Introduction

Al Arabiya Network (Arabic: شبكة العربية, Transliteration: 'Shabakat al-Arabiya' ) is state-funded media and news network based in Dammam. The organization acts as the de facto political extension of the Ba’athist Arabian Government in public media and news broadcasted and is thus considered a state news network. Despite this, it is not the sole television legal channel in the country, however, it is the most funded and sole news platform currently.

Foreign and domestic critics have accused the network of being the propaganda arm of the Arabian Government, however the company has rejected such claims as 'unsubstatiated'. The company produces many materials 'of high production value', relevant mainly to national and international affairs concerning the Arab Republic, but sports, musical, medical and artistic programs still are broadcasted and are reportedly very popular.

A majority of published and aired materials are done in the Arabic language, however the outlet maintains several branches of Farsi, Turkish, English and French broadcastings in the respective countries were these languages are spoken regularly.

Introduction

The Emperor of All Russia (Russian: Император Всероссийский, Transliteration: Imperator Vserossiyskiy) is the highest political position in the Russian Empire. The Imperial Russian Armed Forces, State Council, as well as virtually all other key instruments of government are subject to the authority of the Emperor. The position was established on 2 November 1721, on order of the Tsar Peter I, following the implementation of his Westernising reforms. The House of Romanov have held the position in unbroken succession since its creation, having previously ruled Russia successively since 1613.

The Russian constitution stipulates that all Emperors are selected by agnatic primogeniture, with zero political input from the Russian populace. The Emepror of All Russia presides over the State Council and controls Russian military and foreign policy. In this regard, the Emperor is both head of state and head of government.

Mandate and Status

The Emperor of the Russian Empire is recognized as the supreme Russian executive authority, according to the Constitution of 1867. Imperial decrees are legally binding and set government policy, only rescindable by Imperial power. The Emperor also holds the title of "Vozhd of the Most Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church" (Russian: Вождь Священного Синода Русской Православной Церкви, Transliteration: Vozhd' Svyashchennogo Sinoda Russkoy Pravoslavnoy Tserkvi) and plays an active role in Orthodox religious ceremonies alongside regional clerics.

The Constitution of 1867 has done little to limit Imperial powers, in line with the great sweep of Russian history, and the Emperor is imbued with autocratic and virtually unlimited dictatorial powers. The Constitution of 1867 designates the Emperor’s powers as the following:

1. Dictation of the general policies of the Russian Empire, in conjunction with the State Council of the Russian Empire.
2. Supervision of imperial ministries and enforcement of laws passed by Imperial decree and by the State Council.
3. Resolving and mediating conflicts between vassals, governmental offices, and military branches.
4. Issuing decrees for both civil and religious matters.
5. Assuming supreme command of the armed forces. Ordering the mobilization of the armed forces. Issuing declarations of war with the consent of the State Council.
6. Declaring states of emergency in times of crisis.
7. Appointment, dismissal and acceptance of resignation of all branches of government.
8. Reinstatement and dismissal of government ministers.
9. Approving laws passed by the State Council of the Russian Empire.
10. Dismissal of the State Council, and calling for new appointments.
11. Pardoning or reducing sentences in relation to judicial rulings.
12. The defense of defined Holy Sites within the Russian Empire, and the defense of the Russian Orthodox faith both at home and abroad.
