Question Universal head of state/ Roman emperor
It occurs to me that a head of state can often just be a symbolic representative of a group. As monarchists what’s to stop us all from affirming one emperor? Where all the other heads of state the Reguli still have their regional jurisdiction and powers, but ultimately we are represented in a ceremonial way by 1 Emperor.
Not determined by borders but rather by who he is. Much like how the holy Roman emperor was the monarch of a great many functionally sovereign princes and was owed nominal deference by the other kings.
Personally the best candidate for this would be HIRH Archduke Karl Von Habsburg. But I’m curious, who do other monarchists out there think would be a better universal head of state?
