Sultanate governance

Sultanate governance refers to a political system ruled by a Sultan, who is often seen as a sovereign leader with absolute power. This form of governance typically combines spiritual and political authority, as Sultans are often viewed as defenders of the faith. Sultanates have historically governed various regions, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of South Asia, using a bureaucracy to manage their territories. Though the ruling style can vary, it generally emphasizes centralized control, with the Sultan making key decisions, supported by advisors and officials to oversee different aspects of administration and justice.
