Following the reappearance of the Imam of Time (atf) and establishment of a single global government by him, if there are presumably any governments that work towards the realization of the goals of the Imam of Time – i.e. the establishment of justice – it is likely that the Imam may retain those governments and allow them to continue their activities under his supervision, albeit with adherence to the general rules and regulations in the land. It should be noted that the details concerning the type of the Imam's governing method and government is not known. It is not clear as to whether or not he will appoint a governor for every province or territory as it was customary during the early period of Islam, or his government will be characteristic of the current day style in which the views and opinions of the people of every land are crucial in the appointment of the type of the regional governments.
