Kurum Ash-Sharqia is a constitutional monarchy headed by the Sultan.
The Sultan ceremonially appoints the Grand Vizier with the approval of Al-Majlis Al-Watani. The Grand Vizier, then, appoints the other members of the cabinet. The cabinet needs the confidence of Al-Majlis Al-Watani.
Legislative power is vested in Al-Majlis Al-Watani (National Assembly). The 100 seats in this assembly distributed proportionally after elections every 4 years.
Before a law is passed, it needs the advice of the Islamic Diwan, although this advice is non-binding. At least half of the ordinary members need to be Muslim. The Islamic Diwan is the so-called advisory branch of government. The Diwan is the only islamic institution of the Sultanate. All other institutions are secular in nature.
Judiciary power resides with independent courts: the Supreme Court and lower courts. Judges are appointed for life to ensure their independence.
Local government is administrated by 2 governorates.
