The Emperor of China, or Huángdì (Chinese: 皇帝) is the monarch of China during its imperial period, from the Qin dynasty to the Qing dynasty, then from the revival of the imperial system at the founding of the Empire of Amenria until the unification of Earth in the 22nd century. With Tianshi's reforms on succession laws, the title is now a gender neutral term and it is thus possible for any member of the Starchild Sorority to claim it once her father dies, instead of defaulting to "Empress".
Power
Heredity and succession
Spouses, concubines, and children
Spouses
In the Yuzhou dynasty, the emperor is allowed up to four spouses if male and only one if female. All spouses of the male emperor bear the title of "Empress" and are of equal rank, while the spouse of a female emperor would simply be addressed as the emperor's husband and wield the same amount of power an Empress would.
Concubines
Theoretically, the emperor can have as many concubines as he likes, although there are currently less than 10 concubines in Amenria, a tiny number compared to the harems of previous emperors, due to the standards of the current emperor. All concubines are legally equal and formally wield the same amount of power, but due to the dynamic nature of relations between the concubines and the emperor, the concubines and the rest of the government, the concubines and the general public, or even the concubines among themselves, one or more concubine(s) can be more influential than others.
Concubines are given the right to represent the Ramadhan Family in the parliament for any number of terms, but not consecutively (e.g if Dianne currently occupies a seat in the parliament, she can only do so again after another concubine has used her right until Dianne can do so again).
