Although Packilvania is a theocratic state, the Sultan has surprisingly limited powers over [[Paxism]]. He is required to be a Paxist and to enforce Paxist teachings in his realm. This is more of a moral and spiritual requirement than a legal one. He has very limited authority to influence the functioning of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] in Packilvania. He does however have the power to dismiss and appoint religious officials in territories and colonies of Packilvania. He has the power to convene a sitting of the Council of the Great Magisters and to request to dismissal of a Magisterial official whom he feels has committed some offence but only the Supreme Magister, currently [[Tawak Mudawaheen]], may grant such a request. |

The Sultan is the Head of the Bedonite dynasty. He oversees the affairs of the family. All properties and assets owned by the family collectively are held in trust by the Sultan. The Sultan controls the disbursal of stipends to other members of the Royal family as well as their entitlement to emoluments such as security and the use of Royal residence, transport and support staff.

The Sultan's consorts are entitled to certain titles depending on the order in which they were married and which country paid their bridal price. The first wife of the Sultan is always the chief wife and she enjoys the title of Her Imperial and Royal Majesty, Sultana of Packilvania and Queen of Drakkengard. Other consorts are referred to as Her Imperial Highness, Princess of Packilvania. Namdun did not like how his wives were equal in rank to his daughters, so he had the Kingdom of Drakkengard pay their dowries so that they can enjoy the title of Her Majesty, Queen of Drakkengard. |

The Constitution states that all of the Sultan's offspring shall enjoy the title of Prince of Packilvania and the offspring of his male children shall be Princes of Packilvania. It does not place a limit on how far the title of Prince can be passed down.

The consorts of Princes of Packilvania also enjoy the title of Prince of Packilvania. The Sultan does have the power to strip a Prince of the titles and emoluments of a Prince. |
