The middle of August 2022 brought a discussion to the Founder's Committee, of adopting a ceremonial Prince into the Commonwealth, for the purposes of preserving Vlad Tepes' history, as well as continuing the royal legacy of Vlad's house, the House of Basarab. The plan is for the Prince to be the sole historian of the nation, while granting noble titles to those who above and beyond to provide for the community. Currently, Parliament made the official changes on 5 September 2022, officially changing Dracul to a Constitutional Monarchy, as well as changing the titles of the President and Vice President. | The middle of August 2022 brought a discussion to the Founder's Committee, of adopting a ceremonial Prince into the Commonwealth, for the purposes of preserving Vlad Tepes' history, as well as continuing the royal legacy of Vlad's house, the House of Basarab.

Although [[Sir James Murphy]] was initially proposed as the first monarch of Dracul, shortly before his scheduled coronation, he withdrew himself from consideration for the post. | |||
Following Murphy's abrupt departure as Prince-Elect, an election was held to determine who would ascend the throne as Prince of Dracul. This democratic process closely mirrors the process used to elect Wallachian monarchs during the late Medieval Period. | |||
On 2 December 2022, Vice Chancellor Connor Modena won the election for the throne and was declared Prince-Elect. He chose the regnal name Jakob. Less than one year later, Prince Jakob abdicated the throne and Chancellor Stephen Luke became Dracul's monarch in his place. | |||
