The King of Fontasia (Fontasian: Krolan ub Fontasya), also known as the Fontasian Monarch or the King of the Fontasians was the official leader and head of state of the Kingdom of Fontasia. The only holder of the title of King of Fontasia was King Conor I of the House of Newman.
Possessing a great amount of power in Fontasian politics, as well as being the the leader of the Fontasian people itself, the King of Fontasia was renowned in both Fontasia as well as the greater micronational community.
The title was first used as the title of "Chief" in the late 2000s under the reign of the Rennite Tribe over modern Fontasia. Chief Andrew of the Rennites had thus been considered the first King of Fontasia.
The King was equal in power to the Praetor of Fontasia, however he held more control and responsibility over the Kingdom of Fontasia, contrary to most heads of states.
The Fontasian Monarch was also the Head of the Third Assemblic Federation and acted as the head of state of most member states.
Brief History of the Fontasian Monarchs
Rennite Era (2004-2012)
The origins of the Fontasian Monarchy were rooted in the leadership of the Rennite tribe, a small polity that existed in what would be modern Fontum around a decade before the formation of the first modern Fontasian state. The first Chieftain (also known as King) of the Rennites would be Andrew I, rising to power sometime in the mid-2000s. Chief Andrew has very little known about him, and he reigned until sometime in 2011 before abdicating. His successor would be his sister, Queen Erin I, who was a key figure in King Conor I's life as a caretaker. Queen Erin I taught the young Conor about the wonders of the Corrigith Forest and passed down tales of Rennite tradition. However, in 2013 Conor would begin his own faction within the Rennite tribe and conquer the Rennite capital of Rennograd. As a result, Queen Erin I gave the title of Chieftain to Conor, ending the lineage of the Rennite Dynasty and beginning the Newman Dynasty.
First Newman Royal Era (2012-2015)
Conor's ascension to power marked a major point in Fontasian history, as it would begin modern Fontasian and Assemblian history. Chief Conor ruled as Rennite Chief until 13 May 2013, when he officially established a unified Fontasian state, known as the Fontasian Republic. The Fontasian Republic however would be far from a republic despite its name, being lead by a King. Conor declared himself King of Fontasia. King Conor then became embroiled in the Amstrian Wars, fighting for over a year and half in a war of conquest against already present Assemblian nations. In November 2014, Fontasia formed a personal union with Sandrania, forming the United Kingdoms of Sandrania-Fontasia, where Conor would rule as King of Fontasia and co-king of Sandrania and the Sandranian King, Jacob I would rule as King of Sandrania and co-King of Fontasia.
Jacobian Era (2014-2015)
King Jacob I of Sandrania, moving into 2015 would begin to consolidate power in both Kingdoms, and by spring 2015 would completely make King Conor's role as co-king of Sandrania irrelevant. King Jacob's consumption of power in the union would even go to as far as taking control as King of both kingdoms, greatly angering the Fontasian people and leading to the Fontasian Revolution of 2015, where King Conor I himself would lead a revolt against Jacob to secure Fontasian independence. This revolt was successful, and King Conor's supporters forced King Jacob to abdicate both thrones and go into exile.
Newman Imperial Era (2015-2022)
After the Fontasian Revolution, Fontasia began to rapidly expand under Conor's leadership who was de facto King of Fontasia. By August, all of Assemblia was under Fontasian control, prompting Conor to consider declaring himself Emperor of All Assemblias. On 25 August 2015, King Conor proclaimed himself Emperor of the First Assemblic Empire.
During his seven year reign, Emperor Conor I expanded Assemblia and advanced it to never-before seen levels of progress. Under his rule, Assemblia became a micronation in 2018. However, in 2019 the Fourth Assemblic Empire would disintegrate into disarray and Emperor Conor I went into several months of hiatus from micronationalism, presumably giving the title of Emperor of All Assemblias to his good friend and Emperor of the Fleetwoods.
The title of Emperor of All Assemblias was inherited by the Emperor of Meritia, Joseph I after the collapse of the Second Assemblic Federation in February 2022.
Malleyite Era (2019)
After the collapse of Assemblia and Conor's temporary retirement from micronationalism, John Malley, a good friend of Conor and Emperor of the Fleetwoods was inherited the title of Emperor of All Assemblias. Emperor John I did little in his reign, and he returned his title of Emperor of All Assemblias to Conor I.
Second Newman Royal Era (2022-2023)
A month after the collapse of the Second Assemblic Federation, Conor reunified Fontasia once again and declared himself King of Fontasia once again. During the Second Newman Era, the Kingdom of Fontasia became the most powerful micronational monarchy in the New England Sector as well as being a major micronational power. King Conor I himself became the most powerful micronational monarch in New England. The position was abandoned on 2 June 2023.
