Ĉiopova I (Ĉiopova Sankta Moŝto Rozo de Brikakastelo-Vindelano; born 31 May (Unknown year)) is the Empress and head of state of Feudal Wyndela since its inception in 2023.
They were born in Nottingham, United Kingdom and were involved in the Wyndelan Government prior to the Thorn Revolution. After the death of Princeps I, they rose to the top in the interim government.
On 18 September 2023 Ĉiopova was appointed Empress of Wyndela by the interim government's Committee for Monarchial Reconstruction.
Early life
Ĉiopova was born at City Hospital in Nottingham, United Kingdom, to Reĝa Patro and Reĝa Patrino (Royal Father and Royal Mother). They have a younger brother, Prince Feroca, Lord of Ivwell. They lived their early life in Nottingham, before moving to Wyndela in late 2022.
Political Career
After moving to Wyndela shortly after it was founded, they worked their way high up in the Coalition (the Wyndelan Government at the time), and was trusted by Princeps I. Ĉiopova was promoted to Prime Minister, and became popular due to them often criticizing Princeps' tyranny. During the Thorn Revolution, they fled from Zamenhofgrad back to the UK, but returned only hours later after being asked to become Monarch, due to the Interim Government viewing them as a good fit for the role.
Reign
On 18 September 2023, Ĉiopova assumed the duties of Empress of Wyndela following the Thorn Revolution bring an effective reset to Wyndelan society. They were voted in by the Committee for Monarchial Reconstruction, a group of 5 senior Wyndelan politicians who had roughly two hours to decide on the country's future, as mandated by the Calewan Union.
The beginning of their reign was dedicated to the reversal of many laws passed by Princeps I, such as the Emergency Powers Act 2022, which led to people being imprisoned without trial. Additionally, they were responsible for reforming Wyndela back towards democracy. At the time, many Wyndelans still supported the GWSPP, and so, a new party was created, the People's Party, which served as a left-leaning party, and the Wyndelan National Party, a right-wing party. A new post of Commander-in-Chief was established, with Douglas I serving as the first holder of the post.
Beginning on 1 December 2023, they pushed for further Metrification of Wyndelan society, and changing all signs around the nation to be in metric measurements only.
On 12 December 2023, they appointed Prince Feroca, Lord of Ivwell as their heir apparent.
Official duties
They act as a Wyndelan representative to the Calewan Union, as well as meeting with other micronational leaders often.
Personal arms

This is to represent the importance of knowledge in the Royal Household. The shield is supported by a Dragon, representing traditional aspects of Wyndela, and a goat, to represent unconventional aspects of the House.

Styles
The official style of Ĉiopova is "Their Excellency, Their Holiness, The Most Noble, Their Serene Highness, Their Imperial Majesty". This somewhat unwieldy term is an holdover from the formation of the Monarchy, when many old pre-revolution titles were merged and given to Ĉiopova as an easy fix to Princeps' complicated and extensive noble system. However, most commonly, they are referred to simply as "Your Imperial Majesty".

Their Excellency, Their Holiness, The Most Noble, Their Royal Highness, Their Imperial Majesty Ĉiopova Sankta Moŝto Rozo de Brikakastelo-Vindelano The First, The Empress of Wyndela, Duke of Pinarbo, Guardian of Adaklif.
