Monarchy of D'Ourume

The Monarchy of D'Ourume, usually referred as the Golden Crown, is at the core of D'Ourume's constitutional federal structure and Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. The monarchy is the foundation of the D'Ourumean government to which the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of both federal and provincial jurisdictions hold accountable. The King of D'Ourume (and head of state) has been Andrew III since 24 ADI.

D'Ourume is a classic example of a full Constitutional Monarchy. Similar to other constitutional monarchies, the monarch of D'Ourume is the nominal chief executive as well as the commander-in-chief of the D'Ourumean armed forces. The monarch of D'Ourume is the source of sovereign power, however the government does not act under his name. Instead, the monarch represents the State and appoints other high officials in the name of the State, in which the people hold sovereignty.

All executive authority is constitutionally vested in the office of Prime Minister which designated by the Parliament. The monarch possesses only certain ceremonially important powers, but yields a powerful influence over the country's politics at several points in the D'Ourumean history. The monarchy's influence on the political scene of D'Ourume was peaked during the reign of Andrew I.
