Monarch

Mace I (Mace Finley Murphy house of Lavi) was born April 26th 1940 and celebrated their Platinum Jubilee in 2020. Mace inherited the throne from Queen Mary of Lavi at the age of 10. Mace attended Cardonian National Private School (CNPS) in Lavi for Elementary but Mace couldn't attend further school because they had taken the Cardonian throne in the middle of Grade 5 and couldn't attend school after. The Monarch was privately schooled in their free time along with continuing to run the country.

Mace had gotten the idea from many European countries to implement a parliament to help them run the country. The country voted for Marcus to be the first PM. The Monarch was happy for this descision as Marcus had been a longtime Monarch friend and attended CNPS with Mace.

The Monarchy in Cardonia while technically a Constitutional Monarchy has no restrictions in the Constitution letting the Monarch pass anything without prior discussion in the Parliament. This is a very controversial topic because many parties have attempted to pass constitutional amendments to limit the Monarch's power, but as of now nothing has passed. The Monarch has also chosen people to serve in the Privy Council to help the Monarch come to descisions in difficult times.

The most recent major thing done by the Monarch is call a national referendum about the 20th parliament and if it should be dissolved or not. The referendum ended up passing with over 60% supporting the dissolution of parliament. The parliament was dissolved and the election took place a few days later.

The Monarch has recieved some jokes over the stature of our leader compared to other world leaders. Mace has said to media "I am 1.53m (5ft) and proud of it!" A popular photo circling around the internet passed recently of the Monarch standing next to Samnit (Cardonian Politician) who is 1.95m (6ft 4in). Another photo circled around the internet a couple years ago of the Monarch standing next to Filip Vujanović (Former President of Montenegro) who is 2m (6ft 7in). The Monarch of Cardonia also said in an interview that Mace and Michael Higgins current President of Ireland are good friends because of their short height.

Mace I was coronated as "Monarch of all Monarch's of the Cardonian Isles on June 3rd 2020 under the Act of Union 2020 made by Samnit. A summarized version of The Act of Union 2020: This act protects the current Monarchs of the Island but the Monarch of Cardonia becomes Monarch of Monarch's. The individual Monarchs still have powers but their decisions can be vetoed by the Monarch of Monarch's or by the Cardonian parliament. If a country wants to declare independence they need either an 80% majority in their country, 90% in the national parliament or the Monarch of Monarch's can make them independent without the other steps. Countries in the union have their own parliament except Cardonia and the National Parliament will sit in Lavi. Brimm also has the ability to join if they so choose and will follow the rules already said here.
