According to the [[wikipedia:Constitution|Havenian Constitution]] the Havenian Monarch, as [[wikipedia:head of state|head of state]], is the source of all powers except religious duties, that are responsibility of the Church of Ahura. Every Monarch must be born in the Ahuran faith or they are considered unfit to rule. The monarch, even if he's an absolute ruler, own his legitimacy to the Church of Ahura.


According to the [[wikipedia:Constitution|Tikatan Constitution]] the Tikatan Monarch, as [[wikipedia:head of state|head of state]], is the source of [[wikipediaexecutive power|executive]] and, cojointly with the Parliament, [[wikipedia:legislative powerlegislative power]]. The Monarch retains the ability to deny giving a [[wikipedia:Bill (proposed law)|bill]] [[wikipedia:royal assent|royal assent]] as well as choosing and dismissing the [[Prime Minister of Tikata|Prime Minister]], although in modern times this becomes increasingly more unlikely, as it would cause a constitutional crisis. As Head of State, the monarch participates in the formation of a new government. Bills are required to be countersigned by one or more cabinet ministers to become law. All royal powers called [[wikipedia:Royal Prerogative]], such as patronage to appoint ministers and the ability to declare war and make peace, are exercised by the Prime Minister and the [[Cabinet of Tikata|Cabinet]], with the formal consent of the King. After consultation with representatives of the political parties, the Party Leader who has the support of the largest number of seats in the Tikatan Parliament is invited to form a government. Once it has been formed, the monarch will formally appoint it.
The monarch has his privy council, made of the best scholars and diplomats, to help him rule over the country.


Today the Monarch has an essentially ceremonial role restricted in exercise of power by convention and public opinion. As a figurehead the monarch opens exhibitions, attends anniversaries, inaugurates bridges etc. However the monarch does continue to exercise three essential rights: the right to be consulted, the right to advise and the right to warn. As a consequence of these ideals, the Prime Minister and Cabinet attends the regular meeting of the [[Tikatan Council of State|Council of State]]. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs report regularly to the King to advise him of the latest political developments. The King hosts official visits by foreign Heads of State and pays State Visits abroad.

{{Main|List of Tikatan monarchs}}
 
The Tikatan monarchy is over 1000 years old, making it one of the oldest continual monarchy in the world still existing today. The first monarch the monarchy can be traced back to is [[Rudolf I of Tikata|Rudolf I]] (died 999). Originally the monarchy was elective, but in practice the eldest son of the reigning monarch was elected. Later a Coronation Charter was signed by the king to restrict the powers of the Tikatan monarch. Absolutism was introduced in 1494–1495, when the elective monarchy was transformed into a hereditary monarchy. Male primogeniture succession was laid down in law in the Royal Decree of 1501. On 5 May 1779 the constitution was altered to create a constitutional monarchy for Tikata. The Act of Succession of 7 October 1796 introduced the possibility of female succession.
