The Monarchy of Pacífica is the Constitutional Monarchy of the Kingdom of Pacífica and it's protectorates and overseas territories. The current monarch is James I, who ascended the throne after the death of his father, Dayton III on July 6th, 2001. James is a direct descendant of Dayton I, the first monarch of Pacífica. The current ruling house is the House of Habsburg-Branver, which has ruled the country since its founding.
The role, powers, and succession of the monarch are defined in the Pacífican Constitution of 1848. The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, and diplomatic duties. Since the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to a ceremonial and non-partisan role in government, holding only a few executive powers such as given royal assent to laws passed by the legislature and giving titles and awards. The monarch is the Lord Commander of the Pacífican Armed Forces.
The Pacífican Monarchy was founded May 5th, 1848 after the Pacífican Constitution of 1848 was passed and implemented. Former rebel commander and war hero Dayton Branver was elected King by the Californian Constitutional Convention the following day and his descendants have ruled the Kingdom ever since.
