Emperor

The Emperor/Empress shall be referred to as Imperial for the sake of brevity throughout this article.

The Emperor/Empress of the Easwegian Realm is a singular monarchical position in Easway that is responsible for creating and co-ordinating the culture & external affairs of the nation. They serve as the chief head of state of the Easwegian Realm, Leader of the Imperial Council of Easway, speaker of the Long Palace, co-commander in chief of the Easwegian Militia, and head of the Easwegian civil service. Easway sometimes makes the distinction of the Emperor between the heads of state that is the Imperial Council, & the heads of government that is the National Directorate by titling the Emperor as "head of the nation."

If the Imperial has a romantic partner, they shall be titled Empress (and vice versa). If the Imperial is in a same sex relationship, the one who is not incumbent shall be titled King or Queen. The partner has no legal powers over the Realm.

The current and only serving Emperor of Easway is Emizerri Emiliaazei, who has served in this posisition since December 19th 2017.

Appointment
The Constitution of Easway stipulates that the office of the Imperial Monarch shall be elected once per year on December 19th, the date of the first Emperor, Emizerri's ascension, by challengers who have served in the Imperial Council as Marquis, or by those who lead a political party for at least one successful term.

Powers

The Imperial is responsible for overseeing the constitutional supremacy of the Realm. To this extent, with just cause, the Emperor may strip members of the Imperial Council of their Ministerial title, and block directives (initiated by Directors, voted by Prefects) which violate the supreme law.

The Imperial shall head the department for external affairs with the official title of Chancellor (denoting their seperation from Ministerial roles), and shall recieve guidance by the Regent Marquis, acting as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Imperial is responsible for publication of all official documents of the Council.
