The Apostolic King of Urcea is also, nominally, the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] due to the [[Empire-in-fact|legal fiction established at the conclusion of the Second Great War]]. The Monarchy was created with the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], and according to that documents its "inseparable constituent parts" are the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] and the [[Harren|Grand Duchy of Harren]], both titles that the King holds in his own right alongside the [[Canaery|Electorate of Canaery]]. | ||
Within the [[Constitution of Urcea]], the Apostolic King exercises primarily non-partisan ceremonial functions, such as bestowing honors, making [[Concilium Purpaidá]] appointments based on the constitutional advice of the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]], though the King does appoint the officers of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] and the nation's judges in his own right, and can rule in a more executive manner during a period of divided government. Though the ultimate executive authority over the government is still formally by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, these powers may only normally be used according to laws enacted within the conventions and precedents of the Constitution. The King's powers over foreign policy are slightly more expansive; in conjunction with the [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]], the King is the nation's highest diplomatic official and can exercise diplomatic authority on behalf of the Government of Urcea, though precedent is emerging for these powers to largely be constrained to Urcea's foreign policy in [[Crona]] | Within the [[Constitution of Urcea]], the Apostolic King exercises primarily non-partisan ceremonial functions, such as bestowing honors, making [[Concilium Purpaidá]] appointments based on the constitutional advice of the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]], though the King does appoint the officers of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] and the nation's judges in his own right, and can rule in a more executive manner during a period of divided government.

The Apostolic King and his wife, the queen consort, are formally addressed as "His Most Christian Majesty and Her Most Christian Majesty" (Their Most Christian Majesties). The widows and widowers of monarchs retain these styles until they remarry. The heir from birth holds the title of [[Prince of Halfway]]. Other children of the monarch, and the children of the heir apparent, hold the title and rank of Archduke or Archduchess, and styled His or Her Christian Highness. Since the Treaty of Corcra, the address of "''His Imperial Apostolic Majesty''" has been used on some occasions, but its use was rare until the reign of King Riordan VIII, who uses the manner of address in New Harren and other Crona possessions. | The Apostolic King and his wife, the queen consort, are formally addressed as "His Most Christian Majesty and Her Most Christian Majesty" (Their Most Christian Majesties).
