Overview

The United Kingdom officially became a "Kingdom" on September 18, 2009 when the Monarchy Act was accepted by the House of Commons, and passed by the House of Lords. The British Monarch is the ceremonial head of state, and all powers are donated to the Prime Minister, mimicking in ways the real life UK's constitutional monarchy.. The Act established Stephen John Fry as the first "Monarch" of the United Kingdom, a position holding absolute legislative and executive authority. However, this power is exercised by the Prime Minister and Parliament who govern as representatives on his behalf.

The eUK has so far been presided over by five Monarchs, the most recent and longest serving ruler is His Britannic Majesty, King Woldy I of the electronic United Kingdom, whom ascended the throne on October 14th, 2010. He passed away on March 6th, 2012, ending his 18 month reign.

On March 6th, a Revolution began between two warring factions in the United Kingdom. The Red Team, headed by Lily Jayne Summers was the principle head against the Blue Team headed by ApronChef and kcirp, to decide who will be the next monarch of the United Kingdom. This war is still on going, but a date has been set by the Government, acting as a mediator between the two, to decide the next monarch by the 1st of April.
