'''Succession to the Mysian throne''' utilizes [[wikipedia:Primogeniture#Male-preference primogeniture|male-preference primogeniture]]. Additional mechanisms allowing the reigning Sovereign to appoint his or her heir apparent under traditional Mysian law. Upon the ascension of [[Stephen V & I|Basileus Stephen I]], Mysia entered a personal union with the [[Nyrundy|Electorate of Nyrundy]] in [[Garima]]. This union was dissolved upon the death of [[George VII & III|Basileus George III]], per an arrangement disclaiming the line of George's only son [[William X, Elector of Nyrundy|Archduke William]] and allowing his Mysian titles to pass to George's eldest daughter, [[Irene II of Mysia|Irene]]. 

Additionally, the Sovereign may appoint his successor in certain instances, such as a lack of children from his primary marriage. As [[Vardana]]n customary law permits a man to have multiple wives, a Sovereign may appoint a son from a secondary wife as heir apparent if he lacks male issue from his primary wife; however, this eventuality has yet to occur. Generally, succession laws include the minimum requirements of adhering to [[Vardanan Apostolic Church|Apostolic Christianity]], legitimate birth, and Sovereign consent to marriages. At the two instances of the ascension of a female sovereign, her husband has become Basileus [[wikipedia:jure uxoris|jure uxoris]], however this is largely based in custom and not constitutionality. Per a 2017 declaration from [[Basil I of Mysia|Basileus Basil I]], his eldest daughter, [[Zenobia, Despoina of Aretias]], is heir to the Mysian throne unless the birth of a legitimate son displaces her.
