Although the prime minister of the UK, through their Government as well as Parliament, oversee much of the nation's actual day-to-day domestic affairs, the King wields significant influence and authority, especially in the fields of national security and foreign policy. The King's greatest power is the ability to choose the prime minister. However, since it is the British Parliament that has the sole power to dismiss the prime minister's government, the King is forced to name a prime minister who can command the support of a majority in the assembly. Among the powers of the King:

* The King promulgates laws.
	+ Can propose laws (exercises his right to submit draft legislation)
	+ Has a suspensive veto: when presented with a law, however, a veto can be overruled by a 3/5 majority vote in the presence of at least half of the statutory number of members of the Parliament (305).
	+ Can request another reading of it by Parliament, but only once per law.
	+ May also refer the law for review to the Supreme Court prior to promulgation.
* Can issue by-laws by decree, so long as such decrees are not in contradiction with existing laws (both local and federal), UK's international agreements or the British Constitution
* Declares the state of siege and emergency, after hearing the Government and under authorization from the British Parliament
* The King may dissolve the British Parliament.
* The King can propose referendum on changes to law, within certain conditions (among them the agreement of the prime minister or the Parliament).
* The King is the chief of the Armed Forces and the power to declare war. A referendum in which a majority of the population (60% or more) are against a declaration of war or peace should be respected, except maybe under exceptional circumstances (such as a moral obligation to enter a war, or other cases. As an example, a monarch should be able to declare a war to defend a people that is being genocide by another country.).
* The King may order the use of nuclear weapons.
* The King names the prime minister. The King also names and dismisses the other ministers, with the advice of the prime minister.
* The King names most officials (with the assent of the cabinet).
* The King names certain members of the Constitutional Council.
* The King nominates candidates for official state positions, who must ultimately be appointed based on parliamentary vote. The King submits nominations for judges of the Supreme Court, as well as for Attorney General. A proposal to relieve the Attorney General of his duties must also be submitted to Parliament. The president submits to Parliament, nominations for appointment to the office of the chairman of the Bank of Great Britain, and likewise submits to the Parliament any proposal to relieve the chairman of the Bank of Great Britain of his duties
* The King receives foreign ambassadors.
* The King may grant a pardon (but not an amnesty) to convicted criminals; the King can also lessen or suppress criminal sentences. This was of crucial importance when still operated the death penalty: criminals sentenced to death would generally request that the King commute their sentence to life imprisonment.
* In their role as supreme representative of Britain, the King has power to ratify and revoke international agreements, nominates and recalls ambassadors, and formally accepts the accreditations of representatives of other states.
* The King also makes decisions on award of highest academic titles, as well as state distinctions and orders.
* Assume full executive control if the nation is under "serious and immediate threat"
* Immune from prosecution. Except for murder, pedo, crimes against humanity, and various other laws for human decency
* Presides over the Cabinet
* The King has the power to appoint senior attorneys-at-law to the position of King's Counsel. The King may appoint officers from the armed forces to serve as their aide-de-camp as well as extra-aide-de-camp. Additionally, the King may appoint medical officers of the armed forces as Physician to the King and Medical Household
* The Supreme Pontiff of the Church of England. He can fire or hire the head of the state religion as to control the religion in accordance with national interests
* Developing and implementing national policy
* Creating and overseeing the implementation of general state policy

All decisions of the King must be countersigned by the prime minister, except dissolving the British Parliament, choice of prime minister, and other dispositions referred to in Article 19.

### Detailed constitutional powers

The constitutional attributions of the King are defined in Title II of the Magna Carta.

**Article 5**: The King shall see that the Constitution is observed. He shall ensure, by his arbitration, the proper functioning of the public authorities and the continuity of the State. He shall be the guarantor of national independence, territorial integrity and observance of treaties.

On the proposal of the prime minister, he shall appoint the other members of the Government and terminate their appointments.

**Article 10:** The King shall promulgate acts of parliament within fifteen days following the final adoption of an act and its transmission to the Government. He may, before the expiry of this time limit, ask Parliament to reconsider the act or sections of the Act. Reconsideration shall not be refused. *While the King has to sign all acts adopted by parliament into law, he cannot refuse to do so and exercise a kind of right of veto; his only power in that matter is to ask for a single reconsideration of the law by parliament and this power is subject to countersigning by the Prime minister.*

**Article 11:** The King could submit laws to the people in a referendum with advice and consent of the cabinet.

**Article 12**: The King may, after consulting the prime minister and the Speaker of the House of Commons, declare the British Parliament dissolved.

**Article 15**: The King shall be commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He shall preside over the higher national defence councils and committees.

**Article 16**: Where the institutions of the republic, the independence of the nation, the integrity of its territory or the fulfilment of its international commitments are under serious and immediate threat, and where the proper functioning of the constitutional public authorities is interrupted, the King shall take the measures required by these circumstances, after formally consulting the prime minister, the Speaker and the Constitutional Council. He shall inform the nation of these measures in a message. The measures must stem from the desire to provide the constitutional public authorities, in the shortest possible time, with the means to carry out their duties. The Constitutional Council shall be consulted with regard to such measures. Parliament shall convene as of right. The National Assembly shall not be dissolved during the exercise of the emergency powers.

**Article 17**: The King has the right to grant pardon.

**Article 19**: Acts of The King, other than those provided for under articles 8 (first paragraph), 11, 12, 16, 18, 54, 56 and 61, shall be countersigned by the prime minister and, where required, by the appropriate ministers.

* The nation is divided up into states. Each with its own monarch. The state monarchs have the title that states below the monarch. Like Duke or Prince. Or something else. (If the heir who reached 16 is appointed to rule that district they still retain their first title and the new title is added on as a suffix. The rightful ruler of that district plays the role of advisor till the role opens again.)
* State monarchs have complete control over their state but the head monarch would outranks state monarchs. And each decision they make must be sent to the Monarch as notification.
* The district monarchs are hereditary.
* The head monarchy ensures the district monarchs are doing their job correctly. And control foreign affairs. Aswell as the military, land sea and air ports, utilities, and taxation.
* Each state receive a set amount of money for use however more can be given if necessary.
* The head monarchs palace and accompanied city are within the nation but separate from the state.
* Each state monarch can be expelled by the people with a vote.
* Their is only 1 law code. the state monarchs and head monarch meet at least once a year to discuss this as well as other issues. But they can met anytime needed.
* The Monarch serves as the embodiment of the nation's culture and is tasked with preserving, stimulating, and encouraging it. Similar to the cultural role of the Chinese Emperors.
* The Church must be respected and granted special rights and privileges with regards to the nation.

### **Rules**

* Upon demise of the Crown (the death of a sovereign), their heir immediately and automatically succeeds (hence the phrase "The king is dead, long live the king!"), and the accession of the new sovereign is publicly proclaimed by an Accession Council that meets at St James's Palace. Upon their accession, a new sovereign is required by law to make and subscribe several oaths: the Accession Declaration as first required by the Bill of Rights, and an oath that they will "maintain and preserve" the Church of Scotland settlement as required by the Act of Union. The monarch is usually crowned in Westminster Abbey, normally by the Archbishop of Canterbury. A coronation is not necessary for a sovereign to reign; indeed, the ceremony usually takes place many months after accession to allow sufficient time for its preparation and for a period of mourning
* Must be Christian
* All swearings in of official positions must first include a vow of loyalty to the monarch, then the law, then the people.
* The throne is bequeathed to the King's firstborn male offspring who must be a British citizen and at least 18 years old.
* The King and members of the Royal Family are patrons of over 3,000 charities worldwide. This gives The Queen and her family the opportunity to connect with people who serve and support their communities
* Any child born out of wedlock are declared illegitimate
* No homosexual relationship within the Royal Family, otherwise they will be disqualified from the monarchy,
* Even if the 1st child is only seconds/minutes older, he will still takes the throne. The eldest son inherits the throne, so if the twins had been a male and female pair, the male would inherit, regardless of birth order
* The Royal Family must strictly follow the Church of England
* Heirs and monarchs can not take foreign wives. This is to ensure that rulers are not compromised by foreign powers.
* If the King is deemed mentally unstable or insane. The monarch remains monarch, but their duties can be discharged by a regent
* The King can also be abdicate when a referendum.
* The law forbids adopted children from taking the throne
* The monarch has the exclusive right to award peerages. The Legislature cannot advise them on how to use this right. However, there is an official, set list of accomplishments that a person may be ennobled for. Peerages depreciate one rank every generation barring the first 3. For example, If I'm created a duke, my son and grandsons will also be dukes but my great-grandson will be a marquess and the depreciation will start from there. A family may be "re-ennobled" to a previously held rank after a few generations. All peerages are beholden to equal right succession. For better or for worse, this secures a relatively weak aristocracy. I want them to have respect and station, but not individual power.

## Main principles

1. Hospitality – Showing hospitality and profound respect to all visitors, regardless of race, religion, national affiliation or economic status and doing so without any hope of remuneration or favour. Brits will go to great lengths to show their hospitality.
2. Asylum – This refers to the protection given to a person against his enemies. People are protected at all costs; even those running from the law must be given refuge until the situation can be clarified. Brits can also be used when the vanquished party in a dispute is prepared to go into the house of the victors and ask for their forgiveness: this is a peculiar form of "chivalrous" surrender, in which an enemy seeks "sanctuary" at the house of their foe.
3. Justice and revenge – To seek justice or take revenge against the wrongdoer. No time limit restricts the period in which revenge can be taken. Justice in Pashtun lore needs elaborating: even a mere taunt counts as an insult. Monetary compensation can be an alternative to revenge, for example in murder cases.
4. Bravery. A Brit must defend his land, property, and family from incursions. Death can follow if anyone offends this principle.
5. Loyalty. A Brit owes loyalty to family, friends and other Brits.
6. Kindness - Brits should act in the welfare of others.
7. Faith contains a wider notion of trust or faith in Christ. The notion of trusting in one God generally comports to Christian monotheism.
8. Respect and pride - A Brit's pride, has great importance in society and must be preserved. Brits must respect themselves and others in order to be able to do so, especially those they do not know. Respect begins at home, among family members and relatives. Someone who lacks these qualities is not considered worthy of being a Brit. “The loss of life and wealth should not matter, what matters is pat.
9. Female honour. A Brit must defend the honour of women at all costs and must protect them from vocal and physical harm. The killing of women is forbidden in British culture.
10. Honour - A Brit must defend the weak around him.
11. Courage, manhood, or chivalry - A Brit must demonstrate courage.
12. Country - A Brit is obliged to protect the land of the Brits. Defense of the nation means the protection of British customs

## **Pay and official residences**

The King gets his money from 3 sources: the annual Sovereign Grant payment, the Privy Purse and her personal wealth and inheritance. The 1st is a figure she receives annually from the government, whilst the 2nd two sources are independent wealth that are not funded by taxpayers. The salary and the residence stipend are taxable for income tax.

Pension and benefits

According to French law, former presidents of the Republic have guaranteed lifetime pension defined according to the pay grade of the Councillors of State,[18] a courtesy diplomatic passport,[19] and, according to the French Constitution (Article 56), membership of the Constitutional Council. They also get personnel, an apartment and/or office, and other amenities, though the legal basis for these is disputed. The current system for providing personnel and other amenities to the former French presidents was devised in 1981 by Michel Charasse, then advisor to President François Mitterrand, in order to care for former president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and the widow of former President Georges Pompidou.[20] In 2008, according to an answer by the services of the prime minister to a question from René Dosière, a member of the National Assembly,[21] the facilities comprised: a security detail, a car with a chauffeur, first class train tickets and an office or housing space, as well as a two people who service the space. In addition, funds are available for seven permanent assistants. President Hollande announced a reform of the system in 2016. Former presidents of France will no longer receive a car with chauffeur and the personnel in their living space was cut as well. Additionally, the number of assistants available for their use has been reduced, but a state flat or house remains available for former officeholders. Train tickets are also available if the trip is justified by the office of the former officeholder as part of official business. The security personnel around former presidents of France remained unchanged.[22]
