We have ascended to the imperial Throne of Austenasia as HIM Emperor Jonathan I.
In accordance with the Era Names Act 2011, we hereby announce that a new era of Austenasian history has commenced upon our ascension yesterday afternoon: at twenty six minutes and thirty seconds past five hours post meridiem according to Greenwich mean time, the Era of Majestic Imperium came to an end and the Era of Imperial Glory began.
In accordance with the Austenasian Constitution of 2011, we shall be referred to as HIM Emperor Jonathan I in legal and official usage, with Imperator Caesar Jonathan Augustus being our secondary title for use in such situations wherein such secondary titles are customary. However, for use in formal or diplomatic circumstances wherein it is desired for the full extent of our majesty and powers to be expressed, our full style and titles shall be: “His Imperial Majesty Jonathan the First, Emperor of Austenasia, Romanorum Imperator Occidentalis, Basileus kai Autokratōr Rhōmaíōn, Shahanshah of the Carshalton Nations, King of Rushymia, Second and Sixth Midget Master, Founder of Austenasia, Sovereign of the Glorious Order of St. John, Sovereign of the Order of the Bullmastiff, Sovereign of the Austenasian Order, Marshal of the Imperial Air Force, Grand Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Crown Steward of Imperial Wrythe, Protector of Monovia, Commander of the Quiet Area, Theocrat of Atkantia, 2nd Archduke of Inner Austenasia, 1st Archduke of Outer Austenasia, 1st Count of Greater Wrythe, Dux Britanniarum, Sheriff of Glencrannog, Duke of Atlantos, Prince of Arenberg-Salm, Count at the Erft, Laird of Glencrannog, Cardinal of Orly, Cavaliere of the Order of the Blue Star, Knight of the Grand Order of the Dragon, Member of the Most Honourable Order of the Throne of Sandus, Knight of the Order of the Sovereign Eagle, Stranger Count-Palatine of the Imperial Order of Reyla, Knight Commander of the Order of the Founder, Knight Commander in the Most Noble Order of the Hawk, and Companion of the Community of Landashir,” with any heraldic titles granted to our imperial person by the governments of any state or nation recognised by the Empire to be automatically added to our full style and titles after “Companion of the Community of Landashir” in chronological order of reception. In similar situations in which it may be cumbersome to relate our full style and titles, “His Imperial Majesty Imperator Caesar Jonathan Augustus, Emperor of Austenasia and Imperator Occidentis” may be used instead.
The titles “Romanorum Imperator Occidentalis” and “Basileus kai Autokratōr Rhōmaíōn” (that is, “Western Emperor of the Romans” and “Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans” in Latin and in Greek transliterated into the Latin alphabet respectively) are adopted to replace “Imperator Occidentis” (that is, “Emperor of the West”, although incorrectly translated as “Western Emperor” in the Definitions and Interpretations Act 2012), which was informally adopted by HIM Emperor Esmond III and used in official capacities by HIM Emperor Declan I. We adopt these titles in recognition of our succession to the Western Imperial Majesty, as successor to the dignity of the Roman Emperors in the West, as referenced in the Seventh Imperial Decree of HIM Emperor Declan I and the Definitions and Interpretations Act 2012.
The title “Shahanshah of the Carshalton Nations” is adopted to replace “Shahanshah of the Carshalton Realms”, which was adopted by HIM Emperor Declan I. We adopt this title in reference to the suzerainty of the Austenasian Throne over the thrones of Rushymia, the Midget Nation, and Orly, recognising that while we hold legal suzerainty over those three nations, the nations themselves do not exercise sovereignty over their former territories, with the exception of Orly – it is therefore more appropriate for the title to reflect our Imperial Majesty being overlord of the nations rather than the land.
Proclaimed at Wrythe this twenty first day of January during the first year of our reign, in the year of the consulship of Carolina Kingsnorthus and Pater Imperatoris Terentius.
