The House of Inti-Carrillo (Alexandrian: Maison d'Inti-Carrillo; Martino: Casa de Inti-Carrillo; Wechua: Inti-Carrillo Ayllu) is the reigning royal house of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Established by the royal decree of King Manco Cápac I on 15.III.1686 AN, it represents the dynastic union between the ancestral House of Inti of the Wechua Nation and the imperial House of Carrillo of Alexandria. The creation of this new royal house formalized the cultural synthesis at the heart of the federation, which had been established following the Proclamation of Punta Santiago in 1685 AN.

The name combines "Inti," the Wechua sun deity from whom the Wechua royal line claimed descent, with "Carrillo," acknowledging the Alexandrian imperial lineage represented by Queen Alexandra. This dual heritage symbolizes the federation's founding principle of uniting Wechua and Alexandrian traditions under a single constitutional monarchy.

Since its founding, the House of Inti-Carrillo has provided three monarchs to Nouvelle Alexandrie: Manco Cápac I (1685 AN-1718 AN), who expanded the federation's territories and established foundational royal institutions; Sinchi Roca I (1718 AN-1735 AN), who modernized the military and guided the nation through the Recession of 1726; and the current monarch, Sinchi Roca II (1735 AN-present), whose decisive leadership during the Spring Crisis of 1739 consolidated the monarchy's role as guarantor of constitutional order.

Under the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, the monarchy operates within a constitutional framework that defines the sovereign as head of state and commander-in-chief of the Federal Forces, while governance resides with the elected President of the Government and the Cortes Federales. Succession to the throne follows absolute primogeniture as established by the Succession to the Throne Act, 1700, with the eldest legitimate child inheriting regardless of gender.

History

Origins and establishment

The House of Inti-Carrillo was formally established by royal decree on 15.III.1686 AN, one year after the formation of the Federation of Alduria and the Wechua Nation. The establishment of this new royal house represented a deliberate decision to recognize the dual heritage of the federation, combining the Wechua royal lineage with Alexandrian imperial traditions.

When the Federal Constituent Assembly deliberated on the governance structure of the new federation in 1685 AN, a fundamental divide emerged between those favoring Alduria's republican model and those supporting the Wechua Nation's constitutional monarchy. The Alvarez-Campos Summit, held in Punta Santiago before the drafting of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, produced a compromise: a constitutional monarchy under a parliamentary system. The Assembly chose Manco Cápac, the reigning Sapa Wechua, as the first monarch of the new federation due to his wide appeal and popularity across the federation's many political factions.

Manco Cápac was already married to Princess Alexandra of the House of Carrillo prior to his selection as king, a union from 1659 AN that had established personal ties between the Wechua royal family and the former Alexandrian imperial house. The creation of a new royal house that acknowledged both lineages was seen as essential to legitimizing the federation in the eyes of both Wechua traditionalists and Alexandrian royalists.

The royal decree of 15.III.1686 outlined the structure of the new royal house. The decree confirmed the King as head and Patriarch of the House of Inti-Carrillo, with authority to issue regulations governing its members by Royal Prerogative. This power was later codified in Article 27 of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, which establishes that "H. M. the King serves as the official head and Patriarch of the House of Inti-Carrillo, and may, by Royal Prerogative, issue regulations to govern the members thereof."

Reign of Manco Cápac I (1685-1718)

King Manco Cápac's 33-year reign laid the foundation for the institutional framework of the new federation. Under his leadership, the Committee for Aldu-Wechu Integration developed the governmental structures that would define the relationship between the monarchy and other branches of government. The King personally chaired 47 meetings of this committee between 1685 AN and 1687 AN, directly shaping the constitutional role of the monarchy.

Territorial expansion marked much of Manco Cápac's reign. The federation incorporated Santander, Cárdenas, and Valencia in 1686 AN, followed by North Lyrica, South Lyrica, Isles of Caputia, and New Luthoria in 1687 AN. Islas de la Libertad joined in 1691 AN. The King conducted formal royal visits to each newly integrated territory, performing traditional ceremonies that combined Wechua and Alexandrian elements to legitimize the expansion and integrate diverse populations into the federation.

In 1693 AN, the federation changed its name from Alduria-Wechua to Nouvelle Alexandrie. King Manco Cápac presided over the official renaming ceremony in Cárdenas on 1.I.1693 AN, wearing regalia that combined elements from both Wechua and Alexandrian traditions. This event marked a significant evolution in the federation's identity and the King's role as a symbol of cultural synthesis.

The King established several important royal institutions that continue to define the monarchy. The Royal Patronage System for arts and sciences was founded in 1695 AN, initially supporting 23 cultural and scientific institutions across the federation. The Order of the Sun and Eagle, established in 1702 AN, became one of the most prestigious honors of the federation, with King Manco Cápac personally designing its insignia to incorporate symbols from both Wechua and Alexandrian traditions.

King Manco Cápac's reign ended abruptly on 20.VI.1718 AN when his aircraft was shot down during a diplomatic mission to Constancia. The Condor shoot-down incident claimed the lives of both the King and Basileus Giakoumis of Constancia. The state funeral held in Cárdenas from 25 to 29.VI.1718 AN was attended by 17 heads of state and marked by 21 days of national mourning.

Reign of Sinchi Roca I (1718-1735)

Sinchi Roca I, formerly known as Crown Prince Titu, ascended to the throne at the age of 56. His coronation on 12.XV.1718 AN took place at the Holy Shrine of Inti in Parap and incorporated elements from both traditional Wechua solar ceremonies and Alexandrian imperial rituals, continuing the syncretic approach established by his father.

Sinchi Roca had married Abigail Ayreon-Kalirion, a Shirerithian princess, in 1688 AN, three decades before his accession. This union had produced five children by the time of his coronation, securing the succession and strengthening international alliances. The royal couple conducted 28 state visits to Raspur Pact nations during Sinchi Roca's reign, reinforcing diplomatic ties through personal relationships.

Military modernization became a central focus of Sinchi Roca's reign. Between 1720 AN and 1725 AN, the King implemented comprehensive reforms of the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie. These reforms included the standardization of officer training, the establishment of the modern command structure, and the introduction of new technologies. The King personally reviewed military units during 76 formal inspections throughout his reign.

During the Recession of 1726, Sinchi Roca demonstrated pragmatic leadership by voluntarily reducing the royal budget by 30%. He established the Royal Relief Fund with an initial endowment of 5 million ecus from the royal treasury, providing direct assistance to communities affected by the economic downturn. The King and Queen conducted an unprecedented series of visits to industrial regions, meeting with workers and business leaders to understand the impact of the recession firsthand.

King Sinchi Roca I died on 2.XIV.1735 AN at the age of 73 of natural causes. His state funeral in Cárdenas drew representatives from 24 nations and was attended by an estimated 1.2 million mourners who lined the funeral procession route.

Reign of Sinchi Roca II (1735-present)

Sinchi Roca II, formerly known as Crown Prince Uturuncu, ascended to the throne at the age of 46, having served as Prince Regent twice during his father's illness in 1734 AN and 1735 AN.

In 1721 AN, while still Crown Prince, Uturuncu married Princess Adelaide of Natopia, eldest child of Empress Vadoma I and Emperor Edgard III. Because Adelaide was heir apparent to the Natopian throne, this marriage created the potential for a personal union between Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia. To prevent the two realms from merging under a single sovereign, the Treaty of Dynastic Separation was signed at the Lindström Summit in 1721 AN, designating which of the couple's children would inherit which throne. The marriage linked the House of Inti-Carrillo to the House of Waffel-Paine of Natopia and reinforced connections to the House of Carrillo through Queen Adelaide's father. The royal couple has conducted 43 state visits during their reign, focusing particularly on strengthening relationships within the Raspur Pact and managing refugee crises following the East Keltian Collapse.

The defining moment of Sinchi Roca II's reign came during the Spring Crisis of 1739, when elements of the III Combined Arms Corps attempted a military coup. On 4.III.1739 AN, the King made a decisive intervention by traveling to Cárdenas aboard a loyal Federal Air Force helicopter. Wearing the uniform of Commander-in-Chief, he delivered a pivotal televised address from El Fuerte command bunker, directly ordering all military units to return to constitutional authority. The following day, over 100,000 troops participated in a historic military loyalty ceremony at Federation Park, where the King personally received renewed oaths of allegiance from the military command structure.

Following the crisis, Sinchi Roca II supported comprehensive military reforms under Operation Clean Hands, working closely with the Civil-Military Relations Board established in its aftermath. The King's handling of the crisis cemented the monarchy's role as a guarantor of constitutional order and significantly enhanced public support for the institution.

Succession

Main articles: Succession to the Throne Act, 1700 and Proclamation of Punta Santiago

Succession to the throne follows absolute primogeniture as established by the Succession to the Throne Act, 1700. Section 4.2 of the Act provides that "the gender of a person does not give that person, or that person's descendants, precedence over any other person." The eldest legitimate child of the sovereign inherits the throne regardless of gender.

Order of succession

The Succession to the Throne Act, 1700 establishes the following order of succession:

  1. The eldest legitimate offspring of the King
  2. The eldest legitimate offspring of the Crown Prince or Crown Princess
  3. Other descendants of the eldest legitimate offspring of the King
  4. The second legitimate offspring of the King
  5. Other descendants of the King
  6. Siblings of the King, in order of birth, and their descendants
  7. Uncles of the King, in order of birth, and their descendants

Treaty of Dynastic Separation

Main article: Treaty of Dynastic Separation

The marriage of Crown Prince Uturuncu (later King Sinchi Roca II) to Princess Adelaide of Natopia in 1721 AN created the potential for a personal union between Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia, as Adelaide was heir apparent to the Natopian throne. Without intervention, their eldest child would have eventually inherited both thrones, uniting two distinct constitutional systems under a single crown.

To prevent this outcome, the Treaty of Dynastic Separation was signed at the Lindström Summit in 1721 AN. The treaty designates the couple's eldest child, Princess Sayari, as heir to the New Alexandrian throne, while their second child, Prince Nathan, is designated as heir to Natopia. As Prince of Lindström, Nathan holds the traditional Natopian title for the heir apparent. The couple's three younger children, Princess Urpi, Prince Xanthorr, and Princess Phaedra, have no claim to either throne unless both Sayari and Nathan are unable to ascend.

This arrangement maintains absolute primogeniture within each realm while preventing dual inheritance. The treaty does not alter the fundamental succession law of either nation but rather pre-designates which throne each child will inherit.

Titles of the heir

Per Section 6 of the Succession to the Throne Act, 1700, the official titles of the Crown Prince or Crown Princess are: Prince or Princess of Rimarima, Duke or Duchess of Nueva Geneva, Count or Countess of Rochefort, and Grandson or Granddaughter of Inti. The eldest daughter of the King, in the event that there is already a Crown Prince or Crown Princess, holds the title of Princess Royale, Sun of Parap.

Extinction and contingency

Should the House of Inti-Carrillo ever be extinguished, Section 4.4 of the Succession to the Throne Act, 1700 provides that the House of Carrillo shall take precedence in succession, beginning with the descendants of Francis Joseph IV and Elizabeth I of Caputia.

Section 4.7 of the Act establishes grounds for disqualification from succession, including holding citizenship in a nation hostile to the Federation, engaging in acts of treason, or joining certain prohibited religious practices.

Dynasty

Royal marriages

The House of Inti-Carrillo has established dynastic connections with several major royal and imperial houses of Micras:

The Succession to the Throne Act, 1700 further establishes that members of the Royal Family include the King or Queen and their consort, any Queens Dowager, the legitimate offspring of the King, their spouses, and their offspring. The Act prohibits members of the Royal Family from adopting children and requires that marriages of Royal Family members be approved by the Royal House Council.

Constitutional role

The constitutional position of the monarchy is defined in Chapter III of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago. Article 27 establishes the King as Head of State and provides that the sovereign "shall ensure due respect for the Proclamation of Punta Santiago and the rights of the people of the Federation" and "shall ensure, by his arbitration, the proper functioning of the public authorities and the continuity of the Federation."

The King's acts require countersignature by the President of the Government or the competent ministers to be valid, as specified in Article 28. The King appoints the President of the Government upon receiving majority support in the Federal Assembly, as outlined in Article 30. As Commander-in-Chief per Article 33, the King holds ceremonial authority over the Federal Forces, though actual authority over their use resides with the Council of State.
