The Emperor's practical duties in the modern constitutional system are entirely ceremonial. Key ceremonies involving the Emperor include the receipt of tribute and demonstrations of fealty from governors of Kiravian states and territories, and from the rulers of Kiravian protectorates (e.g. [[Scapa]]); acceptance of the credentials of foreign ambassadors in the Emperor's presence by the [[Prime Executive]]; and the Triennial Audience. The Triennial Audience is performed every eighteen months under the first quarter moon, and during this ceremony the Prime Executive formally briefs the Emperor on conditions in the country and his policy priorities. This ceremony is televised and in modern times serves a political function analogous to a State of the Union address or [whatever the fuck Bong PMs do]. Imperial ceremonies also accompany the inauguration of Prime Executives, instatement of Consistorial Court judges, admission of new states, ratification of constitutional amendments, and certain national holidays. | The Emperor's practical duties in the modern constitutional system are entirely ceremonial.
