Monarchy of El Kadsre

The monarchy of El Kadsre  is a constitutional system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign and is a de jure head of state of El Kadsre. Queen Elizabeth II became the monarch of El Kadsre following the beginning of the Split era in 1958 and Charles III became a current monarch following her death in 2022.

After Bob Toshi amended the 1989 Constitution of El Kadsre, El Kadsre attempted to transition from the constitutional monarchy to the presidental republic but failed following the 2011 El Kadsreian coup d'état, the constitutional monarchy system was restored. However, Angélique Vlokozu converted El Kadsre to a semi-presiential constitutional monarchy following her assumption to power in 2012.

Nearly all Vlokists and forces like the El Kadsre Special Security Committee continue to recognize British monarch as the head of state of El Kadsre, but some people do not recognize it even though Queen Elizabeth II continued to use the title.

The constitutional monarchy system has been very controversial in El Kadsre, even when it was first introduced, as El Kadsre was one of the only nations in the Commonwealth that was never colonized by the British during the colonial period. According to 2022 opinion polls, 60.5% of the population were against the monarchy, nearly half of them were over 60. Following Elizabeth II’s death, the institutional referendum was declared and 67% voted to remove the monarchy as the head of state while 33% voted to keep the monarchy. El Kadsreian president Ryo Kimura announced El Kadsre’s transition to the presidential republic on September 27, 2022 and the transition will be completed on September 27, 2023.

Some El Kadsreians despised the system, that they joined the republicanist movement while the rest flee to nations that are presidental republics. There are even rumours that El Kadsre was planning to remove the British monarch as the head of state and become the presidental republic on the second El Kadsre Day after Elizabeth II’s death.

Current position
On 21 July 2007, the recently-elected President Bob Toshi vowed to abolish the monarchy and declare El Kadsre as a full presidential republic, with Palmer Hamilton losing his status as Governor-General. He also planned El Kadsre to be withdrawn from the Commonwealth of Nations. Those changes would be reverted and his plans to remove Elizabeth II as a head of state failed after the 2011 El Kadsreian coup d'état, but Ryo Kimura amended the 2011 Constitution in 2015 by converting El Kadsre into a semi-presidential constitutional monarchy. However, this status is disputed by the Kayos family, Vlokist extremist groups such as the Anti Fascists of So-Called El Kadsre, and the El Kadsreian military.
