The Government of Zaclaria (Zaclaric Audonian:دولت سلطان نشین او), officially the Government of Her Sultanate of Zaclaria, and known simply as the Sultanate of Zaclaria or the Sultanate, is the ruling state and current political system in Zaclaria, in power since Ishad's Revolt in 1943 when the Al-Fassara Dynasty took over the state and Zaclaria became a Crowned Protectorate of Caphiria.
The 1943 Constitution of Zaclaria established Zaclaria as an Islamic crowned republic, that combines elements of a monarchy and a parliamentary republic. As a Crowned Protectorate, the Imperator of Caphiria serves as the de facto monarch of Zaclaria using the ceremonial title "Imperator of the Crowned Protectorate of Zaclaria". However, it is the Sultan of Zaclaria (or Sultana), who serves as both the constitutional and hereditary monarch and head of state. The Sultan also serves as the spiritual leader of Islam in Zaclaria - called Shazitnâmeh Isma'ilism. The Shazitnâmeh is a set of Islamic laws and principles that form the legal and moral framework of the government of Zaclaria. The Sultan is considered the highest authority in interpreting and enforcing these laws, as they are both the secular political leader and the religious leader - "Commander of the Faithful" or Imam.
The constitution grants the Sultan extensive legal powers; the Sultan presides over the Council of Ministers, the executive branch of the Sultanate, and appoints an elected Prime Minister who serves as head of government. However, the Sultan ultimately still has the final say in any legal or political dispute, and has the power to veto any legislation or executive action that goes against the principles of the Shazitnâmeh.
The legislative branch of government is the National Council, a unicameral body of 211 members elected for a five-year term through a system that requires "vertical gender parity", meaning male and female candidates must alternate on each party's regional list. The National Council's responsibilities include budgetary matters, approving bills, questioning ministers, and establishing ad hoc commissions of inquiry to investigate the government's actions.
The Judiciary of Zaclaria is headed by the High Royal Court, which serves as the supreme court and has extensive jurisdiction over all other courts, including high courts, district courts, special courts, and Sharia courts. The High Royal Court has the power to hear appeals, hear original cases, and offer advisory opinions on legal matters.
History
Council of Ministers
The Council of Ministers is the executive branch of the government, presided over by the Sultan. It is responsible for carrying out the policies and decisions of the government, as well as for implementing the laws enacted by the National Council. The Council of Ministers is comprised of ministers appointed by the Sultan, and it is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the country. The Prime Minister, who is elected by the National Council, serves as the head of the government and presides over the Council. The Prime Minister is responsible for managing the government's legislative agenda, and for coordinating the work of the ministers to ensure the effective implementation of government policies.
The role of the Council of Ministers is to support the Sultan in the administration of the country, and to provide the Sultan with advice and recommendations on a wide range of issues. The Council of Ministers also serves as a key link between the government and the National Council, as well as between the government and the people of Zaclaria. The Council of Ministers is also responsible for ensuring the implementation of Islamic law and the protection of the rights of all citizens in accordance with the principles of Shazitnâmeh and Sharia.
The Council is structured into three components - the Executive Cabinet, State Ministries, and State Offices. The Executive Cabinet consists of the Sultan and Prime Minister, giving them the ability to handle the administration of the country. The State Ministries consist of the
