Constitution of Kurum Ash-Sharqia

The constitution of Kurum Ash-Sharqia was promulgated in 1700 AN by the provisional government. It draws heavily from the constitution of New Batavia.

The Sultan is the ceremonial head-of-state. He appoints the Grand Vizier, in whom executive power is vested, with the approval of Al-Majlis al-Watani. The Grand Vizier, then, appoints the other members of the executive, called viziers. Legislative power is vested in Al-Majlis Al-Watani, an elected body. Before a law is passed, it needs the advice of the Islamic Diwan, although this advice is non-binding. The Islamic Diwan is the only institution that is Islamic in nature, all others are secular. Judiciary power is vested in the Supreme Court and lower courts.
