The Emperor of Unironia is the official title of the head of state and hereditary monarch of the Unironic Empire. The title Emperor of Unironia was in use first from 2012 to 2017 during the First Empire, and then again from 2021 to present
History
On June 21, 2012 the Unironic Empire was proclaimed. The King of Monoea would gain a new title "Emperor of Unironia". until September 19, 2012 the Monarchy was a semi-constitutional one with the Emperor answering only to a council of military and civic officials (a relic from the Republic of Monoea), when the decree that gave the Emperor absolute power (Imperial Decree II) most people approved the decree including Consul Zachary Sparks, because of a clause in the degree that gave him a decree of power. This was the case until that November when a group of formerly privileged ex-aristocrats, now only minor representatives in the Imperial Assembly (a body for advisory purposes) attempted to stage a revolt, but failed when the national guard defeated the peasants they had behind them. Time went on the legitimacy of the Monarchy remained unchallenged until a attack on the Reigning Emperor`s legitimacy in January 2013 the Pretender to the throne of Griffon took over a Unironic State and led his army to the gates of the Palace in Crizopolis with King Steven the Pigfaced "Steven, King of the Griffonians" at the helm trying to Become Emperor threw a military coup but with help from the 1st Imperial Guard and Pro-William Milita defeated King Steven`s army and sent him into exile. After King Steven was exiled, the people of Griffon (a Region of the former Archduchy of Crizial) bestowed the title "King of the Griffonians" upon the Emperor.
Starting in March 2013 the Emperor began to doubt in the trustworthiness of the Consul, Zachary Sparks, because when it was found that many aristocrats around the Imperial court are talking of a possible coup attempt from the Consul, and only after the investigation of the Consul`s financial affairs it was discovered that he was using the military budget for personal matters, he was dismissed by the Emperor.
In April the Emperor formed a new advisory position the "President of the Council of State" along with a new advisory body "Council of State of Unironia" also known as the "Secretariat" a council made up of ministers such as the Secretary of Foreign Relations, Secretary of the Economy, Secretary of the Military. Powers were further divided in to subsidiaries such as a subsidiary of the Secretary of the Economy would be the Minister of Printing and Minting who would be in charge of creating Unironia`s money. A subsidiary for the Secretary of the Military would be the Minister of the Navy who is in charge of naval operations and main military commander in the navy
In November 2013 the Council of State was dissolved in its place a single hereditary adviser that has to be from a Unironic noble family, The Chancellor of Unironia`s Duties are to advise and assist the Emperor in day to day activities such as diplomacy, decrees, and changes to law.
By 2015 little had changed sine the time of the ratification of the Imperial charter except for Imperial powers to control dynasties outside his own and, the right to change the line of succession. Finally in 2017 after national stagnation had rocked the nation, the monarchy was abolished in favor of a republic.
Restoration of the Monarchy
On August 20, 2021 the Unironic Democratic Republic was abolished and the Imperial State of Unironia was declared. The New Empire is organized as a unitary state, this is in stark contrast to the First Empire`s federal system of governance.
Proper addressing of the heir
Only if the 1st in line for the throne is the Sovereign`s eldest son shall their title be "King of Crizopolis". If the 1st in line for the throne is not the Sovereign`s eldest son, as it is now their title shall be Prince/Princess Imperial
Critics
During the First Empire opposition was fairly low until after several years of stagnation the Empire was unilaterally dissolved by the presiding government due to apathy in its ability to preform effectively.
Proponents
Nobles such as The Former Chancellor of Unironia, Nathan McNamara, 1st Baron of Namerton stated that
The Monarchy is essential to civilized life without it we are animals
this was said in response to a communist party being created within Unironia.
In 2015 when the issue of constitutionalism was brought to the attention of the Chancellor he remarked "I do not believe we should transform Unironia into a republic. What Unironia deserves is a strong stable monarchy."
The Restoration
Imperial Nostalgia became very prevalent in the early 2020`s due to a combination of factors including the failure of the democratic government to make any meaningful progress. This culminated in a declaration from the Government declaring the Republic abolished and the Empire restored.
Other Imperial Realms
The Emperor is also head of state in all Unironic Colonies, and Dominions. in Dominions his title is "Emperor in Right of (Area)"
