Maruhage Empire - Emperor Selection Means

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 Namerō!

Famous quotes containing the words emperor, selection and/or means:

    I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King—my republican feelings and principles forbid it—the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
    Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)

    We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
