It was decided that Mangaria should have an uncontroversial Head of State so that power struggles and unnecessary factionalism could be avoided.	+	The Kingdom of Mangaria is a constitutional monarchy.

	A feline monarch provides absolute neutrality in political and social matters, and is beyond reproach.

To date, there have been two monarchs of Mangaria, and one brief period of regency.		A feline monarch provides absolute neutrality in political and social matters, and is beyond reproach.
