“By Quill, Crown, and Curiosity, We Govern.”
The Kingdom of Eyehasseen is a micronational monarchy of constitutional imagination, benevolent authority, and operatic paperwork. Its government is a harmonious blend of tradition, intellect, and whimsical efficiency, rooted in principles both ancient and entirely fabricated.
The governance of the Realm flows from the Sovereign Crown, is coordinated by the Royal Chancery, and operates through an elite cabinet of ministries and offices collectively known as the Governing Body of Eyehasseen.
👑 The Sovereign and Crown Council
At the center of all statecraft stands His Majesty the King (or Queen) of Eyehasseen, a monarch who reigns by divine whim and civic consensus. The Crown holds supreme symbolic authority, issuing decrees, receiving ambassadors (real or imagined), and serving as Protector of the Realm and Patron of the University.
The Crown is advised by the Council of the Crown, composed of senior ministers and high-ranking scribes who meet regularly in the Royal Cabinet Room, or occasionally in the Tavern of Necessary Secrets.
🏛️ The Prime Minister
Appointed by the Sovereign and confirmed by an interpretive dance of confidence, the Prime Minister serves as Chief Administrator of the Kingdom, overseeing the ministries, issuing policy scrolls, and ensuring the smooth operation of the imaginary machinery of state.
The current officeholder, Rt. Hon. Theophilus Quentus Bramblewine, is known for his poise, his poetic legalese, and his total devotion to tea.
🏛️ The Ministries of the Realm
Each ministry of Eyehasseen is headed by a titled official appointed by the Prime Minister and invested ceremonially (often with robes, a wax seal, and occasional confetti). Together they form the Executive Branch of Governance, handling affairs both serious and supremely silly.
🏠 Ministry of the Interior
Manages domestic affairs, infrastructure, and enchanted hedge mazes.
🌍 Ministry of the Exterior
Handles foreign policy, diplomatic scrolls, and all alliances (whether recognized or metaphorical).
👥 Ministry of the Populi
Listens to the will of the people, conducts polls (and palm readings), and registers citizen poets.
✒️ Royal Chancery
Maintains official documents, preserves national handwriting standards, and applies royal wax seals with ceremonial flair.
🎭 Ministry of Culture & History
Curates the national mythos, oversees historical reenactments, and adjudicates duels between historians.
⚔️ Ministry of War & Conflict
Maintains Eyehasseen’s mostly-theoretical defense strategy and annual tabletop wargames.
💰 Ministry of Economics & Finance
Guards the national florint, oversees budget scrolls, and tends to the Royal Abacus.
📖 Ministry of Truth
Protects truth in all public statements, scholarly work, and long-form metaphors.
🕶️ Ministry of Clandestiny
Operates in mystery, silence, and whisper. No further details can be confirmed or denied.
📜 Legal & Scholarly Instruments
Eyehasseen is governed by a set of living documents including the Royal Charter, the Scroll of Civic Order, the Footnotes of Founding, and the Treatise on Imaginary Boundaries. All laws are archived in the Great Lexicon under the supervision of the Royal Chancery and the Ministry of Truth.
🏛️ The Role of the University
St. Leo the Great University is not only a center of learning but a constitutional institution. The Sovereign serves as Chancellor Ex Officio, and graduates of the University are often inducted into the Orders of Honor, offered roles in governance, or called to noble service.
📬 Correspondence and Petition
Citizens and visitors alike may write to the appropriate ministry, submit royal petitions, or appeal directly to the Crown via properly illuminated parchment or enchanted envelope.
Note: Digital messages are accepted but will be ceremonially printed, wax-sealed, and read aloud by a herald before consideration.
