The branches of government have differing powers.
In the Egyptian myths, Isis speaks and resurrection: when Set, her sibling, slaughters Osiris (his sibling and Isis' sibling/spouse), Isis (with the assistance of her sister Nephthys) assembles the parts of Osiris that Set had strewn about the world, and with Isis' enchantment, she breathes life into Osiris back to life. Notwithstanding, he chooses to live in the black market, turning into the leader of that space.
Optimistic? This would be my best guess given the lack of information.
