== Legislative ==
The legislative branch consists of the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] (''luMijhalisgur aBakhilfaniya'') and the [[Sultan of Packilvania]]. The Parliament of Packilvania consists of two chambers: the Legislative Council (''luMijhalis aluKhanonifiya'') which is the upper house and the Consultative Assembly (''luMijhalis aluShurah'') which is the lower house. The Legislative Council consists of 300 to 500 Legislators directly appointed by the Sultan. The Consultative Assembly consists of 3,000 to 5,000 Members of Parliament appointed in terms of a decree issued by the Sultan which meets once a year and is composed of representatives of various constituencies.
Under the usual [[legislative process of Packilvania]], the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]] proposes legislation while the Legislative Council and the Sultan must approve the law. The Constituent Assembly has the power to approve the annual budget and debate and listen to the State of the Empire Address by the [[Prime Minister 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'').
== Judiciary ==
{{Main|Judiciary of Packilvania}}
The [[judiciary of Packilvania]] (''luQadimiyat aBakhilfaniya'') is responsible for enforcing and interpretating legislation, dispensing justice and arbitrating disputes. 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 muBas) 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 aluQayeer luSlamiya'') 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.
