The Throne

To Do

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Overview

Created at the founding of the Empire the role of Empress is that of leading the Empire through times of troubles; whether that be military, political or economic has not mattered historically. When the Empire requires a single point of decision making, or needs to reform its institutions, it is the position of Empress that provides that executive authority.

Role within the Empire

As a titular figurehead of the Empire the role of Empress provides an essential decision making facility in emergencies; where as the Senate must debate for hours to achieve anything the capability of the Empress to make and deploy rapid responses in crisises has been proved vital on a number of occassions. It also has expressed the vulnerability of so much power located in an individual at points in the empire's history and that has meant that currently there are powers in other Imperial institutions to recall the Empress if such is required again.

Entry Requirements

To become Empress is the childhood ambition of so many boys and girls when they play their childhood games and for some it lasts far into their adulthood but it is so difficult a task that few would ever have even a sliver of a chance of success.

Any Imperial citizen in good standing may be nominated for the throne of the Empress by a Senator when the Iron Voice hosting the session of the Senate asks if there is to be a candidate for the throne (this is a convention of every Senate session and it is very rare that any Senator will meet the Speaker's eyes when it is asked).

Given the difficulty of the election and the arduous nature of the role then it is felt that any candidate is often needed to be head and shoulder's above their piers, though sometimes a political compromise wins through.
