The Monarchy of Vozh, often called the Vozhsk Royal Household, is the constitutional monarchyof Vozh. The title of the incumbent is "High King of the Vozhski" (Vozhsk: Velihoje Hrolj nu Vozhske) and serves as the countries Head of State. The current High King, Aleksandr was coronated on 1 April, 2081, shortly after the end of the War of Independence.
The High King is a primarily ceremonial position, with the Vozhsk constitution ascribing them no royal prerogative or executive functions. The High King's official duties include representing Vozh in a diplomatic function, acting as a personal manifestation of the Vozhsk nation, and managing lands held by the Royal Estate.
History
The Vozhsk monarchy is extremely young, having only been created in early 2081. It draws many of its traditions from the rulers of the Vyatichi Maritime Empire, considered a golden age by Vozhsk nationalists.
Role
Traditions
As part of its homage to Vozh's Vyatichi traditions, the Vozhsk royal family is formally recognized as belonging to the Vyatich clan. Aleksandr and his descendants were formally adopted into the clan on February 28, 2081. This gives the Vozhsk monarch pretense to claim lordship over the dozens of Vozhsk clans confederated under Clan Vyatich. Following the tradition of the ancient Vyatich kings, the High Kings are coronated on the deck of a warship. Only Catholics belonging to the Vozhsk autocephalous church are permitted to hold the crown.
Titles
Most royal and lordly titles in Vozhsk are unisex. However, they follow male grammar rules, and are thus usually translated into other language as masculine. Thus a hypothetical female monarch would carry the title "High King", and not "High Queen". The full style of the Vozhsk monarch is: "By the Grace of God, High King of the Vozhski, Prince of Kősdány and of Metrodin, Protector of the Muslimani and the Jews, Sheriff of the Sacred Places, Lord of the Islands, State-in-Person, Highest Diplomat, and Head of the Federation"
