The Royal Council

The The Royal Council of Ishola was founded in December 2022 in the Empire of Ishola to serve the needs of the community and promote opportunities for development, education, and social growth of the Ishola community. The Iaosi Council is committed to creating an environment where individuals can thrive and embrace their gifts and talents.

Function

The Royal council serves to meet the needs of the Ishola community as a whole through free public institutions. The free education, healthcare, mental health services and personal development programs all Ishola citizens enjoy are a direct result of the work of the Royal Council.

Seats on the Royal Council are Hereditary. The title of Queen and Empress are bestowed on the founding members of The Golden Empire who completed requirements necessary for the development of the community. Though the call for members was open to the public, few answered the call, and even less completed the necessary steps and requirements to elevate in order to lead. After years of work and refining, a small group had completed the work to establish The Golden Empire into an incorporated entity as they brought forth many programs and institutions to serve the people of the community such as The Intuitive Church of Christ, St. Matthews College, St. Matthews Clinic, Sanctified Herbs Apothecary and many others.

As a commemorative thank you, these women were bestowed the title Queen. There are 5 Queens and 1 Grand Empress known and referred to as The Empress. All others are referred to as Empress followed by their first name. The first Grand Empress is The Empress Myishola Matthews, the founder of the Ishola people and The Golden Empire.

Succession

Empress’ are hereditary and are coronated after the life of their maternal parent or abdication of the maternal parent or elder sibling. The Empress title is passed down to the eldest daughter of an Empress. If no daughter is available for succession, the Empress may choose the next eldest female relative of the next generation and may continue to go down the line in order of birth until all options are exhausted.

If no suitable heiress is found, the Empress role of that ministry shall be appointed by the reigning Grand Empress with the approval of the Royal Council.

No member of the Royal Council may vote if they are related to the suggested appointee.
