Monarchy of the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom officially became a "Kingdom" on September 18, 2009 when the Monarchy Act was accepted by the House of Commons, and passed by the House of Lords. The British Monarch is the ceremonial head of state, and all powers are donated to the Prime Minister, mimicking in ways the real life UK's constitutional monarchy.. The Act established Stephen John Fry as the first "Monarch" of the United Kingdom, a position holding absolute legislative and executive authority. However, this power is exercised by the Prime Minister and Parliament who govern as representatives on his behalf.
The eUK has so far been presided over by five Monarchs, the most recent and longest serving ruler is His Britannic Majesty, King Woldy I of the electronic United Kingdom, whom ascended the throne on October 14th, 2010 in gratitude for his services and work for the eUK. He remains King, being the longest serving King of the eUnited Kingdom and longest serving Head of State in the eWorld.
On March 6th 2013, Mr Woldy agreed to participate in wargame, and so a Revolution began between two warring factions in the United Kingdom. The Red Team, headed by Lily Jayne Summers was the principle head against the Blue Team headed by ApronChef and kcirp the Royalists, to decide who will be the next monarch of the United Kingdom. The team in Support of Woldy won the war, thus continuing his glorious reign. There was much rejoicing.
The legislation surrounding the Monarchy was removed when Parliament decided to remove all legislation. No one decision was made to depose the Monarch at the time, King Woldy, and the public continues to accept him as King and the monarchy as a social role.
