History
Government
Ecclesia is the sole Theocratic Absolute Elective Monarchy in the world. The Monarch and Head of State is the Pontifex. The Pontifex is also the leader of the Pontifical Church. The Office of the Pontificate governs both state and church together and impartially. The Pontifex holds absolute power in both institutions.
When the sitting Pontifex dies, the Conclave, made up of Ecclesian bishops, meets to elect a new Pontifex. The new Pontifex must not be over 60 years of age, ensuring competence and stability in the monarch.
Another notable figure is the Vicar General, who can temporarily take the Pontifex's position in the event of absence or death.
The current Pontifex is His Holiness Pontifex Rokossovsky.
