Monarchy of El Kadsre

The monarchy of El Kadsre  is a constitutional system of government in which a hereditary diarchy is the sovereign and is a de jure heads of state of El Kadsre. Naruhito serves as the Emperor of El Kadsre since 2019 and Charles III serves as the King of El Kadsre since 2022. This unique diarchy system dates back to the establishment of Georgeland in 1914. Both heads of state have a official representative in El Kadsre, Naruhito is represented by Junzō Sagara, the Zaihikoku Minister of the Imperial Institute in Aritonesia, and Charles III is represented by Armando Ruanova, the Governor-General of El Kadsre.

After Bob Toshi amended the 1989 Constitution of El Kadsre, El Kadsre attempted to transition from the constitutional diarchy 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 sole 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 diarchy 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 diarchy, nearly half of them were over 60. Following Elizabeth II’s death, the institutional referendum was declared and 67% voted to remove Charles III as a head of state while 33% voted to keep the diarchy as is. El Kadsreian president Ryo Kimura announced El Kadsre’s transition to the presidential republic, retaining Naruhito as a monarch until the end of his reign, on September 27, 2022, and the transition is expected to reach completion on September 27, 2023. The decision of the transition was strongly opposed by Vlokist and monarchist politicians, who made many attempts to stop the transition, leading to a ongoing dispute between Vlokist groups and the government which has included a failed coup attempt, an ongoing campaign to launch a recall election and several court challenges over alleged violations of the 2012 Constitution which was to be rewritten. The results of the referendum were later recalled due to "irregularities", which later to be unveiled that 65% voted in favor of, although the transition is still planned to go ahead.

Some El Kadsreians despised the system, that they joined the republicanist movement while the rest flee to nations that are presidental republics.

Cultural role
Elizabeth II visited El Kadsre three times. Her first visit was in 1978 when El Kadsre was part of the Vlokozu Union, her second visit was in 1990 and her third and final visit was in 2003.

Hirohito made several annual visits to El Kadsre, the last of which took place several months prior to his death.

Numerous past royals from the British and Japanese monarchy have had buildings named for them, including the Queen Elizabeth II Building, Glonisla and the Yoshihito Building, Princetown.

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.
