The Head of the Imperial Britannic Federation is the ceremonial head of the Imperial Britannic Federation, a vast federal union of approximately fifty-six member states. Constitutionally, the role is strictly a ceremonial one, with the day-to-day operations of the federation being done by the Chancellor. With that, the role itself does not have a set term limit, and the officeholder has always been the reigning monarch of the federation, currently Queen Alexandra.
The office was first founded on 25 June 1937, in line with the founding of the Imperial Britannic Federation, which came about following extensive negotiations and discussions at the 1937 Imperial Conference in London, where leaders from the United Kingdom, Australia, Burma, Canada, Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, and India, collectively agreed on the formation of a single, wide-spanning federal union as a popular and viable alternative to the existing colonial structure of the British Empire, as well as a response to the gradual rise in popularity of decolonisation in Britain's many overseas colonies.
