=== Sovereign ===
Upon the abdication of King Edward II, a succession crisis began. Two of Edward II's family members, Philip and Zacline, were considered for the throne. Stability was threatened if he chose the latter and the former was a staunch supporter of the New Sarovian Empire and not the Commonwealths. Upon the ascension of King Philip of Reuss, Charles Alexander was elected due to his noble bloodline to lead New Sarovia by the Assembly of Peers in an almost unanimous vote. From there, he took on the regnal name of Constantine IX, honouring his direct ancestors. The coronation was the biggest event in the Sarovian realm for months. No expense was spared, which essentially left the treasury empty. As such the coronation portrait of Constantine IX was originally ridiculed and mocked for its simplicity by those who did not attend the coronation.

Constantine IX immediately began issuing decrees opening up democratic reforms, and began elections for the Imperial Parliament's House of Commons. The Parliament initially had very limited scope, such as only focusing on cultural and domestic elements of the empire, but over the many years of his reign, he would further open up to democracy and shift most executive powers to the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, leading the globe as the most successful constitutional monarch.
From there, he began to restore the Imperial Army by formatting it into a regimental system and reestablishing I and II Corps. Under Constantine's leadership, the Empire rose to become the strongest land force in Graal and, on the 12th of December, the [[Grand Restoration Campaign]] began, leading to Sarovian reconquest over all its core territories. The [[War of the Fourth Coalition]] began and, for months, the Sarovians successfully fended off their rivals and continue to hold the land. Constantine IX married a descendant of Edward I, Katherine Vasa, early in his reign when she succeeded King Philip as Queen of Reuss. Through the act of marriage, the Kingdom of Reuss was officially abolished and brought into Sarovia federally. This proved popular with the Anglophone Sarovians, who longed for a return to the glory of old.
