The Luthorian Monarchy: bulwark and harbinger of stability within the Empire.
In this special article commemorating the long years of reign of Her Majesty, the Empress, we will look at all the monarchical institutions, their role within the state apparatus, their role in helping to establish political stability in Luthori and finally His Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, organized in a few years.
3rd May, 5394
Fort William, Principality of Orange, Holy Luthori Empire - Empress Elizabeth, has been on the throne for almost 60 years, between 5338 and 5398, a lot of things have changed within the organization and The financing of the Imperial Monarchy changed significantly during his reign. At the beginning of his reign, wishing to renew with the pomp that the monarchy had during its "golden era", Her Majesty, added ceremonies during his coronation, such as the swearing-in ceremony on behalf of the whole of Lords and Ladies of the Empire towards the Empress and a more choreographed procession on the part of the Imperial Guard of Honor during the funeral of Maximillan V and during his coronation, from that day on, a form of pomp was restored to the monarchy, with the reinstatement of the Changing of the Guard during the day having been decided by the Empress restoring a certain form of typical Luthorian charm to the monarchy. Over the past 60 years, Her Majesty has collaborated closely with the Imperial Government on restoring relations with emerging and established monarchies around the world, with a series of state visits to countries such as Dorvik, Lourenne, Kazulia and Others, through the interaction of the Imperial Government, in countries such as Hutori, where the Empress herself did not make an official visit, but one was taken by the Prince of Orange, who took in charge of his mother's visit for "health reasons" according to the Orange Palace. The monarchy, through the program of the CDU dominated by Asters, saw its official power increase, with the establishment of an imperial interim government, giving more influence within politics to the imperial family. The Grand Dukes during the reign of the Empress have seen their power solidified and codified within the Duchies, and are now representatives of the monarch in those duchies, performing official functions on behalf of the Luthorian monarch in their respective duchies. The government would also attempt to implement a constitutional reform recognizing this state of affairs, by renaming all the duchies as Grand Duchies with the exception of the Duchy of Orange which would become a Principality.
The financing system of the Imperial Family has also changed, before the reign of Her Majesty, the previous Emperors and Empress set the amount of government subsidies to the Imperial Family for its operation at 85% of the entire Imperial Family funds, but During the reign of Elizabeth, under the influence of the Lourennais system where the royal family is independent of the government and receives little or no funds directly from the government system, the Orange Wealth Fund was founded by the efforts of the imperial family, the support of the government and the help of certain wealthy families, seeing here an optical interest in helping the imperial family become less dependent on government funds to continue functioning. Since the founding of the OWF, the government's share of the operation of the imperial apparatus has declined significantly in recent decades, with the investment fund earning a lot of money through investments in certain companies or listings on the stock exchange. . For this celebration of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, celebrating Elizabeth's 60 years of reign over Luthori, almost all of the funds for the celebration are expected to be covered by the OWF, with the government always having a right of oversight over all celebrations and managing the security of the event. Her Majesty released a statement thanking the people for their "total loyalty to the institutions of democracy in the darkest hours and their loyalty to the monarchy even in hard times", in this statement the monarch reassured " wanting to continue to serve the people with all of their abilities, until her death."
