Sultanate system

The Sultanate system is a form of governance where a Sultan, a hereditary ruler, holds supreme authority over a region or country. This system traditionally combines political, military, and religious leadership, with power passed down through family lines. The Sultan makes laws, commands the military, and often serves as a spiritual leader. Such systems were common in parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, notably during medieval times. While the structure varies, the central idea is a monarchical rule based on lineage, with governance disciplined by customs, religion, and tradition.
