The Empire of Septempontia

As the Sovereign of a constitutional monarchy, The Emperor presides
over a wide range of ceremonial duties and functions. Here are just a
few such functions:

• As Head of State, it is his responsibility and honor to receive
  official visitors from other countries.
• As Fountain of Honor, he confers peerage, knighthood, or other
  honors upon worthy Septempontians or persons from other counties, to
  recognize their talents and services to the Empire.
• As Sovereign, he has the privilege of presiding over Parliament in
  a ceremonial capacity whenever it assembles in one place.
• He can create honorable ceremonial positions such as Cricket Bat
  In Waiting (His Majesty's Official Bodyguard) and appoint persons to
  serve in those roles.
• He holds the highest precedence at all formal social events and is
  often called upon to say a few words to mark the occasion,
  particularly at the celebration of Imperial holidays.
