#dare I say.. the Roman Empire? 👀

[slutforsilverfoxes]

who is at the wheel in this fandom keeping it from going offroad?

And a similar anon ask: who would you elect as president of this fandom?

An excellent question, anon 🤔

Now, I am but a baby here in the tumblrverse and therefore have yet to meet many of the lovely humans in our cm fandom

That being said I would nominate @criminalskies

Aside from being the kindest soul who’s so super supportive and never fails to make me smile, I think they keep us all sane and tbh would be level-headed enough to run our batshit lil fam/country

As an American, I declare that Rome would win the popular vote AND destroy the electoral college

#rome for president! #President Rome #dare I say.. the Roman Empire? 👀 #no but actually #you’re the best #a real one #and I would trust you to lead our people #anon ask #anon answered

Thanks Nexility ! It might be a bit long! ❤ I hope you like the answers, they are not very... optimistic? 👀

2. What are your country’s succession laws? Is inheritance restricted in any way by legitimacy, age, gender, ability, or other factors? Can your monarch choose their successor?

In serious terms, it's a law of agnatic primogeniture, dear to the very (very) Catholic Francesim. Only boys inherit and bear titles. The heir, the imperial prince, is the first boy born. The Emperor therefore did not choose his successor, theoretically. In practice, the Napoléons sometimes had problems with the succession, where sons were late in coming, and appointed sons-in-law or friends as successors. Nevertheless, this imperial law is highly criticised. Europesim regularly sanctions the French empire for this.

5. Does your monarch have absolute power? If there are limits on their authority, what are they?

In the Imperial Constitution, the Emperor does not really have absolute power, as there are parliamentary chambers. In reality, these chambers have very little power and must submit all their decisions to the Emperor. Moreover, in the case of the Senate, the upper house, all members are appointed by the Emperor. So, yes, in practice the Emperor has almost absolute power. This is inherited from the autocracy of the Romans, dear to Napoléon and the military! Once again, Europesim sanctions this functioning. But does not dare to get rid of an ally as powerful and founding as the Francesim... Diplomatic relations are tense

16. How popular and well-respected is your monarch and the institution of monarchy?

At his election and enthronement of the Third Empire, Napoléon IV had +70% of the votes in favour of reforming the Republican Constitution into an Imperial Constitution. Some suspect that the percentages were rigged. 👀 Nowadays, all the numbers are released by the Emperor, so it's hard to be objective. However, Francesim's Children, Louis and Hortense, enjoy a very (very) high popularity. Their image clearly served to raise the profile of the Empire, and Napoléon IV knew this.

22. If royal marriages must be approved, what does the approval process look like? What kinds of factors are considered? Do all members of the royal family require formal approval, or only those close to the throne?

Indeed, the Emperor's approval is required for marriage. This concerns all those who bear the title of prince! That is to say, those who are descendants of the Emperor (the imperial princes and princesses, the Children of Francesim) but also the princes of the Empire (for example, the Murat family who appear in my story). The criteria are mostly purely Catholic, in theory. It must be a union that would be approved by the Roman Church. In fact, the main and unofficial criteria retained by Napoléon IV: He or she must be Catholic or convert He or she must not be divorced. Same-sex marriages are not allowed. He or she must approve of the imperial regime (and therefore not belong to anarchist groups) He or she must not have a criminal record (him or her, or his or her parents)

23. Are members of the royal family allowed to marry commoners? Are they allowed to marry citizens of other countries?

Commoners could be accepted into an imperial marriage, but as far as the heir to the throne is concerned Napoléon IV is somewhat reluctant. However, nationality and culture did not matter, as long as the person agreed to convert and take an oath to the imperial laws.
