The monarchy of Mascylla, officially the Monarchy of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla (Hesurian: Monarchie der Gekrönten Republik Maskillien) and colloquially known as the Mascyllary monarchy (Hesurian: Maskillische Monarchie), is the monarchical and upmost constitutional institution of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla and its Overseas Territories. Current monarch and second historical queen is Dorothea I of the House of Ahnern-Welsbach since 25 November 2005, upon the death of her father, King Lukas III.
A hereditary and constitutional monarchy in essence, it has ruled Mascylla since its inception in 1793, but after the Mascyllary Revolution in 1924 it has been transformed into a ceremonial monarchy under a parliamentary system. The Monarch is bestowed the title of King or Queen of Mascylla (Hesurian: König Maskilliens, Königin Maskilliens), among a variety of others.
The Queen and her close relatives execute a number of official, unofficial, representative and ceremonial duties and roles in Mascylla and abroad. While the Queen has the rights and powers of a constitutional monarch, she does not usually exercise them by herself due to the precedent of common law by her two predecessors, but instead relies on the Reichsrat, Reichssenat and Kronenrat for policymaking, therefore making her a de facto parliamentary monarch as opposed to her role granted by royal prerogative that is stipulated in the Constitution. As the country's fount of honor, the monarch bestows honors and ceremonially appoints elected Prime Ministers, is able to secretly engage in discourse pertaining draft laws, and serves as the nominal commander-in-chief of the Mascyllary Reichswehr.
By the 19th century, Mascylla had developed into an united nation state following the War of the Five Kings and the peace negotiations of the Treaty of Langquaid that followed it. The historical rivalry between the monarchies of Aldia backed by the Elbgau Confederacy and Adwhin concluded with an Aldian victory, absorbing the remaining independent states and proclaiming their king, Lukas I, as Mascylla's monarch and effectively founding the Ahnern royal dynasty. The monarchies of each state within Mascylla were continued however, now under the supervision of the Aldian state. Over the next century, the monarchy ruled the Mascyllary Kingdom albeit with increasing authority and civil dissatisfaction. Culminating in the Mascyllary Revolution in 1923, the monarchy was dissolved at first and then radically reshaped, with the liberal Maximilian I as its figurehead. The fragmentation of the monarchy's powers enabled the foundation of a representative democracy as a parliamentary republic, which continues to rule Mascylla today. While the monarchy and its family is politically indecisive, they retain their cultural and symbolic significance as the country's traditional representatives while enjoying large public popularity.
