The Qustanti Caliphate is a theocratic monarchy. Though it is often described as an absolute monarchy, most scholars consider this a mischaracterisation, as the Caliph is subject to Sharia, and the Qur'an and Ummatic Tradition act as a body of constitutional law. | The Qustanti Caliphate is a theocratic monarchy. Though it is often described as an absolute monarchy, most scholars consider this a mischaracterisation, as the Caliph is subject to Sharia, and the Qur'an and Ummatic Tradition act as a body of constitutional law. Accordingly, the state is considered by many scholars to be a bureaucratic dicatorship under the guidance of Qustanti Muslim scholar-clerics under general supervision of the Caliph. | ||
The Caliphate regards itself as a sovereign entity that governs Qustantistan as a nation-state, but also rightfully claims religious and (in certain periods of history) civil authority over Qustanti Muslims outside of its territorial jurisdiction. Qustanti Muslims are required to pay tithes to the Caliphate through their congregations, and are obliged to participate in jihad if deemed called upon by the Caliph to defend the faith. All Qustantis, regardless of legal nationality, are considered subjects of the Caliph, and as such are automatically considered Qustanti nationals when in Rumelistan. | The Caliphate regards itself as a sovereign entity that governs Qustantistan as a nation-state, but also rightfully claims religious and (in certain periods of history) civil authority over Qustanti Muslims outside of its territorial jurisdiction.
