Zakat is led by the Emperor. The Emperor has always been a male, although that has been preference on the predecessor rather than any rule. There actually is no law that says a female can not be Emperor. The Emperor's successor is chosen by the Emperor himself. Usually, this is their child. The heir to the throne does not have to be blood related, however. There are documented cases where the Emperor instead chose a trusted general or advisor.. The Empress is the Emperor's wife, and she holds no political power whatsoever—unless her husband dies and leaves no heir. The Empress is then allowed to select the next Emperor. If there is no Empress when the Emperor dies and he has no heir, the eldest Grand-General takes the position.
The Emperor has override power on all matters within Zakat. He may not make every single decision within Zakat, but he does have the final say-so. The Emperor is also the only person with the power to declare war. While the Emperor controls Zakat itself, the three states are sub-governed by Governor-Generals. Each one controls the armed forces within the state as well as manages them. Governor-Generals appoint cabinet members to handle specifics such as agriculture, housing and urban development, and the treasury. The Emperor does as well, although that is for the overall empire rather than the individual states.
The Imperial Military is split up into branches—the Imperial Army, Imperial Rangers, Imperial Navy, Imperial Air Corps, and Imperial Marines. The Imperial Army is the main land-based fighting force of the Empire of Zakat. They make up the majority of the Imperial Military. The Imperial Rangers are the Imperial Army's special forces battalion. They are used usually in areas of high danger, whether environmental (such as around Mount Solai) or not. The Imperial Navy is the sea-borne fighting force of the Empire. The Imperial Air Corps maintains all aerial needs of the Empire's military. The Imperial Marines are the most versatile of the branches, as they are forces stationed only on ships—whether naval or aerial. They are used to repel boarders and board ships themselves. They are also trained to be rapid-insertion soldiers in times of conflict.
The Imperial Royal Guard is the most prestigious group within the Imperial Military, although it is not under the command of any of the high command. The Imperial Royal Guard's only duty is to protect the life and property of the Emperor. They are the best of the best, besides perhaps the Imperial Rangers. The Imperial Royal Guard has the authority to interject itself into any operation they deem necessary. They are given the authority to ignore orders given by other branches as well. They are also the only ones allowed to have weaponry in the presence of the Emperor.
