The style of the New Alexandrian sovereign (Alexandrian: Style du souverain néo-alexandrin; Martino: Estilo del soberano neoalejandrino; Wechua: Qhapaq Rimay) refers to the official forms of address and titles used by and for the King of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The royal style is established by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago and codified by the Royal Titles, Styles, and Precedence Act, 1750, reflecting the dual heritage of the House of Inti-Carrillo from both the Wechua Nation and Alexandria.

The reigning monarch is formally styled His Majesty (abbreviated H.M.) and addressed as Your Majesty. The current holder of this style is Sinchi Roca II, who has reigned since 1735 AN.

Official style

The Proclamation of Punta Santiago establishes that whenever constitutional provisions refer to "His Majesty the King," they shall be understood to also refer to future Queens and female holders of the Crown.

The full style and titles of the sovereign, as set forth in Article 27 of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, are:

King of Nouvelle Alexandrie, First Consul of Alduria, Sapa Wechua, Wechua Qhapaq, Intip Churin, Lord of the Twelve Regions, and Son of Inti

The sovereign may use other titles pertaining to the Crown as authorized by tradition or decree.

Component titles

Title	Origin	Meaning
King of Nouvelle Alexandrie	Federal	Sovereign of the Federation, established 1685 AN
First Consul of Alduria	Aldurian	Honorary title recognizing Aldurian heritage
Sapa Wechua	Wechua Nation	"Sole Sovereign" in Wechua; traditional title of Wechua monarchs
Wechua Qhapaq	Wechua	"Wechua Lord" or "Wechua Ruler"
Intip Churin	Wechua	"Child of the Sun"; religious title denoting divine descent from Inti
Lord of the Twelve Regions	Federal	Territorial title reflecting the Federation's administrative structure
Son of Inti	Wechua/Alexandrian	Translation of Intip Churin; emphasizes the monarch's sacred status in the Faith of Inti

The number of regions in "Lord of the Twelve Regions" has been updated over time as the Federation has expanded. The original 1685 AN text specified "Lord of the Ten Regions," reflecting the Federation's initial composition. The title was amended to "Lord of the Twelve Regions" following the accession of Boriquén in 1719 AN and New Caputia in 1722 AN.

Forms of address

Formal address

Section 12 of the Royal Titles, Styles, and Precedence Act, 1750 codifies the forms of address for the sovereign:

Your Majesty on first address
Sir or Ma'am (as appropriate) on subsequent address within the same conversation

In written correspondence, the formal salutation is May it please Your Majesty or Your Majesty. Documents and petitions addressed to the Crown use the formula To His Majesty the King.

Wechua traditional forms

In traditional Wechua contexts, particularly during ceremonies of the Faith of Inti, the sovereign may be addressed using historical Wechua honorifics:

Qhapaq ("Lord" or "Sovereign")
Sapa Inka ("Sole Ruler")
Intip Churin ("Child of the Sun")

These forms are particularly common in the Wechua Nation and during religious observances at the Holy Shrine of Inti in Parap.

Multilingual usage

Given the multilingual character of Nouvelle Alexandrie, the royal style appears in the Federation's official languages:

Language	Style	Address
Istvanistani (Common Tongue)	His Majesty	Your Majesty
Alexandrian	Sa Majeste	Votre Majeste
Martino	Su Majestad	Su Majestad
Wechua	Qhapaqninchik ("Our Sovereign")	Qhapaq
Wakara	Kasike Guami ("Great Chief")	Guami

Related royal styles

The Royal Titles, Styles, and Precedence Act, 1750 establishes the styles for all members of the House of Inti-Carrillo and the broader nobility.

Queen Consort

Main article: Queen Consort of Nouvelle Alexandrie

The spouse of a reigning King holds the title of Queen and is styled Her Majesty the Queen. The Queen Consort shares in the dignity of the Crown but does not hold sovereign power in her own right. The current Queen Consort is Queen Adelaide, who has held the position since her husband's accession in 1735 AN.

Queen Mother

Main article: Queen Mother of Nouvelle Alexandrie

Section 6.4 of the Act provides that upon the death of the King, a Queen Consort becomes Her Majesty [name], Queen Mother if her child has succeeded to the throne. The Queen Mother retains the style "Her Majesty" and ranks immediately after the Queen Consort in the order of precedence.

The current Queen Mother is Queen Abigail, widow of Sinchi Roca I and mother of the reigning monarch.

Queen Dowager

Main article: Queen Dowager of Nouvelle Alexandrie

A widowed Queen Consort whose child has not succeeded to the throne is styled Her Majesty [name], Queen Dowager. This title is distinct from Queen Mother and has not yet been used in the history of the Federation.

Heir apparent

Main article: Prince of Rimarima

The heir apparent to the throne holds the title Prince or Princess of Rimarima and is styled His or Her Royal Highness. This title derives from the ancient Wechua designation for the heir to the Sapa Wechua.

The current heir apparent is Crown Princess Sayari, styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Rimarima.

Other members of the Royal Family

Section 15 of the Act establishes that members of the House of Inti-Carrillo are entitled to the honorific style of His or Her Royal Highness Prince or Princess. The titles of Prince and Princess are reserved exclusively to members of the Royal House.

Historical development

Pre-federation Wechua style

Before the creation of the Federation in 1685 AN, the Sapa Wechua used a distinct style emphasizing the sacred nature of the Wechua monarchy. Manco Cápac I, during his reign as Sapa Wechua from 1655 AN to 1685 AN, was styled His Wechua Majesty (Wechua Qhapaqninchik).

The Sapa Wechua's titles during this period included:

Sapa Wechua ("Sole Sovereign")
Intip Churin ("Child of the Sun")
Wechua Qhapaq ("Wechua Lord")

Federation style

The Proclamation of Punta Santiago merged Wechua and Alexandrian royal traditions into a unified style. The designation "His Majesty" followed Alexandrian and broader Micrasian practice, while the inclusion of Wechua titles preserved the sacred and cultural significance of the Wechua monarchy.

The addition of "First Consul of Alduria" acknowledged the Aldurian republican tradition that had existed before federation, while subordinating it to the monarchical structure.

Codification

While the basic style was established in 1685 AN, the Royal Titles, Styles, and Precedence Act, 1750 provided comprehensive codification of all royal styles, forms of address, and precedence rules. The Act consolidated customary practice and royal decrees into a single legislative framework, including provisions for the Queen Consort, Queen Mother, Queen Dowager, and other members of the Royal Family.

Immunity and countersignature

Article 28 of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago establishes that the person of His Majesty the King is inviolable and shall not be held accountable. The King's acts and decrees must be countersigned by the President of the Government and, when appropriate, by the competent ministers. Without such countersignature, they are not valid.

The nomination and appointment of the President of the Government and the dissolution of the Cortes Federales must be countersigned by the Speaker of the Federal Assembly.

Usage in official documents

Royal decrees, letters patent, and official proclamations employ the formula:

We, [Name], by the Grace of Inti and the Will of the People, King of Nouvelle Alexandrie, First Consul of Alduria, Sapa Wechua, Wechua Qhapaq, Intip Churin, Lord of the Twelve Regions, and Son of Inti, to all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting.

The use of the royal "We" (the majestic plural) is standard in formal proclamations, though the King may use "I" in personal correspondence and informal addresses.
