The monarchy of Mascylla, officially the Monarchy of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla (Hesurian: Monarchie der Gekrönten Republik Maskillien) and colloquially known as the Mascyllary monarchy (Hesurian: Maskillische Monarchie), is the monarchical and upmost constitutional institution of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla and its Overseas Territories. The current monarch and second historical queen is Dorothy I of the House of Ahnern-Welsbach since 25 November 2005, upon the death of her father, King Lucas III.

A constitutional monarchy in essence, it has ruled Mascylla since its inception in 1793, but after the Mascyllary Revolution in 1924, it has been transformed into a ceremonial monarchy under a parliamentary system. The Monarch is bestowed the title of King or Queen of Mascylla (Hesurian: König Maskilliens, Königin Maskilliens), among a variety of others. Upon the end of a monarch's reign, either by death or abdication, the successor is formally elected by a specially convened Convention of the Realm (Reichsversammlung); however, this style of elective monarchy has largely been of hereditary nature in practice, as the Crown Princes and Princesses of Ahnern have been elected without interruption since 1847.

The Queen and her close relatives execute a number of official, unofficial, representative, and ceremonial duties and roles in Mascylla and abroad. While the Queen has the rights and powers of a constitutional monarch, she does not usually exercise them by herself due to the precedent of common law by her two predecessors but instead relies on the Reichsrat, Reichssenat, and Kronenrat for policymaking. Therefore, she is a de facto parliamentary monarch as opposed to her role granted by the royal prerogative, which is stipulated in the Constitution. As the country's fount of honor, the monarch bestows honors and ceremonially appoints elected Prime Ministers, is able to secretly engage in discourse pertaining draft laws, and serves as the nominal commander-in-chief of the Mascyllary Reichswehr.

The petty kingdoms that ultimately grew to become Aldia were formed in the Early Middle Ages. In 1297, the Kingdom of Aldia was created from the Duchy of Aldia and Grand Duchy of Fania by the 1297 coronation of Joseph I of Fania. As a maritime and agricultural power, it grew to become one of the most influential Mascyllary states by the 15th century. After the gradual decline and partitions of Cuthland, Aldia was recognized as one of Berea's great powers and effectively pushed for an effort of Mascyllary unification. The historical rivalry between the monarchies of Aldia, backed by the Elbgau Confederacy, and Adwhin concluded with an Aldian victory, absorbing the remaining independent states and proclaiming their king, Lucas I, as Mascylla's monarch and effectively founding the Ahnern royal dynasty from the House of Lünburg. By the 19th century, Mascylla had developed into a united nation-state following the War of the Five Kings and the peace negotiations of the Treaty of Langquaid that followed it. The monarchies of each state within Mascylla were continued, however, with the nominally equal Mascyllary monarch considered primus inter pares. Throughout the 19th century, the monarchy ruled the Mascyllary Kingdom albeit with increasing authority and civil dissatisfaction, and the monarch was the nominal head of state of the fledging Mascyllary Weltreich, one of the largest colonial empires at its greatest extent in post-Great War 1917.

With socio-economic and political instability clminating in the Mascyllary Revolution in 1923, the monarchy was dissolved at first and then radically reshaped, with the liberal Maximilian I as its figurehead. The deterioration of the monarchy's position as a foremost domestic political power enabled the foundation of a parliamentary representative democracy, which continues to rule Mascylla today. Following the Melasian Crisis, the empire gradually disintegrated as a majority of former colonies and dependencies gained independence. While in recent times the monarchy and its family have been politically indecisive, they retain their cultural and symbolic significance as the country's traditional representatives while enjoying large public popularity.

Constitutional role and politics

The Mascyllary monarch has highly symbolic value as they are the expression of the state itself, representing its legitimacy of existence, legality, sovereignty, and unity, and are the head of state according to the constitution. Oaths of allegiance are sworn to them and their legitimate descendants, instead of parliament or the nation. In addition, the portrait of the monarch appears on postage stamps and currency, as well as inside actively used government infrastructure.

The monarch's political power are, in practice, severely limited by statute, custom, or precedent. While the monarch used to be authorized to issue their own decrees, conclude international treaties or declare a state of war without the consultation or approval of parliament, today they may only exercise these sovereign rights in accordance with the Privy Council and with the consent of the Prime Minister or other ministers. Thus, acts of the realm on behalf of the monarchy (Reichssakte), even when performed personally by the monarch, are dependent on multiple separated offices and countersignature by the Prime Minister: the monarch is obliged to exercise their power through the Monarch-in-Parliament (König-im-Parlament) for legislation, the Royal Government (Königliche Regierung) for executive authority, and the Monarch-on-the-Bench (König-auf-der-Bank) for judicial authority.

This right is often used by the government to legislate without parliament, as was the case for the declaration of war in the X in X and Mascylla's accession to the Common Berean Economic Area (CBEA) in 2000. How far these rights may extend is the subject of controversy and public scrutiny. Whether and to what extent the monarch can or should actually exercise their sovereign rights in exceptional circumstance is equally a matter of debate. Because of the very fact that the monarch is expected to remain non-partisan, any political comment is regarded to be of major importance, and any unsolicited action of this nature has the potential to set in motion a constitutional crisis.

Royal prerogative

The executive power of the monarchy is described collectively as the royal prerogative (Hoheitsrecht) in the Mascyllary constitution. Due to the numerous restrictions, the monarch exercises their sovereign rights solely on the advice of ministers who are accountable to the parliament and especially the Reichsrat; in most cases it is the Prime Minister or the Privy Council, though the latter is nowadays controlled by the cabinet and thus by the Prime Minister. The monarch is entitled to express and voice their opinion, but ultimately has to accept the decisions of the Prime Minister and the cabinet, provided they are not effectively a minority government.

Whenever necessary, the monarch is directly responsible for appointing a new Prime Minister and confirming their delegated right to form a government. In accordance with unwritten customary constitutional law, the monarch must appoint the individual in question who has the supply and confidence of a majority of the sitting Reichsrat, usually the leader of a majority political party or a coalition. The Prime Minister takes office immediately following a private audience with the monarch. In theory, the monarch was able to dismiss the Prime Minister at their pleasure, but since 1924, the only ways to end their term in office are by losing a majority in parliament, resigning, or dying. Additionally, they appoint and dismiss any minister of the cabinet, though on the Prime Minister's recommendation.

Moreover, the monarch enjoys a plethora of privileges and rights of executive authority. They summon and prorogue sessions of parliament (but cannot dissolve it) and the Party Funding Commission with speeches from the throne, grant bills their royal assent in order for them to become law (in practice, the monarch did not veto a bill since 1923), appoint and dismiss national judges, officials, and military officers (on the advice of the respective ministry in question), bestow individuals with peerage, membership in one of the orders of chivalry, knighthood, and other honors (though most of these on the advice of the Prime Minister), reduce the sentences of convicted offenders (but cannot provide pardon or amnesty), accredit Mascyllary ambassadors, welcome and receive diplomatic foreign heads of mission, remain immune from any criminal arrest or prosecution, and act as the de jure commander-in-chief of the armed forces; the monarch may supersede the Prime Minister's de facto control over the Reichswehr by a two-thirds majority consent in the Reichsrat and in agreement with a Counselor of Defence (Verteidigungskonsul) proposed by the government, though the ability to mobilize forces, declare war, and broker peace is vested in the Reichsrat.

Succession

Upon the death of a monarch, a successor is elected without debate and by secret ballot by the Convention of the Realm (Reichsversammlung) that specially gathers at the New Palace in Augusthal. Mascylla is the only Berean monarchy in existence in which the closest descendant as heir presumptive does not automatically succeed their predecessor. The ceremonial assembly's members consist of all members of the Reichsrat, the Reichssenat and specifically the four holders of the Court Appointments (Hofämter), the Privy Council (Geheimrat), as well as a proportionally representative number of civil servants such as delegations of the states legislatures, mayors of cities, representatives of universities and other civil institutions, or prominent public figures; historically, the Convention repeatedly exceeded 1,000 members in size. The Crown Law requires that the assembly be held no later than 15 days after the monarch's death and chaired by the President of the Reichssenat.

Recognized candidates are hereditary or life peers (Paire), have Mascyllary citizenship, are eligible to vote for the Reichsrat, and are non-partisan. Until 1924, male-preference cognatic primogeniture dictated who could or could not be elected as successor based on gender. During the election, a candidate is required to secure an absolute majority, and if no candidate is able to accumulate this level of support within the first two rounds of the procedure, the candidate who receives a plurality of the third round's votes cast wins. However, long-established convention has it that the convention almost exclusively confirms the presumptive Crown Prince or Princess of Ahnern as heirs apparent to the throne, instead of discarding their claim in favor of another candidate. Since 1847, only members of the House of Ahnern-Welsbach were elected monarchs, thus making Mascylla a de facto hereditary monarchy in all but name.

A subsequent day after the electors verified the result of the vote, the Accession Council (Antrittsrat) convenes in the New Palace to prepare a formal proclamation of accession of the successor-elect to the throne, confirming the identity of the heir by regnal name and title. The individual in question, in the presence of the council assembled, accepts the vote's result by signing a Declaration of Accession (Antrittsdeklaration) and is then expected to take an oath on the constitution in Hesurian:

"Ich schwöre und verspreche feierlich, im Angesicht Gottes, dass ich meine ganze Kraft unwiederruflich dem Wohle des Volkes dieses Maskillischen Reiches widme, ihn in jeglicher dienlicher Weise, soweit ich nach meinem Wissen und Können durch göttlichen und heiligen Beistand unterstützt werde, diene, seinen Nutzen mehren, Schaden von ihm wenden, seine Gesetze und Freiheiten wahr und verteidige, meine gegebene Pflicht gewissenhaft erfüllen und Gerechtigkeit gegen jeden Mann ausüben werde. So wahr mir Gott helfe."

"I solemnly promise and pledge, in the sight of God, that I will inviolably devote my whole strength to the well-being of the people of this Mascyllary realm, to service them in all ways useful to them, however many, in so far as I am supported by divine assistance according to my knowledge and ability, increase their welfare, protect them from any harm, uphold and defend their laws and liberties, perform my given duty conscientiously, and exercise justice against any man. So help me God."

Cultural and symbolic significance

Symbols and arms

Regalia

The Mascyllary Crown Jewels (Maskillische Kronjuwelen) is the royal regalia and ensemble of ceremonial objects accessible to the Mascyllary monarch and held in trust, which are stored and on public display in Köpenick Palace (Schloss Köpenick). It consists of 74 items, including but not limited to: a complete set of coronation regalia with 2 sovereign crowns (St Theodore's Crown and Crown of Lucas I), 3 consort crowns, 5 princely coronets, 1 royal sceptre (Divine Sceptre), 5 swords (among them the Sword of the Crown), and 1 orb, 8 maces, 5 trumpets, 2 robes, 3 rings, and 1 pair of spurs.

Used for coronations of monarchs from the House of Ahnern, the crown jewels are an integral component to denote their role as head of state. During such ceremony, holy oil is used for anointment, the individual in question is invested with symbolic ornaments and robes, and subsequently crowned with St Theodore's Crown; after the 1793 formation of the Mascyllary Kingdom, the Kings of Aldia continued to use their regalia despite a new crown for Mascylla having been created and used once with Lucas I's coronation in 1793. The crown intended as their successor in 1924 (Mascyllary State Crown, Maskillische Staatskrone) was never created. However, a heraldic version of this crown exists and is used in this capacity. Queen consorts are invested with specially made crowns and regalia of plainer design, same for relatives of the Monarch.

Residences

The Mascyllary royal family inhabits and occupies a variety of residences throughout Mascylla. The official residence and administrative headquarters of the monarchy is Lobrecht Palace (Lobrecht-Palast), commonly but incorrectly referred to as Königsreh Palace (Königsreher Schloss), in the borough of Lorenz-Prinzwald. It hosts the vast majority of official functions such as state banquets, public audiences, receptions, royal christenings, and lyings-in-state. Historically, the City Palace (Stadtpalast) was intended and constructed for the purpose of being the Mascyllary monarch's residence in Königsreh, but a devastating fire in 1818 forced Lucas I and his family to acquire Lobrecht Palace, privately built by Count William Gunther of Lobrecht nine years earlier.

The New Palace (Neues Schloss), referred to as Augusthal Palace (Augusthaler Schloss), is considered the second official residence of the monarch, as it has been in continuous use since 1749 as the seat of the Kings of Aldia, and is principally used during weekends and multiple holidays of note; it hosts the assemblies of the Convention of the Realm and the Accession Council. The third quasi-official residence is Hohenehr Palace (Schloss Hohenehr), located near Königsreh at Wittingen, which is frequently used as a summer retreat by the royal family and is the largest single-building inhabited royal residence in the world. Other properties inhabited by members of the royal family include Sybillenhof Palace (Schloss Sybillenhof) and Castle Lauenberg (Burg Lauenberg). Two royal residences are privately inherited properties of the monarch and thus not owned on the virtue of the position as King or Queen: the estate manor of Veilchenbrunn House (Anwesen Veilchenbrunn) and Sandauerholz House (Anwesen Sandauerholz).

A number of residences are no longer used by members of the royal family in some capacity and thus transformed into museums, repurposed, or inherited by individuals not regarded as part of the royal household. Köpenick Palace (Schloss Köpenick), Lucas Palace (Lukaspalais), and Belleau Palace (Schloss Belleau) are museums, Liechtenwald Palace (Schloss Liechtenwald) contains the law faculty of the University of Lehpold, and Schöneiche Palace (Schloss Schöneiche) hosts the headquarters of the Telmerian Union Budgetary Control Committee.

The Agency for Royal Palaces and Property is directly responsible for the management and upkeep of unoccupied residences and those owned by the monarchy, while the Agency of Royal Households cares for and maintains the residences occupied by members of the royal family and those in private ownership. The royal yacht Maskane, which is traditionally used by members on official visits overseas or for summer cruises, is within the responsibility of the Mascyllary Navy.

Titles and styles

Styles of
Queen Dorothy I of Mascylla
Royal cypher of Dorothea I of Mascylla.png
Reference styleHer Majesty
(Ihre Majestät)
Spoken styleYour Majesty
(Eure Majestät)
Alternative styleLady/Dame
(Dame; in third person)
Ma'am
(Madame; in first person)

The most commonly used titles and style of the monarch at present is as follows: "Dorothy the first, Queen of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla and of Her Other Territories in Overseas" ("Dorothea die erste, Königin der Gekrönten Republik Maskillien und Ihrer Anderen Territorien in Übersee").

However, in occasions of state visit reception or acts of national significance, as is the case in the appointment of a Prime Minister or the opening ceremony of the Parliament, the mid-sized style and title is used: "The Queen Dorothy the first of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla and Her Other Territories in Overseas, of Aldia Queen, of Fahnicht, Welsbach, and Birchau Grand Duchess, of Elpsland Sovereign and Supreme Duchess, of Jusland, Morleck, Nelgery, and Holnia Duchess, of Seebronn and Würthburg Burgravess, of Eustria Landgravess, of Falia, Lehpold, Lensrau, Geisahl, and Weibteich Princess, of Ahnern Countess" (Die Königin Dorothea die erste der Gekrönten Republik Maskillien, von Alden Königin, zu Fahnicht, Welsbach und Birchau Großherzogin, zu Elpsland souveräne und oberste Herzogin, zu Jusland, Morleck, Nelgern und Hohlnern Herzogin,zu Seebronn und Würthburg Burggräfin, zu Eystrun Landgräfin, zu Falien, Lehpold, Lensrau, Geisahl und Weibteich Fürstin, zu Ahnern Gräfin").

The correct etiquette to address the monarch in conversation is "Your Majesty" (Eure Majestät) and subsequently as "Ma'am" (Madame) or "Sir" (Herr). Individuals of lesser titles are addressed as follows: "His" or "Her Royal Highness" (Seine or Ihre Königliche Hoheit) for the titles of prince and duke, "The Most Honorable" (Der or Die Höchst Ehrenwerte) for the title of marquess, and "The Honorable" (Der or Die Ehrenwerte) for the titles of count and viscount. Additional styles include "By the Grace of God" (Von Gottes Gnaden) and "Margravess of Warthburg" (Markgräfin zu Warthburg), though these may be added or omitted upon the monarch's request. Moreover, ordinals are used for Mascyllary monarchs regardless of how peculiar or ordinary their name is, and the monarch is asked to choose a regnal name upon accession.

The most important and senior members of the Mascyllary royal family hold the princely title of Prince or Princess of Mascylla (Prinz or Prinzessin von Maskillien), whereas the wider family, in addition to other titles, hold the title of Prince or Princess of Ahnern (Prinz or Prinzessin von Ahnern). Subsidiary titles held by the Monarch and close relatives to them are of historical note, signifying and representing the accumulation and accretion of lands by the House of Ahnern and the Kingdom of Aldia at large.

Orders

The monarch presides over a number of royal orders of chivalry and merit in the Mascyllary honors system and is responsible for recognizing and appointing candidates to the national orders on their sole discretion and behalf. The orders maintain highly symbolic significance in Mascyllary society and politics, and serving politicians and military officials are often awarded membership amid or after their retirement. Male and female members are styled as knights (Ritter) or dames (Damen) of multiple classes of authority respectively.

The most senior and exalted order of knighthood is the Order of the Blue Lion (Orden des Blauen Löwen), outranked in the order of precedence only by the Black Cross (Schwarzes Kreuz), followed by the Order of the Crown (Orden der Krone). Appointments and awards to these orders are almost always in recognition of demonstrating exceptional merit or valor, or particularly noteworthy service to the monarch and the nation, regardless of whether the individual is a civilian or a military officer.

Arms and standard

The monarch possesses the coat of arms of Mascylla as its sovereign, and is described as follows: "A Shield Or, halfed by a slim line with outbent Arms, and an Inescutcheon containing the Dynastic Arms of the Royal Houses. In the first Field three open Antlers Azure, placed over each other. In the second Field three Lions Azure, crowned with open Crowns Or. The Inescutcheon is party per pale the Arms for the House of Welsbach (Bendwise three Antlers Azure); and the House of Ahnern (Azure, three Lions watching over a Fortified Bridge Or and Argent)."

The coat of arms of Queen Dorothy I since 2006, its design in use since the accession of King Maximilian I in 1924.

The royal standard, a personal flag of the differenced version of the coat of arms in banner form defaced with the monarch's royal cypher, is also used in their capacity as sovereign. Similarly to other special flags in use, it is flown only from buildings and vehicles when the monarch is present. The royal standard without a monarch's royal cypher is flown until a successor is elected.

When the monarch is not present at one of their residences, the ordinary Three Bands Flag of Mascylla is flown instead.

Royal family

The Mascyllary royal family is the ambiguously defined group of close relatives surrounding the Queen Dorothy I. The princely title of Prince or Princess of Mascylla (Prinz or Prinzessin von Maskillien) is used by the most senior and significant members of the royal family, whereas the wider family, in addition to other titles, hold the title of Prince or Princess of Ahnern (Prinz or Prinzessin von Ahnern). However, no instrument or document strictly defines who is or is not a member.

Current principal royal family

The core of the Mascyllary royal family comprises as follows, according to the Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household (Herr Kämmerer des Königlichen Haushalts) Alexander von Pappel in 2021:
