Potato King

The **monarchy of the Potato Empire**, officially known as the **Potato King** (called the *Potato Queen* when the reigning monarch is female), is the head of state of the Potato Empire. The Potato King is the sole legal authority in the Potato Empire and has over many points in history held great sway over the political situation on the server. The position is hereditive, and upon a monarch's death, will usually be passed down to either the Potato King's deputy or a successor chosen prior by the King. TaylorWorld, whose regnal name is *King Taylor I*, is the second and current Potato King, having reigned since December 13th, 2021, upon the end of Jaxolord's reign.

The position was created on June 4th, 2021, two days after the creation of the country itself. The Potato King's official residence is the Potato Temple at the Capital, but the King also possesses property in Wench. The position is the highest in the Empire, spare for the heads of state in Thailand and the Sea Spray Islands who have separate leaders but are in many contexts considered part of the Empire. The Potato King's job is that of head of state. As head of state, the Potato King is the sole authority over what is codified into law. He is also assumedly head of the army during wartime unless clarified otherwise.

The Potato King is both a politically revered and criticised position, with the server as a whole divided on the existence of the position. The Potato King has a largely positive approval rating amongst citizens of the Potato Empire, with little to no political dissent within the country. Externally, however, the Potato King is looked down on almost universally by any nation that isn’t associated with Potato Empire, notably UCCR and Femboy Land. The title has generated controversy, and has been the target of multiple conflicts and assassination attempts.

## Residencies and holiday homes

The Potato King's official residency is at the Potato Temple in the Capital. The Temple is where the Potato King resides during state events and is also where new laws are signed. The farming of potatoes, which is overseen by the Potato King, takes place around the Temple's land.

The Potato King also has other residencies in "Potato Embassies", which are located in both Wench and Marineville. Another residency will soon be built in Thailand.

## List of position holders

There have been two monarchs of the Potato Empire since the creation of the position on June 4th, 2021. Jaxolord, the first Potato King, is also the shortest-serving Potato King, lasting 192 days in office. TaylorWorld, the current Potato King, is the longest-serving Potato King, having lasted nearly five hundred days and counting in office.

## Succession

The position of Potato King is a hereditary position, whereby, when the reigning Potato King dies, abdicates, or loses the throne, either his deputy or a successor chosen priorhand becomes the new Potato King. TaylorWorld, the current Potato King, has been quite silent about plans to decide who will succeed him.

A new Potato King is, in a technical sense, formally crowned infront of the Potato Temple, though neither Jaxolord or TaylorWorld have had a proper coronation.
