The Doge of the Most Serene and Auspicious Republic (Cavarzerian: Doxe de Serenìsima è Auspixio Repùblica) is the head of state and chief executive of Cavarzere. The first Doge was Dioclexiano Cavarseran in 1062, after securing the city its independence. From 1062 until 1867, the Doge was democratically elected by the inhabitants of city and held for life, in line with the city's history as a maritime republic. However, political instability led to the patrician House of Dandorana securing the position in perpetuity. The rule in perpetuity has led many to consider Cavarzere a monarchical state. The Dandorana family have held the office uninterrupted since 1867. The current monarch is Doge Leonardo.
The monarchy is typically composed of the reigning doge and his spouse and children, and the entire ducal household which is comprised of staff and those who assist the doge in carrying out their constitutional duties. The monarchy is always represented by the reigning doge, his spouse and eldest children. Since December 2017, the monarchy is represented by Doge Leonardo, his younger brother, Duke Bartolomeo II Dondorana, the doge's children, Serene Prince Tranquilo, Serene Princess Giovanna, Serene Princess Dianora and Serene Prince Enrico.
The current system finds its roots decades prior to independence, with the Duchy of Cavarzere, also known as the Duchy of the Lagoon, under the Latin Empire. However, the collapse of the empire in 1060, saw Dioclexiano Cavarseran secure the city's independence, assuming the title of Doge (Doxe from the Latin for Duke). Throughout much of the city's history, no family could hold the post for more than one consecutive reign, ensuring the republic's quasi-republican and democratic nature. The Devotion of Cavarzere to the Dandorana, ensured that the post would only be held by one patrician family, establishing the city's first true dynasty.
