The Empire of West Phoenicia has retained a monarch as their head of State since the unification of city-states in 1586.

The right of a monarchy is outlined in the West Phoenician Constitution

Prior to a number of states breaking away from The Empire of Greater Phoenicia to form West Phoenicia, the region was under the reign of two royal dynasties.

Royal Houses of Greater Phoenicia

House of Imperium

The House of Imperium was the founding royal house to rule the Empire of Greater Phoenicia from 1130.

After a number of successful battles he was raised up as the first monarch of the new kingdom.

He went on to conquer neighbouring nations building up the kingdom.

He was a strong benevolent leader; feared by his enemies and loved by the citizens.

As the first supreme ruler of the region his rule would set the tone for future generations. After 15 years on the throne, he was murdered by his second wife using poisoned dates.

Murder, intrigue, deceit, war and power would set the tone for the region during the reign of the House of Imperium.
