The Emperor of the Empire of Makko Oko is both the head of government and the head of state. Makko Oko has an authoritarian system wherein there is a sole leader, who is not elected, that makes virtually all decisions, in addition to their cabinet ministers. The office of Emperor has existed since Makko Oko's liberation from the old, Presidential government in 2019 after the end of the Civil Transition War. The title of Emperor was made official in 2022 with the official enactment of the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko, or the Constitution, with the monarchy being established a year later. Emperors can only be removed by the Privy Council subject to the restrictions established for doing so under the Crown Act of 2023.
The first Emperor of Makko Oko, was Conall Solis, who had fought with the Christian Nationalist Front during the war and made their way up to Lieutenant General. Conall Solis has been the shaping individual of the nation since the war, enacting many laws and making many changes different to that of the Republic. To this day, they are still the current Emperor, serving since September of 2019. Some of the things the Emperor does is meeting with cabinet ministers and other leaders in the nation regarding domestic matters such as the military, appointing cabinet ministers, writing and approving legislative text to become law, and representing Makko Oko internationally.
Appointment
The Emperor of Makko Oko is the Monarch per the Crown Act of 2023, and is both appointed and coronated by the Privy Council of Makko Oko. Per the statute, only the heir apparent can be coronated as the Monarch, unless the reigning Monarch so decrees prior to their death or abdication. The line of succession is solely managed by the Privy Council to prevent tampering and corruption.
Powers and Responsibilities
Section 7: Executive Power
Section 7, Article 24 states "The Emperor is to be the head of state and the head of government."
Section 7, Article 26
The Emperor has the full constitutional right to repeal, enact and revise laws and orders (Emperor's Orders) as they see fit.
War and foreign affairs powers
The Emperor is the Commander-In-Chief of the Liberation Forces, usually represented by the Minister of Defense. This makes the Emperor the senior most military official, and the Emperor has unchecked control over engagements. The Emperor can declare war at will, and sign peace treaties without the consent of the Privy Council, the Law Council or the Military Cabinet.
Administrative powers
The Emperor can hire, terminate, promote or demote any civil servant at will, and can reorganize, form and dissolve government departments at will.
Juridical powers
The Emperor reserves the full authority to appoint judges to any national court of the Empire, as they see fit. Emperors may also grant pardons and reprieves.
Two doctrines concerning executive power have developed that enable the Emperor to exercise executive power with a degree of autonomy. The first is executive privilege, which allows the Emperor to withhold from disclosure any communications made directly to the Emperor in the performance of executive duties. The state secrets privilege allows the Emperor and the executive branch to withhold information or documents from discovery in legal proceedings if such release would harm national security.
The Emperor reserves the right under executive sovereignty to restrict judicial review powers of the courts.
Succession
Upon the death of an Emperor, per the Crown Act of 2023, the Privy Council is to immediately convene a meeting and confirm the line of succession, then appoint and coronate the next Emperor. Should there be none or shall it not be possible, the Privy Council shall choose a competent official from the Executive Cabinet and name them Emperor, and if that is unsuccessful, the Military Cabinet, and if that is unsuccessful, the council shall choose one of their own members to be Emperor. In the event that the Privy Council lacks any members, or enough members to call quorum, the Law Council shall take over the duties of the council and abide by each article under this Section as if they were the Privy Council.
Restrictions by Sex and Religion
Succession is regulated by the Crown Act of 2023 in multiple ways. One of them is by sex, where succession is done by male-preference primogeniture, under which sons inherit before daughters, and elder children inherit before younger ones of the same sex. Another one is by religion, wherein only royals that can prove their allegiance and faith to the state religion (Christianity) can ascend to the throne. The public has called for the male-preferred succession rule to be repealed to be ignored.
Restrictions by Criminal Record
Under Section 4, Article 19, any person that is going to ascend to the throne cannot have any serious infractions on their record. The full provision reads: "No persons with criminal records, excluding those of minor affairs, may ascend to the monarchy under this article." This provision makes Makko Oko the world's first monarchy to restrict succession by criminal history.
