Granby known as well as the Kingdom of Granby is a micronation located in Quebec, more precisely in Eastern Quebec within the Eastern Townships.
As of 2024, the system of government is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a monarch (King or Queen) as Head of State. The role of the monarch nowadays is mainly constitutional but also symbolic due to the restrictions that the constitution puts in place in front of the monarch. The Prime Minister of Granby is the Head of Government who holds the power to govern alongside the King. Given the executive parliamentary system, the King has some major executive powers in addition to his ceremonial, symbolic and constitutional responsibilities.
The Head of State is since 2024, His Majesty King Marc-Antoine, born Marc-Antoine de Huet, on February 16, 2006 (18 years old), he is the first monarch and Head of State since the transformation into a micronation. The citizens will choose the Prime Minister, elected by the citizens for 2 years. In addition, citizens also elect their deputies representing their administrative sectors in the National Parliament. The monarch then "nominates" his prime minister (this is symbolic) since the monarch chooses the leader of the party with the confidence of the national assembly. The Prime Minister is the Head of Government and heads the Executive Cabinet on behalf of the King.
