 Because of this unique system, the Imperator is the de jure head of each of the branches of government. However, the Senate of Caphiria wields significant power over the fiscal responsibilities of the Imperium, as well as possessing the ability to solely bring new laws to vote, and the Supreme Court system has gradually gained a tremendous amount of oversight and control over the application of the law, having the power to declare legislation or executive action made at any level of the government as unconstitutional, nullifying the law and creating precedent for future law and decisions. There have been many amendments to the Constitution to further delineate authority and organize the government further, but because of historical significance of the Imperator, it will always be the single point in which the government of Caphiria stems from.

-The executive power in the government is vested in its entirety through the Imperator of Caphiria. The Imperator governs by way of his imperium maius (supreme executive power), his auctoritas principis (primary legislative authority), and his jure divis (divine mandate as Pope) As its chief executive, the Imperator is head of state and thus head of the Council of Ministers (Caphiria)
-, the trans-parliamentary bodies that administer the functions of the federal government on behalf of the Imperator. He has the ability to appoint and fire ministers, create and dissolve ministries, as well as the responsibility to appoint diplomatic and provincial officials.
-The Imperator relies on the Office of the Imperium, the principal executive organ through which his Prime Minister leads. This Office consists of the Prime Minister, the chair of the council, who is appointed by the Imperator after consultations and is confirmed by a vote of both houses of the Senate, and all of the Ministers, according to the request of the Prime Minister. These ministries are the de facto administers of the government of Caphiria, serving the functions of the federal government on behalf of the Imperator. Ultimately though, the powers of the Office of the Imperium rest in the hands of the Imperator of Caphiria until the ministers assume their offices.
+The executive authority in Caphiria rests squarely on the shoulders of the [[Imperator]], who governs through his ''imperium maius'' (supreme executive power) and ''auctoritas principis'' (primary legislative authority). As the paramount head of state, the Imperator oversees the [[Council of Ministers (Caphiria)|Council of Ministers]], wielding the power to appoint and dismiss ministers, establish and dismantle ministries, and assign diplomatic and provincial roles at his discretion. The Imperator’s command is executed through the [[Office of the Imperium]] and led by the [[Prime Minister (Caphiria|Prime Minister]]. The Prime Minister, chosen by the Imperator and validated by a vote from both houses of the [[Corcillum]], orchestrates the Council’s operations. The ministries, nominated by the Prime Minister and appointed by the Imperator, act as the government's executive limbs, executing the will of the Imperator.
-While the Imperator maintains executive power at the highest level, he delegates power and authority to a Praetor (governor) to administer the Imperium's 21 provincial-level divisions. Under normal circumstances, available praetorian posts are brought before the Senate in August so that elections can be held to fill them with ambitious citizens. Because praetorship is directly devolved from the Imperator, they are governing as representatives of the Imperator himself and must enforce his will and sovereignty above all else. All members of the patrician class can run for these offices, the stipulation being that they quit their current job and leave for their appointed province no more than two months after winning their election (making holders of major offices such as Princeps Senatus and Imperator ineligible). The purpose behind praetorship is for every province (with the exception of Venceia) to be administered by a citizen from Caphiria itself. This is a relic of the custom of maintaining direct Caphirian rule over all the provinces. However, the Imperator can impeach any reigning praetor, forcing a new election unless the impeachment is vetoed by the Tribune.
+Provincial governance is entrusted to [[Praetor|Praetors]], acting as the Imperator’s proxies, tasked with enforcing his sovereignty throughout the Imperium's 21 [[Provinces (Caphiria)|provincial divisions]]. Praetorian appointments are a prerogative of the [[Senate (Caphiria)|Senate]], initiating a selection process that invites the entire social class to partake, with the expectation of immediate dedication to their provincial duties. This structure not only ensures direct Caphirian rule over its provinces but also allows the Imperator to retain ultimate control, with the ability to dismiss any praetor, a decision that can only be countered by a Tribune's veto.
+In his role as the military's supreme commander and the nation’s chief diplomat, the Imperator commands an extensive network, including 13 million active-duty military personnel and 7 million executive branch employees, across 4 vital ministries. While his executive power is vast, it is not unchecked; the Senate holds the capability to challenge the Imperator’s decisions through a super-majority vote. This balance of power illustrates the nuanced governance framework within Caphiria, where executive authority and legislative oversight converge, ensuring a dynamic yet stable administration
-The Imperator also serves as military commander-in-chief and chief diplomat, directly presiding over the 13 million active-duty military personnel, 7 million employees within the executive branch, and 4 ministries. While the Imperator possess near limitless executive power, the Senate has the ability to legally oppose most of the Imperator's actions by a super-majority.
