The Imperium of the Protectorate was founded by Willhelm Octavius I when he set out north from the lands of Madina with the men of the Black Regiment. He ahd left to found an empire, and found one he did. After many days of travel he found the Chateau Saffalore besieged by monsters. He fought a firece battle agains the monsters, killing most and driving away the rest, the local population was so grateful that they offered him their region to become the capital of their new empire. And so the Imperium of the Protectorate was born.

Government

The Imperium of the Protectorate is a Monarchy, but in practice it is a constitutional, rather than absolute, monarchy. Whilst the hereditary Emperor holds much of the power his decisions are regulated and even overturned by the civil government. The system was designed by Willhelm I to restrict the powers of the Emperor so that a single mad ruler could not destroy the entire realm as happened during the reign of King Gaihui the Mad in Abington.

The lowest level of government is the Imperial Parliament, a body composed of all the nobles of the realm and where everyone, regardless of rank is equal. Its powers, however, are limited to electing one representative to the Privy Council and the Canbinet from amongst its number. Anyone is elligible to stand provided their self-nomination is seconded by two other Members of Parliament (MP). The nominee who receives the most votes (porvided more than half all the MPs voted) is sent to the Privy Council and the Cabinet as the Parliamentary Representative (PR). In order to ensure that the PR is not subject to undue influence he must swear an oath of alleigance solely to the crown upon his winning the election. he is subject to reelection every three months or

The Cabinet is the next level up and acts as the main civilian branch of government from which Privy Concillors are elected, it also has the power to propose legislation to the Privy Council. Its members consist of all the Dukes of the Realm, the Home Minister (Judge), the Defence Minister (General), the Lord Chancellor (Banker), the Prime Minister and the Parliamentary Representative. The Emperor is forbidden from having a seat on the Cabinet, no matter what other titles he has. All laws must be proposed in Cabinet and be seconded by another Cabinet member before they ,ove onto the Privy Council for approval.

Above the Cabinet comes the Privy Council, this is an advisory body to the Emperor and has the power to approve legislation. It consists of the Emperor, the Prime Minister, the Parliamentary Representative, the Home Minister and the Lord Chancellor. It has the power to approve or reject legislation according to a majority vote where the Emperor has three votes, the Parliamentary Representative has two votes and all the other Privy Councillors one vote each. In times of war it can be suspended as the main decision making, but not legislature making, body by the War Cabinet.
