First King of the Three Kingdoms
The First King of the Three Kingdoms is the nominal Head of State of the Kingdoms of Celebarad, Nidaros and Riskai. He serves as the primus inter pares among the Three Kings of the Kingdoms who sit together in the Council of Kings. Mondo of Riskai served as the initial First King after the foundation of the country in 1723, since then, the position of the First King has rotated every three AN years, as was agreed at the foundation of the country. The Three Kings meet once every AN month in the Hall of the Kings in Riskai, where they discuss matters of state. During those sessions, they also may bring petitions from nobles or citizens of the respective kingdoms, which need to be addressed at the meetings. The kings are aided in their tasks by delegations of nobles and advisors from each of the kingdoms, as well as scribes and wise men who serve the realm as a whole.
The First King functions as Head of State, and represents the Three Kingdoms abroad on diplomatic missions and when receiving other heads of state or governments. Additionally, the First King is the chair of the Council of King, and as such is also the head of government of the Three Kingdoms. The Council of the Three Kings is the supreme ruling body of the Three Kingdoms. It consists of the three monarchs of the constituent realms of the country, and combines the executive, legislative, and judicial roles. The First King chairs the council. Though the Three Kings serve as absolute monarchs, the decision making power of the Council is limited by the relative autonomy of the constituent kingdoms.
