=== Executive powers ===
The Sultan has the power to appoint and dismiss the [[Prime Minister of Packilvania]] and the other Ministers who comprise the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]]. The Sultan also has the power to determine the portfolios and powers of those ministers. The Sultan, by convention, does not participate in the daily running of the country. This is not because he is bound by historical precedents but because of practical constraints. Thus, he usually meets with the Prime Minister once a week to discuss various matters of state. Usually, the Council of Ministers can and often does act independently of the Sultan but he does have the authority to limit their powers by decree.
Although the Constitution requires that certain matters of state such as the taxation and appropriation, coinage of currency, the boundaries and powers of provincial governments etc., are passed by statute, there are matters reserved to the Sultan or matters over which he can pass decrees instead. The Supreme Court is responsible for settling disputes about the boundaries of statute and decrees and resolving disputes about overlap. Matters of state over which the Sultan can issue decrees include restriction of access to information on matters of national security and Royal affairs, state-owned land, water resources, matters concerning imperial property, and the affairs of Royal Princes.
He has the power to bestow noble titles. He has direct control over overseas territories like [[Antimovo & Samokov|Antimovo and Samokov]] and over autonomous cities such as [[Kemer]] and [[Bingol]].
