The Serene Monarchy, also referred to as the Esonian Monarchy, is the traditional monarchy of the Serene Kingdom of Esonice. It is defined as a hereditary monarcho-theocratic institution in which the reigning monarch legitimasies his or her rule by claiming descent and/or claiming to be the avatar incarnation of the mythical "demigod" Jinjin, the first Serene Monarch allegedly descending from Bimotarasu and Tsukomichibiku, the San and Moon Spirits and rulers of Heaven who granted Jinjin supreme dominion over all under Heaven.

In Esonian political ideology, the Serene Monarch or Emperor, in Esonian known as the "Jinnō" (神皇, literally "divine ruler" or "divine sovereign" and sometimes but rarely "god-emperor"), is a universal monarch who has absolute authority over the Eurth, acting as the bridge between the realm of the living, the realm of spirits and Heaven. As such, the Serene Monarch plays a very important role in Esonice's indigenous Shinshist beliefs, having to balance appeasing the spirits to avoid their wrath on the realm of the living and the needs of the people. To help the Serene Monarch in his role, the "The Five Principles of Rule" (Esonian: 統治五原則, tӧchi go gansoku) were developed in the 11th century A.D by Shinshi priests, encompassing that the Serene Monarch has to adhere to the principles of benevolence, righteousness, integrity, courage and wisdom in his rule.

Today, since 1941, the Serene Monarch plays largely a ceremonial role. The Serene Monarch's role is recognised by the Inmin Constitution as the symbol of Esonice representing its people both at home and abroad, his position deriving from "the will of the nation whom resides sovereign power", also recognised as the head of the Shinshi religion. In accordance with the Inmin Constitution and legal rulings, the Serene Monarch is personally immune from prosecution. Since the early 11th century, the Serene Monarch and other members of the Serene Imperial Family have resided in the Orange Palace in Maimedo, located in the historic core of the city where once stood a Yasic gord. Previously, the Serene Monarch reigned from Hasakyō on the Nagaoka Peninsula on Lake Bishimu. The Serene Emperor's Birthday (currently 24 September) is a national holiday.

Minari is the current Serene Emperor of Esonice, ascending to the Hibiscus Throne at the age of 15 after the tragic demise of Serene Emperor Jüteku and his mother in 1991 in the 1991 Tenchi Airlines Disaster while returning from Selbourne, Seylos to Maimedo.
