Happy holidays <3 I really like your posts! I would like to ask you question 1 and 7 !
Happy Holidays! And hi there, thank you for stopping by - itβs a real treat. I really enjoy, the alternate universe youβve built and the idea of what if the French empire was still in existence. I think it adds an interesting storytelling element that I enjoy.Β So thank you for the question it's greatly appreciated.
1. What kind of government does your country have?
The United Kingdom of Great Briton and Γriu is very proud of their constitutional monarchy who prides themselves on the fact they a democracy, though the head of their country is technically unelected. But in the spirit of democracy, they do in fact vote for MPs that will represent them in the House of Commons, though they don't have the ability to elect the hereditary peers that sit in the House of Lords but that's another issue for a different time. Technically the country is run by the Prime Minister, because the role of the monarchy is suppose to be and largely is ceremonial. Though if we're being honest, the reigning sovereign has more power then people think but because no one wants to be the King or Queen who loses everything in a revolution that transforms the country into a republic, it's best they don't test to see how much power they actual posses.
7. What titles are used in your country? Are there any special titles unique to your country? (e.g., Hereditary Prince, Princess Royal)
The title that uniquely belongs to them is the title of Prince of Cymru which came into their possession in the thirteenth century when the King of Albion Elric the First killed the last Prince of Cymru in battle during his conquest of the land. The title has been used since for all heirs because of a cheeky agreement King Elric made with the remaining leaders of the Cymru armies. King Alasdair I had considered doing away with the title when he fought and won the crown, but wanting to bring legitimacy to his newly created royal house chose to use the title and it's stuck ever since. The only other title that's really special is the title of Princess Royal, which was borrowed from the French because Edward I wanted a special distinction for his eldest daughter and noticed the French Monarch at the time was using the title of Madame Royale for his eldest daughter and wanting to lift something from the French, decided to make his own. Thus came into existence the honorary title of Princess Royal, that has been given to the reigning monarch's eldest daughter ever since.
