Requiem-Protocol

The Empire shall stand strong, even after the Emperor's death. To prevent the demise of the Empire after Siegfried died (possibly because of murder or accident), there will be the Requiem Protocol, a order which shall be immediately executed after the death of the Emperor.

Death of the Emperor
The Emperor can be counted as dead, if he was inactive for over 5 days without a reason. After this, the Grand Lord shall take some steps to preserve the Empire.

To execute this order, is the Grand Lord's largest duty. However, if he executes this protocol in less than 5 days after the Emperor's disappearing or while the Emperor is still active, this will be seen as high treason or a attempted rebellion against the constitution.

If the Emperor would not be dead but disappeared so long for another reason
If the Emperor would return someday after these 5 days, this order shall be made undone immediately, the Emperor regaining all his former power. The Grand Lord cannot legally resist in such a scenario.

However, the Emperor must prove his identity to the Grand Lord at his return to assure, that there is no fake-emperor claiming the throne.

Title of the Emperor
If the Emperor dies and is officially confirmed dead, he'll still be the Emperor. The title of the Emperor cannot be carried by another one, the Empire would be officially ruled by the Grand Lord. The Emperor will become the holiest of the imperial heroes, a small shrine for him must be built, remembering about his act of founding the Empire. The Emperor Siegfried remains Emperor for eternity.

Steps to do first during the execution of the Requiem-Protocol

 * 1) The Grand Lord will officially confirm the Emperor's death on his own profile and write the same post on the Emperor's profile on KoGaMa.
 * 2) The Grand Lord will announce the Emperor's death on every channel of the Imperial Discord Server, but without a ping.
 * 3) The Grand Lord will message the entire Imperial Government, all vassal leaders and all allied leaders about the Emperor's death.
 * 4) The Grand Lord will announce with a ping, that he's the Emperor's successor but that he is not the new Emperor, since this title shall be eternally for Siegfried.
 * 5) The Grand Lord will keep the Empire in check. If there are any unfinished wars, he will make peace with the enemies but the peace treaty shall not weaken the Empire.
 * 6) The discipline of the Empire must be kept, the Empire shall not lose any of it's strength it gained under the Emperor's rule.
 * 7) The Empire shall never go to war again and always go the way of neutrality.
 * 8) If the Grand Lord cannot rule anymore or dies too, then the Primarchs will rule. If there's no Primarch, then the Warmaster, the Lord-Inquisitor, the Lord-Commander and the Arch-Guardian will rule.
 * 9) Anyone who got a nobility in the IR by the Emperor, will keep the title.
 * 10) Even if mostly in peace, the Empire will be constantly prepared for war. If there is a war, the IR only can defend itself.
 * 11) The Imperial Military Doctrine must be preserved, the constitution must not be changed.
