Monarchy of Nouvelle Alexandrie

The monarchy of Nouvelle Alexandrie was established in 1685 AN by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago. It comprises the reigning monarch, his or her family, and the Royal Household. The reigning house is known as the House of Inti-Carrillo. The monarchy of Nouvelle Alexandrie is currently represented by King Manco Cápac I, his wife Queen Alexandra (formerly a Princess of Alexandria), and their children, Crown Prince Titu, Princess Nayaraq, and Prince Tupac.

The Proclamation of Punta Santiago was both a declaration of federation and a blueprint for its future in one grand document. Its drafting took many difficult rounds of negotiations, often needing advice or counsel from many different sources, including leaders in the Raspur Pact. To bring wide public support to the Federation (especially in the most traditional parts of the Wechua Nation), the Sapa Wechua was made King of the Federation and commissioned with the work of remaining above temporal matters, to serve as a ceremonial head of state and a figure of national unity. This was mainly because it was only Manco Cápac who could muster a wide gamut of support and personal popularity in both Alduria and the Wechua Nation. With the crown of the Federation vested on him and his successors, the nascent Federation quickly began to project confidence, stability, and legitimacy, leading to greater public support for it.

The current New Alexandrian monarchy is deeply informed by its past. The Wechua people are one of many ancient indigenous people of Keltia, who themselves saw monarchies and rulers take many different shapes and forms under Attera, Vanderveer Reich, Hamland (later became Caputia) and Alexandria. It was Alexandria and Caputia in particular who inspired and shaped the establishment of the late popular constitutional Wechua monarchy after the end of the Wechua Spring in 1663 AN.

In 1686 AN, King Manco Cápac I established the royal house of Inti-Carrillo via decree, outlining its rules and regulations, among other details. The name was adopted to reflect that it is the union of the reigning houses of the Wechua Nation and the old Alexandrian Empire. The name "Inti" derives from the claim that the Sapa Wechua is the son of the Wechua God Inti. The name "Carrillo" comes from the late imperial house of Alexandria, House of Carrillo, from which Queen Alexandra comes from.

The current budget for the New Alexandrian monarchy is € 11.23 million (1706 AN).

Public role

Members of the Royal Family are often asked by non-profit charitable, cultural, or religious organizations within and without Nouvelle Alexandrie to become their patrons, a role is recognized in the law. Royal patronage conveys a sense of official credibility as the organization is scrutinized for suitability. A royal presence often greatly raises the profile of the organization and attracts media publicity and public interest that the organization may not have otherwise garnered, aiding in the charitable cause or cultural event. Royalty make use of their considerable celebrity to assist the organization to raise funds or to promote government policy.

Additionally, members of the royal family may also pursue their own charitable and cultural interests. For instance, devotes much of her time to the Queen Sofia Foundation (Fundación Reina Sofía);[31] while Leonor, Princess of Asturias presents the annual Princess of Asturias Awards (Premios Princesa de Asturias), which aims to promote "scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of mankind's universal heritage."[32] The Princess of Asturias Foundation (Fundación Princesa de Asturias) holds the annual Princess of Asturias Awards acknowledging the contributions of individuals, entities, and/or organizations from around the world who make notable achievements in the sciences, humanities, or public affairs.

King Felipe VI serves as president of the Organization of Ibero-American States which hosts the annual Ibero-American Summit, serves as president of the Codespa Foundation, which finances specific economic and social development activities in Latin American and other countries, and serves as president of the Spanish branch of the Association of European Journalists, which is composed of achieving communications professionals.[33] King Felipe VI also serves as honorary chair of the Ministry of Culture National Awards Ceremonies.[34]

Infanta Elena, Duchess of Lugo, Juan Carlos' elder daughter, is the Director of Cultural and Social Projects of Mapfre Foundation,[35] while Infanta Cristina, Juan Carlos' younger daughter, served as the Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations for the 2nd World Assembly on Ageing, and is a member of the Dali Foundation Board of Trustees, president of the International Foundation for Disabled Sailing, and Director of Social Welfare at the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona where she lives with her family.[36]

King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia, and Infanta Cristina are all members of the Bilderberg Group, an informal think-tank centered on United States and European relations, and other world issues.[37][38][39]
