve the annual provincial budget, hear the State of the Province Address from the ''Rayeesgur'', debate provincial issues and pass non-binding resolutions on any issue. Outside of their yearly session, members of the ''Khama aluShurah'' can holding public hearings on provincial issues, and receive memoranda and petitions from the public which they can escalate to the ''Khama aluKhanonifiya''. They serve for 1-year terms.
 
The ''Khama aluKhanonifiya'' has the power to pass a motion-of-no-confidence in the ''Meer'' and the ''Mijhalis's'', forcing them to resign. It has the power to pass legislation within the remit of the authority of the provinces by majority vote of a quorate sitting. Its members have the power to propose legislation, upon being seconded by another member. It can set up inquiries into the work of the executive branch, summon members of the executive branch for Legislative Questions, and demand a report on the government's work from the executive branch. It consists of full-time delegates which are appointed by the local governments (practically elected by the Local Assembly) in proportion to their population. They serve for 3-year terms.
 
The ''Khama luWaloof'' (High Court) comprises the highest court of appeal for matters arising from within the province. It consists of the ''Qadim meWaloof'' (Judges) and the ''Qadim muRayeesgur'' (Judge President) who are appointed by the ''Shultan'' on the advice of the ''Khomishayin aleTahad leQadimishme aluDominmne'' (Provincial Commission for Judicial Appointments).
 
 
Each Khomishayin consists of former judges, teachers of law at a university, and experienced legal professionals. They advertise vacant posts, receive and assess applicatio, hold interviews and make recommendations for judicial appointments to the Shultan who in turn selects the judges from the list of candidates. There are Regional, Local and District Magistrate Courts which are courts of first instance for general civil and criminal suits. They have decreasing levels of responsibility. They are staffed by full-time Magistrates who are civil servants employed by the Imperial Department of Justice. The ''Khomishayin aluIhtiram luQadimishme aluDominimne'' (Provincial Commission for Judicial Discipline) is responsible for receiving complaints about and investigating judicial misconduct and making recommendations either to the Shultan or the Imperial Department of Justice for the dismissal of a Judge or Magistrate respectively.
 
The Governor ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muMeer'') is the head of government. He is appointed by the Sultan ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muShultan'') at his pleasure. He in turn appoints a Provincial Council of Ministers ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luMijhalis luDominmne aleVazeer'') . The Provincial Council of Ministers consists of a Premier ([[Packilvanian]]: ''muVazeer muBas aluDominmne'') and Provincial Ministers ([[Packilvanian]]: ''leVazeer aluDominmne''). The Premier and the Provincial Ministers oversee the daily running of the provincial government. Each Provincial Minister controls a department and oversees an area of provincial policy. The Provincial Council of Ministers proposes provincial laws to the Provincial Legislature ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luKhanoniyat aluDominmne'').
 
The Sultan controls the composition of the Provincial Legislatures by Decree. The Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister for Provincial Affairs is responsible for administering the selection of the members of the Legislatures. Members have immunity when serving in their roles for the things they say insofar as they do not insult the Sultan, Royal family or commit blasphemy.
