Although the Constitution of Packilvania delineates the powers of the Sultan, in reality he is an absolute monarch as he has full control over the levers of political power. Succession is by agnatic primogeniture to prevent the ability of a man outside of the ruling family from inheriting the throne as was nearly the case with [[Thadeus II]] of Great Morstaybishlia. The female equivalent of the title is Sultana however this title is only used for the Sultan's wife and mother. The [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]] equivalent of the Sultan's style is contentious as some academics differ on whether the Sultan is the equivalent of an Emperor or a King. The Sovereign resides and works in the [[Bingol Royal Palace]] in the capital city of [[Bingol]]. According to international observers, the Sultan is an autocratic totalitarian dictator.
