Question Universal head of state/ Roman emperor

Post image
90 Upvotes

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?

For me, it's the Steel Crown of Romania. It was forged from the steel of a cannon captured from the Turks, thus embodying in its very core the idependence of Romania.

His Excellency the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Tô Lâm, and his spouse, Mrs. Ngô Phương Ly, have arrived in Denmark. Following a reception at Copenhagen Airport, a wreath-laying ceremony at Kastellet, and a carriage ride to Amalienborg, the President received a unique gesture from the King at Christian VII's Palace – he was appointed a Knight of the Order of the Elephant, even though a traditional exchange of decorations is not taking place during this visit, according to the palace.

Their Majesties the King and Queen hosted a gala dinner in honor of the presidential pair. Also present at the table were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, along with the Government, the Vietnamese delegation, the Presidium of the Folketing (the Danish Parliament), and representatives of official Denmark.
During the banquet, the King and the President delivered speeches. Among other things, the King stated:
"It is a great pleasure for Her Majesty Queen Mary and me to welcome the presidential couple here to Denmark. We have looked forward to your visit and to the opportunity to reciprocate the warmth we experienced when we visited Vietnam."

The palace said that “During the visit, the presidential couple will also visit the Folketing (Parliament), THE LIBRARY on Rentemestervej, the Niels Bohr Institute, and the Court Theatre (Hofteatret).”
