As a whole, the area of Zaclaria has been home to successive civilizations since the 3rd millennium BC. Zaclaria was founded in 247 BC as a city-state and the [[Sultanate of Zaclaria]] was created in the 6th century. The Sultanate was conquered by [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in the 9th century until the [[Zaclarian Revolution]] in the 11th century, leading to the creation of the Emirate state which ruled for approximately 7 centuries and two dynasties.

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 government of Zaclaria has been called a hybrid regime by political journalists. Whether the sovereign state should be regarded as a constitutional monarchy or an absolute monarchy is disputed. | ||

The [[Constitution of Zaclaria]] provides for an Islamic monarchy with a Parliament and an independent judiciary. As a Crowned Protectorate, the reigning monarch is [[Constantinus I]] (despite Caphirian cultural norms that dislike using titles such as king or monarch) who has the formal title of "Imperator of the Crowned Protectorate of Zaclaria". However, the direct participation of the Imperator in areas of governance is limited; the head of state, the [[Sultan of Zaclaria]] (or the female equivalent ''Sultana'') appoints a Prime Minister who serves as the head of government. | The [[Constitution of Zaclaria]] provides for an Islamic monarchy with a Parliament and an independent judiciary.
