Emperor Selection Means
One of the unique aspects about the determination of leadership in the Maruhage Empire is that there is more than one way for the emperor to be chosen. These are the various means by which they choose their main leader:
- Birth: The easiest way to become an emperor of the Chromedome Empire is to be born to the royal family already in place. Whomever is the first born child will become the next in line to becoming the leader after the passing of the former leader. This is how Czar Baldy-Bald the Fourth became the emperor of the Chromedome Empire, being the first born son of the family in power and denying the throne to the second-born: Hydrate.
- Chromedome Empire New Emperor Playoff: Once every fifty years, the Chromedome Empire holds a tournament of all block leaders and management. Having to go through various battles and bizarre landscapes to collect enough tokens, the last one standing will become the next Chromedome emperor. The fifth tournament was unique both in the intervention of forces fighting against the empire (Bo-bobo and his team) as well as the invasion of Hydrate and the Dark Empire, disrupting the battles and forcing enemies to come together to stop him. However, it is possible that this playoff may have been used by Baldy-Bald the Fourth to eliminate all his enemies, allowing him to continue his leadership.
- Aura: Occasionally, there exists a baby born into the empire who exhibits a special aura that is more powerful than the average person. If one has this aura, then they have the potential to become adopted and put towards the front of the line to become Chromedome Emperor! By the time of Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, one with this empiric aura has been discovered and placed first in line after Baldy-Bald the Third for the throne: schoolboy Yononaka NamerÅ!

Famous quotes containing the words emperor, selection and/or means:
“Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
—Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)
