Monarchy of Grassland

The monarchy of Grassland, commonly referred to as the Grasslandic monarchy, is the constitutional monarchy of Grassland and its overseas territories. The current monarch and head of state, King Gashi II, ascended the throne on the death of his father, King Gashi I, on 6 February 1969.

The monarch and his or her immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honours and appointing the Prime Minister. The monarch is commander-in-chief of the Grasslandic Armed Forces. Though the ultimate formal executive authority over the government of Grassland is still by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent.
