As per the Basic Law of Atovia, the succession to the throne follows absolute primogeniture within each royal house.

The original standards were designed and adopted by Connor I on 19 May 2018. The designs were then updated on 3 November 2018 and updated further, to their current design, on 30 December 2019. The Royal Standard represents the monarch and is only permitted to be flown from buildings in which the Monarch is residing or displayed on vehicles used by the Monarch for official duties. The other standards follow similar rules with the difference being the individual or individuals they represent. The standards are swallowtail horizontal tribands of blue, white, and orange, charged with the greater coat of arms, the middle coat of arms, and the heraldic crown, respectively.
