Crown Electorial System of EgZaviar

This is the procedure for the crowning of new EgZaviar kings.

First, in early April (around the third) once every five years, the public votes on whether or not the king (or queen) gets to stay in office. If 40 or more percent of votes are for the king to leave, a new ruler will be elected.

Elections: The twenty most powerful world leaders (excluding the king), which usually include presidents of it's most powerful countries pick twenty candidates to be the new king. The candidates must be of at least forty years of age, and be an EgZaviar citizen. This happens at around the eighth of April.

Then, EgZaviar's citizens (of age) vote so that five of those candidates move on to the final selection. This happens at around the seventeenth of April.

Finally, the king decides his successor (around the 23rd of April). The five candidates sit in a semi-circle around the king's throne (it is broadcasted, and is a public event). The king carries the Royal Spear of EgZaviar, the king's weapon that was passed on from ruler to ruler, to knight his or her successor.

The king points the sword to the successor's forehead, traditionally grazing it. While doing this, he says "Head of EgZaviar…". He then places it on the successor's left shoulder, saying "Power of EgZaviar…". Then, he places on the new king's right shoulder, saying "Son of EgZaviar" (or daughter, if it's a queen). He turns the sword over, grasping it with two hands with the blade pointing at his stomach, saying, "shall bloom…". Finally, he stabs himself with it, saying, as his last words, "anew.". The successor then claims the sword as his own, pulling it out of his predecessor's gut. At that very moment, his first five-year term begins. It is forbidden to wash off the blood of former kings.

-Up until the 1400s, the gap where the king had to decide his successor was nine days, and referred to as the d"Nine days of Solitude". It was discontinued due to election expenses, and the thought of kings having to wait an entire month to die.
