Elective monarchy

An Elective monarchy is a form of Monarchy that strips royalty of it's autocratic power to appoint a new Monarch and gives it to the people. A form of Democracy, Elective Monarchies are ruled by a Monarch who has been elected either by the People themselves or a representative body of the People (a Parliament or group of Aristocrats). Unlike Republican systems, it is common for elected Monarchs to serve greater terms than that of a President or other elected Head of State, with some elective monarchs ruling until death or abdication. Micronationally, elective Monarchy can be a popular system of government, combining nostalgia for Medieval nations with practical Citizen involvement.
