Mahadar, officially The Sublime Sultanate of Mahadar (مَهَدَسلطنة), is a nation located in the "Near West" of Eridos. The region between the 'Azraq and 'Akhdir rivers is often referred to as the cradle of civilisation. Ancient Mahadar saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, urbanisation, organised religion and central government. The area has been home to successive civilisations since the 6th millennium BC. From the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century, Mahadar was ruled by foreign imperial powers. After the collapse of the Zataria Empire, the modern state of Mahadar was formed under the Bin Mohammed dynasty.

Government & Politics

Government

The Politics of Mahadar take place in a framework of an absolute monarchy. The hereditary Sultan is the absolute head of state, “father of the nation”, supreme commander of the armed forces, and “commander of the faithful”. As an absolute monarchy, the personality and capabilities of the reigning monarch influence the politics and national policies of the country. Politically, Mahadar is evolving from a traditional society into a modern welfare state. Recently, the Sultan has announced intentions to transition to a more “Constitutional form” of Monarchy.

The Sultan may appoint a Prime Minister to lead the Government. The prime minister is a member of the ruling family and is appointed by the Sultan, typically from amongst his sons. The Sultan in consultation with his Prime Minister appoints a Cabinet (Majlis al-Wuzarā). At least one member of the cabinet must be a deputy who won election to the Majlis al-Shura.

The Majlis an-Nuwwāb is the legislature of Mahadar, consisting of Majlis al-Dawla (Upper House), and Majlis al-Shura (Lower House). The Majlis an-Nuwwāb has mainly a consultative task. The Majlis al-Shura (Lower House) is the only legislative body in Mahadar of which all members are democratically elected. There are no official political parties in Mahadar, therefore candidates run as independents during elections; upon winning, members usually form informal blocs.

The Majlis al-Shura has some legislative and oversight powers. The Cabinet must have to refer draft laws to the Shura, which has to approve or amend it within a maximum of three months from the date of referring. Then it is referred to the Majlis al-Dawla which has to approve or amend it. If the two chambers disagree, they take vote to resolve the difference. However, any bill passes both chambers, it must be approved and signed by the Sultan to become a law. The Majlis al-Shura is permitted to propose draft laws and forward them to the Majlis al-Dawla, but only the Sultan and the Majlis al-Dawla, has the power to pass or enforce them.

The Majlis al-Dawla is the upper house of The Majlis an-Nuwwāb. All members are appointed by the Sultan. The Dawla has the power to interpret laws, as well as examine annual reports referred to it by state ministries and agencies. It can also advise the Sultan on policies he submits to it, along with international treaties and economic plans. The Assembly is also authorized to review the country's annual budget, and call in ministers for questioning.

Law

The Judiciary of Mahdar is divided into two branches: The Civil Law Courts, and The Criminal Law Courts. Judges of the middle and lower courts are nominated by the Mahadar Judicial Council and appointed by decree by Sultan. The Supreme Judicial Council, chaired by the Sultan, appoints the members of the Constitutional Court.
