{{Politics of the Deseret}} 
The '''government of the Deseret''' ({{W|Deseret alphabet|Deseret}}: 𐐘𐐲𐑂𐐲𐑉𐑌𐑋𐐲𐑌𐐻 𐐲𐑂 𐑄 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻) is the [[Devolution in Sierra|devolved government]] in the [[Deseret]], a [[Countries of the Kingdom of Sierra|constituent country]] of the [[Kingdom of Sierra]]. It operates under the framework of a subnational {{W|Theodemocracy|theodemocratic}} {{W|parliament|parliamentary}} state, subject to a national federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The government is led by the {{W|President of the Church (LDS Church)|President of the Church}}, who holds the ''{{W|ex officio}}'' title of president of the Deseret. The President selects his ministers to form the [[Cabinet of the Deseret|Cabinet]] and reports to the [[Council of Fifty]], the Deseret's national, popularly elected legislature. As the world's only theodemocratic government, the government of the Deseret combines elements of American-styled federalism, Mormon religious law, and Westminster-styled parliamentarianism. 

The [[Charter for the Kingdom of Sierra|National Charter]] governs the relationship between the federal government in [[Porciúncula]] and the government in the Deseret. The Deseret recognizes its subordination to the federal government, which retains ultimate executive, legislative, and judicial authority on all matters, but is granted devolved powers on all matters pertaining to the Deseret, except the reserve powers of the National Parliament (namely foreign relations, defense, and monetary policy). The [[Constitution of the Deseret]] governs the structure, functions, and responsibilities of the government, including the central role of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] within the state apparatus. Historically, The Church and the government were nearly coterminous, with most state powers consolidated with religious officials. Since the [[Deseret Government Restructuring Act of 1992]], the Church's involvement and link with the government has been reduced, although various important posts, such as the presidency, remain effectively tied to the Church. Judicial powers are vested in the [[Supreme Court of the Deseret]], which is the head of the Deseretian court system. The [[Ecclesiastical Court of the Deseret|Ecclesiastical Court]] is independent of the main Deseretian judicial system and the Supreme Court's authority, and presides over special religious cases and matters which are exclusive to members of the LDS Church, such as marriage and divorce, marital property, and {{W|law of consecration}}.

The Deseret is a unitary subnational entity which is divided into seven [[Areas of the Deseret|areas]]. The areas are officially recognized and classified as [[PSA]]s under Sierran federal law, and are similar to, but more limited in scope than Sierran [[Provinces of Sierra|provinces]] and [[States of Bajaría|Bajarian]] or [[States of Hawaii|Hawaiian states]]. Each area is governed by its own constitutions and elected governments, including their own legislatures, courts, and laws. Compared to the government in Salt Lake City, the areal governments are restricted to specific matters, namely on law enforcement, transportation, education, public health, housing, waste management, public utilities, social services, environmental policy, certain taxation powers, property law, and legislation on local needs.
