In practice the country is too big and complex for the Sultan to manage every part of it so he delegates most of the daily running of the country to the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. He ahs separated the powers of the provinces and the national government so that each is responsible for their own scope of affairs. The Sultan is support by the Imperial Household Agency which employs over 10,000 people. Although the Consultative Assembly has little political power, a tradition has arisen whereby the Prime Minister presents the State of the Empire Address to its members. Furthermore, the are certain oversight duties that have been delegated to the Consultative Assembly to prevent an excessive accumulation of powers in the executive branch at the expense of the Sultan's power.
