The emperor is defined by the [[Constitution of Rumahoki]] as the symbol of the Rumahokian nations and the unity of its people, his position deriving from "...the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power." The Constitution also governs the succession laws and the [[Imperial elections in Rumahoki|electoral process]] in electing the Emperor.

The role of the emperor is relegated to that of a ceremonial head of state without even nominal political powers, with executive power being split between the [[Commander-in Chief of the Imperial Armed Forces (Rumahoki)|Commander-in-Chief]], the {{wp|chief executive}}, and the [[Prime Minister of Rumahoki|Prime Minister]], the {{wp|head of government}}, thus making Rumahoki a sort of "crowned" [[Julian republic]].

The current supreme head of the nation is [[Maximilian I of Rumahoki|Maximilian I]], who was officially elected as emperor on 21 May 1976 after the [[Pact of Eighteen]]. He is one the few heads of state who hold even a nominally imperial title, other extant imperial titles being the semi-defunct and ceremonial [[Emperor of the Levantines]] (permanently belonging to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] since 1920), the largely republican [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] [[Imperator]], the [[Metzetta|Metzettan]] [[Emperor of Metzetta|Emperor]], the [[ | The current supreme head of the nation is [[Maximilian I of Rumahoki|Maximilian I]], who was officially elected as emperor on 21 May 1976 after the [[Pact of Eighteen]].

Laws surrounding the electoral system have made it so that the imperial election will not happen until after the emperor either passes on or abdicates. While the emperor may train a specific member of the imperial family for the eventual role as future emperor, the emperor may not name a successor nor may he be involved in the election process should he abdicate. | ||
The election of the emperor is entrusted to a committee of forty-one, chosen by eleven persons, who in turn were {{wp|Sortition|chosen by lot}} from a group of forty-five people chosen by nine persons chosen from a committee of twenty-five, who in turn were chosen by a group of twelve selected from a group of forty that were elected by a group of nine; that group being chosen from amongst a group of thirty members chosen by lot from amongst the membership of the [[Congress of the Peerage]]. This complex electoral machinery is intended to prevent foreign interference in imperial elections as well as to ensure a consistently orderly election. The quorum for each election is as follows: twenty-five out of forty-one, nine out of twelve, or seven out of nine. The one selected to become emperor becomes [[King in Vallos]] until his coronation. | The election of the emperor is entrusted to a committee of forty-one, chosen by eleven persons, who in turn were {{wp|Sortition|chosen by lot}} from a group of forty-five people chosen by nine persons chosen from a committee of twenty-five, who in turn were chosen by a group of twelve selected from a group of forty that were elected by a group of nine; that group being chosen from amongst a group of thirty members chosen by lot from amongst the membership of the [[Congress of the Peerage]].

During the coronation, the King in Vallos is presented to the people in attendance with the words: "Sirs and Dames, I hereby present unto you Emperor/Empress (name), undoubtedly your Emperor/Empress if it please you: wherefore all of you who are here on this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?"
