Emperor

The Emperor of New Scania was the monarch of New Scania until its constitutional reform in 2018.

Due to its constitution, which made the state a constitutional monarchy, he enjoyed diverse competences. This made him almost as powerful as an absolute monarch.

Now the title Emperor is only a noble title without legal privileges and its only purpouse is to chair the Sconic nobility.

The current Emperor is Sakarias I. Kaldwin.

The Kaisarstaffel is the paramilitary imperial guard with the only mission to secure the Emperor and investigate all possible menaces for him.

Position in the Empire
De jure he occupies the highest position in the whole Empire, followed by the Prime Minister and afterwards the crownprince or the crownprincess.

Competences
With the approval of the Federal Council, the Supreme Council can extract all competences and also the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces from the emperor for six months. The Supreme Council would take on his businesses from then on.

Before the coming into force of this the emperor has six days time to complete any of his royal businesses to end his current work then. De facto this is the point why the disempowerment of the monarch is impossible. In this time the Emperor would be able to dissolve the Supreme Council and thereby cause a reelection and also the dissolution of the government, the governmental positions.

In this case it is up to the Emperor to set a date for a parliament reelection in a time period of six months. In this time he could appoint a government of his own interest, thus political like-minded persons. In the case of the appointing of a new government all decisions of the old government which have not entered into force yet expire. Thus the emperor could easily appoint another government and thereby disempower the parliament for the most. He would keep his competences and set a reelection for a new parliament.
