The National Guidance Council (Kayig: Միլլեդ Գըլաղուզլուգ Գոնսէեի, Milleti Kılağuzlik Konsey-i), abbreviated as MKK, is the highest policy-making authority within the Irfanic Society for the Repoublic and, by extension, Kadaria. The body collectively serves as the head of state and government of Kadaria, although in reality, the supreme leader holds both of these positions.
The National Guidance Council was founded originally in 1951 following the consolidation of various government opposition groups into the Irfanic Society for the Republic in the midst of the Mehr Revolution. Following the ratification of the Declaration of the Founding Principles of the Irfanic State, the National Guidance Council was officially established following the plenum 2nd Party Congress. The 3rd Congress tasked the National Committee of forming a "permanent body that could enact decisions too urgent for the deliberation of the National Committee." This initial National Guidance Council had only eight members, however by the 5th Party Congress in 1956, the council was expanded to 15, which it maintains.
Since the ratification of the Declaration of Founding Principles of the Irfanic State, the National Guidance Council has evolved from originally an advisory and emergency-decision making body within the Irfanic Society for the Republic to politically functioning as the ruling party of Kadaria itself. The body holds absolute power over every aspect of Kadarian politics and domestic life. The organization acts as both a functionary organization and the supreme command of the National Armed Forces, completely dissolving the boundaries between civilian and military administration in Kadarian politics.
Functionally, and despite the existence of the Meclis of the Irfanic State and Irfanic Society for the Republic, the National Guidance Council operates as the de facto legislative and executive organs of the Kadarian national government. The MKK is split up into two wings, known as commands: the Administrative Command and the Strategic Command. Each command consists of seven ministry-level departments that are assigned to one aspect of national governance (Administrative Command) or national defence and military affairs (Strategic Command). This results in 14 total ministry-level departments, but are in practice, much more limited in their capability due to the position of supreme leader and the power of the Irfanic clergy.
