Universal Monarchy is a theoretical system of governance in which a single monarch rules over the planet, whether absolute or constitutional. As such, Universal Monarchism can be identified as an ideology that is globalist in nature, at least in outcome.

History and Examples

Ever since even the concept of Empire and rulership, there were cases of great monarchs who with their might and wealth have claimed domain over the entire known world with the first examples being in mesopotamia, Sargon of Akkad claimed the title of King of the Totality/King of the Universe. It may thus be considered one of the most ancient variants of monarchy.

The concept itself has heavy religious undertones, be it with the concept of the God-King from the ancient eras, all forms of divine right to rule or conquer.

Ancient Mesopotamia

Persia

Rome (and all its successors)

The Caliphates

Mongol Empire

The Franks and the Holy Roman Empire

Personality

He loves talking about geopolitics & historical empires from the past as such he wants to imitate them by expanding his empire into what is known as the "universal monarchy" used to civilize what he sees as savage or technologically backward nations. He fears that trends of ethnolinguistic nationalism could lead to civil war in his colonies & the fall of his empire.

He sees the nature of empires and politics and the world as all a giant game which will end once someone holds the entire world, something that the development of technology has made increasingly a possibility. As he believes that someone should be him, he is naturally extremely ambitious and imperialist.

As most historical attempts at world have been from a religious perspective, a lot of justification behind his goals lies in a religious perspective: divine right, the chosen empire, heavenly mandate, etc. so should he be depicted as such.

How to Draw

 
Flag of Universal Monarchism

Universal Monarchism's designs are based on a flag that the Reddit user u/CenturioFabio made to represent a pan-monarchist movement which he posted on r/monarchism under the title "My Take on a Pan-Monarchist Flag".

  1. Draw a ball with eyes and fill it purple.
  2. In the middle draw a gold fleur-de-lis.
  3. Around the fleur-de-lis draw a golden wreath.
  4. Draw a crown with red jewels on top of the ball.

And you should be done.

Relations

International loyalists

  •   Monarchism - ONE EMPIRE, ONE EMPEROR, ONE EARTH!
  •   Imperialism - I shall not stop until all continents and oceans are my domain! Am I not your ultimate goal? Some of you are too republican and ethnocentric
  •   Caesarism - While Caesar wasn't a Monarch or universalist himself, all succeeding Emperors made Rome THE greatest of Empires destined to rule the World. Unfortunately this   nationalist moron tried to claim your legacy, created a republic in 1943, and failed miserably
  •   Byzantine Model - Justinian is my favorite of your emperors, and I really like your slogan.
  •   Pan-Nationalism - You're good for initial imperial momentum, uniting the immediate nations of say the Germans, Britons, Slavs, Franks and such.
  •   Interculturalism - Now that's how we can unify our imperium culturally.
  •   Integralism - Church and state united for one goal, Universal Dominion!
  •   Alexander the Great - Excellent!
  •   Zoroastrian Theocracy - Cyrus the Great was, in fact, Great!
  •   Aurelian - ...Thank you for saving me, Restitutor Orbis.
  •   Khanism - He is LITERALLY me: Genghis Khan means "Universal Ruler".
  •   Habsburg Dynasty - A. E. I. O. U.

Frenemies

  •   Roman Republicanism - You are the predecessor to the greatest of Empires, but why do   your supporters hate expansionism? And why do you hate kings?!
  •   Catholic Theocracy - You hold spiritual dominion over 1.3 billion people, but you directly control only a   tiny piece of land.
  •   Fourth Theory - You have some neat ideas regarding the nature of civilizations, Rome, Christianity, Genghis Khan and so forth, but you're not explicitly a Monarchist and multipolarism isn't really my thing.
  •   Feudalism - Way back in the past we worked together in the HRE but it ended up causing border gore.
  •   World Federalism - I am not sure if you intend on keeping me around, and you don't support my absolutist tendencies either.
  •   Third Way - Trudeau and Blair technically support both monarchy and globalization, but this isn't what I want, you support the King as a figurehead at most (not even a global one) and you limit yourself to economic globalism.
  •   Monarcho-Fascism - Brother, alienating our subjects through explicit nationalism isn't a productive way of subjugating the world. That being said, we do still need a binding force to hold the empire together.
  •   Showa Statism - That Hakkō Ichiu some of your followers support is kinda based, but you are still too nationalist. OK, maybe the house of Yamato could be a potential candidate for an international ruling dynasty, but its supporters need to throw fascism in the trash.
  •   Globalism - What's different between you and me, is that you're unorganised, mostly economic and have little long-term goals. While I believe that eventually, some institution will conquer the world, I intend for that to be me and making it last indefinitely and making something of the power that comes with it.

Republican tribalists

  •   Nationalism - You make my life much harder.
  •   Republicanism - Republican scum!
  •   Separatism - Stop rioting or go to jail for secession!
  •   Tribalism - Primitives ripe for civilizing! But Genghis Khan was really based
  •   Optimateism - You are the worst: republican, anti-expansion and against integration of our subjects. YOU'RE ALL GETTING PROSCRIBED!
  •   Trotskyism - World communism and permanent revolution? My ass! The king's peacekeepers are going to squash you!
  •   Alter-Globalism - Globalism minus the good parts about it. Also, you're against imperialism and assimilation.
  •   Fascism - *Sigh*... Alright, look, we both like, Rome, Caesar, Dante and the Catholic Church, but for different reasons: you like them because you think they are manifestations of the Italian Civilization; I like them because they have potential as bearers of examples and ideas for creating an Universal Realm. Your pursue of the concept of "Impero" is admirable, and so was your temporary cooperation with the House of Savoy. But your nationalist, republican and jacobin origins have betrayed you! Not only did you create a republic in 1943 and failed, but your defeat caused the abolition of monarchy in Italy in 1946! You filthy modernist, how can you claim to be the proper heir of the Roman Civilization?
    •    Have you ever heard of "Fascist Universalism"?

  1. All Monarchs in history who proclaimed themselves king of kings or anything of the sort were always based on some interpretation of the divine right of kings: The monarch may be the incarnation of a diety (Ancient Mesopotamia), anointed by God to rule Christendom, were granted all under the blue sky to rule by the might of Tengri and so forth. The concept is almost always inherently religious.
