The monarchy of Cavia, commonly referred to as the Cavian monarchy, is the constitutional monarchy of Cavia, its dependencies and its overseas territories. The current monarch and head of state, King Oscar I, ascended the throne on the death of his father, King Roger III, on 28 March 1980.
The monarch and his or her immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honours and confirming the appointment the Prime Minister. The monarch is commander-in-chief of the Cavian Armed Forces. Though the ultimate formal executive authority over the government of Cavia is still by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent.
The Cavian monarchy traces its origins from the petty kingdoms of early tribal Cavia, which united into the kingdom of Cavia and Cricetinia by the 11th century AD. In 1024, the united Cavian and Cricetinian forces defeated the invading colonialist Bearilean and Whitetailish armies, crowning their joint commander, Oscar the Founder as Cavian monarch, granting him full political control over the new nation of Cavia, legally defined by the Cavian Constitution in 1025.
From then until the 1440s, the monarch's power was virtually unchecked, which continued up until the Western Revolt. The Western Revolt comprised of over 800,000 revolutionaries from the western portion of the nation, which was being heavily taxed by reigning monarch King Alex II due to its economical value as an agricultural powerhouse. The revolutionaries demanded a representative democracy, similar to the system recently adopted in Sheepers.
The monarchy fought the revolutionaries until 1442, until their defeat at the Battle of Palace Oak, which prompted a large rewriting of the Constitution, essentially converting the monarchy into a figurehead. A Parliament composed of two houses was created, as well as a Cabinet that was created to report to government the opinions of citizens, as well as redrawing of political boundaries, based mainly on population. After the new Constitution was approved, the monarchy's duties became purely ceremonial. The ratification of the revised Constitution is known as the end of the medieval era.
In 1688, King Roger I died without an heir to the throne, leaving his younger brother, Prince James IV's two-year-old son, Prince James V, as the heir apparent. Thus, the Cavian Cabinet was asked to raise James V to the legal ruling age of 16, at which age he could ascend to the throne. However, the Cabinet disregarded these instructions, and Harold Darry, the Cabinet's appointed leader, took the throne as King Harold I. However, Parliament attempted to revoke him from doing so, prompting Darry's supporters to engage in a civil war with the military. The Cavian military easily outnumbered and defeated the supporters, executing Derry and leaving Prince James IV with the throne until his son's coming-of-age.
In 1921, with the formation of Hamster’s Region, Sealen Island, and the Cavian Outlying Islands(St. Terry’s Island, Greentree Island, Jovaih Bank, Brancan Bank, Sosoliy Atoll, and Northumber Island) collectively as Cavian Overseas Territories, the Cavian sovereign, King Roger II, would become the official monarch of all eight overseas territories, with his official title in those territories as 'Overseas Monarch'.
Cavia and eight other Overseas monarchies that share the same person as their monarch are called Overseas realms. The terms Cavian monarchy and Cavian monarch are frequently still employed in reference to the shared individual and institution; however, each territory is autonomous and independent of the others, and the monarch has a different, specific, and official national title and style for each realm.
