Beneath the pharaoh are two (living) viziers, one for the Upper Kingdom and one for the Lower Kingdom. The viziers act as prime ministers of equal standing. They put pharaoh's wishes into action and make sure that the laws are enforced. They act as the highest-ranking judge in their part of the kingdom and oversee many aspects of day-to-day life.
Viziers are stewards of the Two Kingdoms' resources. They manage the canals that regulate the flow of the river and dispense surveys that enable the state to monitor its people. The vizier is also in charge of the state treasury, royal libraries, and national storehouses. They ensure that the workers are paid, materials are gathered, and that the whole of society runs smoothly.
