Kaito Aumākua I of the Pāremi Dynasty ascended to the Shugosha Throne as Tāhā on 14 April 3025, the day of Lorikeet's independence from the Balancín Kingdoms. The ceremony of enthronement took place at 12:00 GMT at the Lorikeet city hall. The enthronement was followed by a private ceremony, in which Tāhā Kaito Aumākua was legally crowned in the tradition of the Holy Roman Empire. The event is considered by historians to be the formalisation of Lorikeet's independence and the beginning of the new constitution.
Background
Following the proclamation of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian Augustus that Lorikeet would be legally and administratively separated from the Balancín Kingdoms, speculation began immediately over what system of government would fall to Lorikeet. The Iberian Palace announced shortly later that the new government in Lorikeet would be a constitutional monarchy, as to ensure Lorikeet's continued membership of the Holy Roman Empire. The announcement brought criticism, especially from Lorikeet's secular and buddhist communities. However, many, including constitutional framer Peter Panuelo, argued that the compromise was worth the protection of continued HRE membership. During the drafting phase of the new constitution - the Au Lōhi - it was decided that the monarch of Lorikeet should be a Daokan, rather than inheriting a monarch from the Murcian Dynasty.
Following the publication of the Basic Law, constitutional framer Peter Panuelo announced the unanimous decision of the Free Daokan Society to proclaim Kaito Maha of the Pāremi Dynasty as the new Tāhā, taking the regnal name Kaito Aumākua. As independence day celebrations were planned for 14 April, it was confirmed that Kaito Aumākua would be enthroned on the same day as part of the national celebrations.
It was decided that the enthronement ceremony should borrow from multiple sources of Lorikeetian and Daokan culture. The throne, which was named the Shugosha Throne, was constructed by the Otter & Jones blacksmiths, using steel gifted from the Iberian Throne itself. Additionally, it was decided that the Tāhā would not inherit a crown, but rather would receive a shield of the state as a symbol of his role as first guardian of the realm. As part of the private crowning, it was decided that each monarch should be crowned using a unique laurel wreath, embroidered with the national flower of Lorikeet and the symbolic flower of the Tāhā's reign. Tāhā Aumākua's symbolic flower was announced to be the rhododendron azalea, alongside the national flower of the water iris.
