Fiction:The Core Federation/Monarchy

The Monarchy of the Core Federation is the highest position in the CorFed, second only to being High Viceroy. It is a federated monarchy: the Queen Regnant (as Ravenrii think that a King is not worthy of ruling), sovereign of the Ravenrii, is elected by 25 Viceroys, each of whom rules over one of the federation's 25 states, to serve for a life term, unless she is impeached or dies. Every time a Queen abdicates the throne or is impeached, a new Queen is selected frm one of the Ravenrii's Five Royal Families, though the family of the past Queen is usually favoured. The Queen is the ruler of all Ravenrii, and has a large symbolic and physical role in Ravenrii society: the Queens are thought to be the purest Ravenrii, making them the closes to to their master, Kkia'Sihm.
