Etymology

The Latin Empire of Flevelt is named so after the great germanic Holy Roman Empire of western Europe. Flevelt is a traditional term use to refer to "one who works with water." The Prefix "Holy Roman" was added to the empire after the first Emperor Kyle of Hesslin claimed the title King of pavia-Jerusalem.

History

The Holy Roman Empire of Flevelt was founded after the member states of the Confederation of Folsom voted on forming a Empire. The Prince-Primate Kyle of Hesslin was elected Latin Emperor on June 12, 2016 . The Member states Hesslin, Mont-Rouge, and Mont-Fleury were the founding members of the empire. Later the Grand Duchy of Pavia, the Tsardom and Despotate of melvak, and the Electoral Emirate of Clevia were formed and granted seats in the Imperial Diet. Currently, the Kingdom of the Oda is lobbying for a seat in the Imperial Diet as well.

The Latin Empire of Flevelt holds three governing bodies: The Emperor and his deputies" The Emperor hold the powers of pardon and veto over all institutions and subjects. In addition he may call a meeting of the Imperial diet, command the Imperial Army, may exile a subject found guilty of a crime of the second degree or higher, holds authority over the Great Council of state, and may enact Imperial edicts and directives to any governing institution. The Great Council of state acts as enactors of the Emperor. The Lord High Chancellor writes government papers, heads foreign affairs, acts as keeper of the the Great Seal, and is head of the Imperial Chancellery. The Grand Marshal commands the Imperial Army and in times of war is commonly proclaimed the Imperial Field Marshal General of the Empire and leads the Holy Roman Imperial or National Army. The Palatine acts as chief Justice of the empire and the Emperor's personal representative to both foreign and native peoples. The Gonfaloniere of the empire is the standard bearer of the empire and is a king of arms of sorts. The Vassal-In-Chief is the highest noble and is the representative of the nobility and people to the Emperor. The Master secretary organizes and records meetings of the council. The Imperial Diet: The Imperial Diet is the highest legislature of the empire. The Imperial diet is formed by the seven Electors which may pass laws and elect the new emperor. Each Elector hails from a different “vassal state” of the empire.
