The Monarchy of Atmora, is the constitutional monarchy and head of state of the Atmoran Confederation whose incumbent is titled as the High King or Queen of Atmora (Dutch: Hoge Koning(in) van Atmora). The current monarch and head of state, High Queen Katherine II, ascended the throne upon the abdication of her father, High King Willem III, on 26 May 2012.

The Constitution of the Atmoran Confederation written in the Anthold Conference of 1813 had given the monarch of Lieseltania the Presidium of the Confederation (Presidium der Statenbond) as a symbol of Atmoran unity and personification of the Atmoran state. As the Atmoran Monarch, Katherine II may at anytime under Section 3 of the Constitution to summon the Federal Princes of Atmora to the Conference of Sovereigns, to address concerns of the Atmoran Confederation. As was done by Katherine I in the Castalien Conference of 1943, to address the fascist AVU Chancellor Louwrens van Geuzendam government, granting Katherine I emergency powers to curtail constitutional limitations.

Origins

Main articles: Koningsbrief and Proclamation of the Atmoran Confederation

Following the defeat of the Kingdom of Asvarre, Kingdom of Gallia, and the Kingdom of Huldenberg during the Atmoran Unification War, in which the Wolfsche League called upon the Princes of Atmora to convene at Pruzhana for the 1812 Conference of Sovereigns for Rijksverkiezing, Chancellor Moltke and Queen Alexandra of Lieseltania with the support of the Wolfsche League and the pro-Lieselania states pushed for Alexandra to be given the title of "High Queen of Atmora" (Hoge Koningin van Atmora). The sovereigns of Alsatia, Gallia, Huldenberg, Lippe, Leuven, and Sayn-Ravenstein were represented by a Rijksstadhouder (Lord Lieutenant of the Realm).

Constitutional Role

The High Queen serves as the personification and embodiement of the unification of the Atmoran Confederation, serving as the constitutional monarch along with primus inter parus with the Atmoran Federal Princes. Serving as the living embodiement of the Atmoran state the High Queen serves as the arbitrator and guardian of Atmoran national unity and independence. As such power is not vested by divine right, but through consent of the governed.
