On 2 January 1993, Crown Prince Erik was elected a member of the [[Estelian Hastiluda Committee]] to replace former Emerstarian member [[Katja Holm]], who had retired but served for only one year. His candidature was met with skepticism both in Emerstari and abroad as it was believed he was too young. Further, it was believed that the Prince's loyalty would be towards his country and government rather than towards the committee. Therefore, in 1994, several months before his accession to the throne, he was replaced by [[Uldrik Lorens Ferssen]] and was given special observer status on the committee.
 
He announced that his point of focus and reason for joining the committee was to promote an active lifestyle among both Emerstarian youth and Emerstarians in general. He left the Estelian Hastiluda Committee in 2010 after two terms of eight years.

The expedition marked the 150-year anniversary of the [[Olafsson–Fjellborg Expedition]] when the first Emerstarians mapped all of northern Fyrland.
 
==Reign and Presidency==
On 27 March 1994, Erik XI Deitrik announced his intention of abdicating, and in the afternoon of 7 July, he signed the instrument of abdication in Kuingshall (Emerstarian: King's Hall). Erik XII Georg, however, did not hold his coronation until 25 December 1994, according to Emerstarian tradition.
 
As King, Erik has frequent meetings with members of the [[Foderalkongress]] and with the [[President of Emersari]] as well as his [[Emerstarian Privy Council|Privy Council]]. According to the Emerstarian constitution, he signs royal decrees and legislative bills. With the President, he represents Emerstari domestically and abroad. Additionally, at the Foderellkongress's Oppning (Opening of the Federal Congress), he announces the plans of the government for the year. In 2010, he was elected President of Emerstari and served until 2014.
