The Empress of the Californian Empire is the head of state of Californian Empire. The Empress leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the Commander-In-Chief of the Californian Empire Armed Forces.

Article 3, Sections 1 & 2 of the 2300 Californian Empire Constitution vests the executive power in the Empress and charges her with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Parliament. The Empress is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves and to convene and adjourn the Parliament under extraordinary circumstances. The power of the Empress and the federal government has grown substantially. The Empress, despite possessing no formal legislative powers beyond signing or vetoing Parliament passed bills, is largely responsible for dictating the legislative agenda of Parliament and the foreign and domestic policy of Californian Empire.
