Austenasia is currently governed as a Commonwealth under martial law, following the suspension of the Constitution and the deposition of the Emperor in June 2025. Previously an executive constitutional monarchy, the state was restructured after the former Emperor attempted to unlawfully call a general election, prompting a decisive response from the elected Government.

Under the new arrangement, the monarchy has not been abolished but has been placed on what the Lord Protector, Lord Andrew Musgrave, described as a “brief sabbatical.” The throne remains vacant, as Crown Prince Shiro has yet to accept the Government’s invitation to assume the role. Until such time, Lord Musgrave serves as Regent to the Crown, exercising the powers of the Emperor and ensuring continuity of governance.

List of Previous Austenasian Emperors

Since our inception in 2008, Austenasia has been ruled by five Emperors, beginning with:

Emperor Terry I Augustus, who reigned from 20 September 2008 to 16 February 2010.

Esmond III Augustus served as the second Emperor of Austenasia, reigning from 16 February 2010 to 20 September 2011, and co-ruling with Emperor Declan I from 19 December 2010. Although the second to ascend the throne, he was titled the third of his name to rule.

Declan I Augustus was the third Emperor of Austenasia, initially co-ruling with Esmond III before his removal from the throne under the 2011 Constitution, after which Declan I became the sole Emperor of Austenasia. He reigned from 19 December 2010 to 20 January 2013.
