Government of Poland-Lithuania

The Government of Poland-Lithuania, officially His Majesty's Government, is the organisation responsible for the federal administration of Poland-Lithuania. The term can mean either the collective set of institutions or specifically the Monarch-in-Council. As a federal constitutional-parliamentary monarchy, wherein the Polish-Lithuanian Crown acts as the core, or "the most basic building block", of its Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. The Crown is thus the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Polish-Lithuanian Government. Further elements of governance are outlined in the rest of the Polish-Lithuanian Constitution, which includes written statutes, court rulings, and unwritten conventions developed over centuries.

His Majesty's Privy Council for Poland-Lithuania is the body that advises the sovereign on the exercise of executive power. However, in practice, that task is performed only by the Cabinet, a committee within the Privy Council composed of ministers of the Crown, who are drawn from and responsible to the elected House of Commons in parliament. The Cabinet is headed by the prime minister (currently Ela Jasińska), who is appointed by the monarch after securing the confidence of the House of Commons.

Levels and Branches of Government
The citizens of The Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth are subject to three levels of government: federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal.

The municipal government, the smallest form of government, includes villages, towns, cities, and counties. It is responsible for police and fire forces, as well as other public works.

The provincial government is responsible for education, infrastructure, and healthcare (among other things). They get their power from the constitution. Its counterpart, the territorial government, is less powerful and derive their power from the federal government, rather than the constitution.

Lastly, the federal government is responsible for national defence, foreign policy, and the guarantee of basic human rights that the provinces cannot override. It is also responsible for regulating international commerce, as provincial governments are not allowed to have contact with international governments.

The federal government is composed of four branches: the executive, headed by the Prime Minister who can appoint cabinet ministers and Supreme Court Justices; the legislative, made up of the Senate and the House of Commons and makes federal laws, declares war, allocates federal funds and approves treaties; the bureaucratic, which is rather unique and is made up of Cabinet ministers, as well as their deputy ministers and other staff; and the judicial, made up of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts and has the power of judicial review, and is the highest legal authority after the Constitution and Monarchy.
