Government
The Egyptian Empire is a constitutional monarchy. The head of state is the Pharaoh, after which is the elected Council of Commoners. Much of the Egyptian state policies are illustrated in the "Consitution of Karnak", so named because it is carved on one of the Karnak walls.

While the Pharaoh is no longer considered to be divine as he once was, he still exercises great authority in the Empire. The position is hereditary, and passes onto the Pharaoh's eldest son upon his death. Should he die with no male children, the position goes to his closest male relative. If the transition is not smooth, then the Council will select the heir based on geneology. The Pharaoh, is the Commander in Chief of the military, and has the power to dictate foreign affairs. He also reserves the right to issue judgement and punishment on criminals.
