On the Matter of a Monarch: UPDATED AND REVISED
Titus
While we may be members of the eUnited Kingdom, it has come to my attention that our great nation and its citizens are lacking in a crucial part of what makes us the United Kingdom: we do not have a monarch.
I move that, first, we establish a position of Monarch; the position, whether held by man or woman, will act as Regent by gracing social, regional, diplomatic and political events with their presence. While the populace of the eUK will retain the full right to elect a government, and for that government to appoint ministers and elect regional leaders, the Monarch shall act to dignify the actions of the eUK in all things. The Monarch will not be able to appoint any person to any position, governmental or otherwise, and the person elected shall not hold any other office.
Second, that this person will be elected on the Fifth of each month, via a majority of 'yay' votes.Whether the election shall be held on these forums or somewhere in eRepublik shall be decided at a later point.
Special provisions to the second part of the motion: the first elections should be held ASAP (dependent on the passage of this motion), and the first monarch should be allowed to reign until the 5th of May.
tl;dr: We oughta have royalty (strictly powerless), we should elect 'em every fifth of each month (except for the first time, which oughta be ASAP),and they should go until May 5th.

Like it was said in the topic on the forums i believe that in the first instance the monarch should be elected. but from there on in the monarch should hand pick a successor or decide to stay on.
There is then nothing to stop the monarch apponting a prince of wales sort of position where the new person would be groomed for taking over as king/queen and benefit from the current monarchs experience.
Queen Piper 😃

Being from Canada, the Queen is pretty much just someone who appears on our money 😛 While I personally don\'t see the need for this, I guess it would better represent the real UK here in the eUK and help it stand out as a nation.
Piper M\'lady!

Oh god, this is going to turn into some perverse thunderbirds series...
Excellent idea, what a good observation, why has no-one thought of this before?! RULE BRITANNIA! We must have a monarchy if we\'re to remain a great and grand nation of erepublik
