The '''Rumahokian Emperor''' ([[Classical Latin|Latin]]: ''Imperator Rumahocius''; [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Emperador Rumajoquense''; [[Brenadine Tainean|Reform Tainean]]: ''Empeirataur Roumahaukien''), also styled as the '''Supreme Head of the Nation''' (Latin: ''Nationis Summus Princeps''; Pelaxian: ''Jefe Supremo de la Nación''; Reform Tainean: ''Kasike Nitainau des Kasikasgau''), is the {{wp|head of state}} and, by virtue of being the [[Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Armed Forces (Rumahoki)|commander-in-chief of the armed forces]], the {{wp|chief executive}} of [[Rumahoki]]. In Rumahokian terms the monarchy is the supreme magistracy of the country, in other words, the holder of the highest office in Rumahoki.

The powers, functions and duties of the imperial office, as well as their relation with the [[Prime minister of Rumahoki|prime minister]] and [[Privy Council of Rumahoki]], is highly unusual for a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} and {{wp|liberal democracy}} given the {{wp|elective monarchy|elective}} nature of the monarchy, and the emperor actually having executive powers under such a system thanks to him also being commander-in-chief. The supreme head of the nation is also the holder of the title [[Viceroy of Los Rumas]], two foreign ducal titles, and grand master of the [[Knights of St. Brendan]] and of the [[Legion of Honour of Rumahoki]].
The powers, functions and duties of the imperial office is highly unusual for a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} and {{wp|liberal democracy}} given the {{wp|elective monarchy|elective}} nature of the monarchy, and the fact that the imperial office is one of the least powerful monarchical offices in the world, in a sense making Rumahoki a sort of "crowned" [[Julian republic]]. The supreme head of the nation is also the holder of the title [[Viceroy of Los Rumas]], two foreign ducal titles, and grand master of the [[Knights of St. Brendan]] and of the [[Legion of Honour of Rumahoki]].


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]].

The current monarchy of [[Rumahoki]] wasn't the first attempt at a unified monarchy over the former [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]], nor was it the only instance of monarchical rule in modern Rumahoki. For many years, the eastern half of the subcontinent of [[Vallos]] has had many realms under the rule of various petty monarchs, many of which were swept away by either the [[Vallos#Piratocracies|piratocracies]] in the northeast or by [[Pelaxia]] in the mid-east, the latter of which establishing the Los Rumas viceroyalty. When the Pelaxian monarchy was abolished for good in the 1850s, many of the nobles and officials who were still loyal to the [[House of Girojón|Girojón]] monarchy fled to Los Rumas where they established a [[Delepasian Kingdom|Pelaxian government-in-exile]] under a {{wp|dual monarchy}} system. This attempt collapsed within three months, with almost all of the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] states opting for a republican form of government, save for [[Bahia (Rumahoki)|Bahia]] and [[Rios Gemelos]].

The monarchist cause was revived in the 1970s alongside renewed interest in a unified Delepasian realm. This soon culminated in the [[Pact of Eighteen]] which formed the [[Delepasian Commonwealth]]. The [[Constitution of Delepasia|constitution]] relegated the emperor to a {{wp|ceremonial monarchy|ceremonial}} role, with all executive power concentrated between the prime minister and the head of the armed forces, who at the time was [[Fernando Pascual]]. However, with the advent of the [[Velvet Revolution]] and the drafting of the new [[Constitution of Rumahoki|constitution]] the emperor was given a more predominant role in the nation's politics as a token of gratitude from the moderate socialist faction of the revolutionaries who won in the subsequent power struggle, and thus the Emperor currently hold the title of commander-in-chief.
