Lord of Pennsar

The Lord of Pennsar is the absolute monarch of the Banat of Pennsar. The current Lord of Pennsar is His Imperial Highness Emperor Celasin, who ascended the throne on the death of his father, His Imperial Highness Emperor Cunglas, on 22nd November 1776.
The Lord of Pennsar is represented on a day to day basis by the Governor General of Pennsar who has viceregal powers to act in the name of and as the representative for the Lord of Selgarn. The ultimate formal executive authority over the government of the Banat of Pennsar is still by and through the Lord of Pennsar's royal prerogative, these powers may are used within the constraints of convention and precedence.
The Banat of Pennsar was founded in 1775 by His Imperial Highness Emperor Cunglas following victory in the War of the Maldarsian Succession in the majority of the Pennsaro Peninsula when that territory was ceded by the Kingdom of Maldarse at the end of the war.
== History ==
== Powers ==
The Lord of Pennsar exercises his power, almost exclusively through the Governor General of Pennsar and by the issuing of letters patent. These are used as Letters Patent, Commissions, Warrants, Charters and Orders in Council.
=== Royal Prerogative ===
=== Territorial Council ===
=== Judiciary ===
The Lord of Pennsar is seen as the fount of justice. He has the prerogative of mercy, eliminating the punishments and penalties related to a conviction, but not overturning the conviction. He can also choose to discontinue the prosecution of a case, although this does not mean that the case can not be brought before the courts at a later date and is certainly not an acquittal. The Lord of Pennsar, as a sovereign, is also immune from prosecution.
=== Awards and Honours ===
The Lord of Pennsar as fount of honour and therefore has the power to grant all awards, honours, decorations and dignities within the Banat of Pennsar, currently all honours are at the discretion of the Lord of Pennsar, this power has not been granted to the Governor General of Pennsar to exercise.
=== Military ===
In relation to the Pennsar Colonial Defence Force, the Lord of Pennsar is Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Pennsar Colonial Defence Force. The Royal Prerogative allows the Lord of Pennsar, or the Governor General of Pennsar on his behalf, to recruit members of the armed forces and grant warrants and commissions to its officers. As the sole authority for the armed forces the Lord of Pennsar's prerogative power can not be questioned in their organisation, disposition or control.
== Succession ==
There are no restrictions in the Law of Pennsar regarding the succession to the Lordship of the Banat of Pennsar.
Upon the death of the Lord of Pennsar, his heir immediately and automatically ascends to the Lordship. Although there is no official mechanism to announce the death of one Lord and the accession of another, usually the Court Physician announces the death of the Lord of Pennsar, as Emperor of the Pyrusian Empire and King of Pyrus. A coronation is not necessary for the Lord of Pennsar to reign: indeed the ceremony often takes place many months after accession to allow sufficient time for its preparation and to allow a period of mourning.
After an individual ascends to the lordship, he reigns until death; there is no mechanism to allow a Lord of Pennsar to abdicate the position.
Succession has been traditionally governed by male-preference cognatic primogeniture, under which sons inherit before daughters, and elder children inherit before younger ones of the same gender. It is assumed that only legitimate children can inherit, however no Lord of Pennsar has ever had an illegitimate child, to force the issue.
