The Prince of the United Angle States is a lifetime position like most other monarchies, but unlike many [[Levantia|Levantine]] monarchies it is an {{wp|elective monarchy}}. Upon the death of the Prince, ten thousand citizens are chosen at random to serve in a body called the "Principal Electorate". These citizens then elect from their number 300 members who serve as the "Council for Succession and the State of the Union", who are responsible for deliberating and choosing the next Prince. There are no limitations on who may serve as Prince (or Princess) other than being an individual who is a baptized member in good standing of the [[Levantine Catholic Church]] and is at least age 25. In practice, the House of Porter has ruled Anglei since its inception, though the Council has not always chosen along the line of direct {{wp|primogeniture}}. This system of succession has sometimes been referred to as "electoral sortition". | The Prince of the United Angle States is a lifetime position like most other monarchies, but unlike many [[Levantia|Levantine]] monarchies it is an {{wp|elective monarchy}}.
