The monarchy of Makko Oko is the constitutional form of government by which a hereditary sovereign, or a designated individual by will, reigns as the head of state of the Empire Of Makko Oko and all administrative territories. The current monarch is Emperor Conall Solis, who ascended to the throne on September 13th, 2019 upon the ending of the Civil Transition War.

The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. The monarchy is absolute, meaning that they hold ultimate and absolute authority over all matters of state. This is in accordance with Section 7, articles 24 and 25 of the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko, the nation's Constitution.

The monarchy was unofficially established after Emperor Solis came to power, with the monarchy lacking any hereditary rules for accession, and basing accession on the Emperor's will. This changed on June 20th, 2023, after the enactment of the Crown Act Of 2023 to replace the Bill Of Emperor's Passages. The Crown Act established the Imperial Crown and Family, along with the Privy Council and the role of Imperial Consort. With that came accession by blood and the establishment of male primogeniture, which mandates that males be preferred over females for accession. That date is considered to be the official establishment of the monarchy.

Restrictions & Requirements

For one to be able to ascend to the throne, one must be a direct descendant or blood-related family member of the reigning monarch and not be of or exceed the age of 70, as set out under Privy Council Order #2. In addition, one must not hold any criminal convictions of a serious nature and must prove their allegiance to the state religion before the council. Due to the preference of males, one must be a male, or the chance to become the next monarch is extremely low. There are currently no provisions on non-binary and other gender conformations for the line of succession.
