&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;An Imperial Mandate originally was a conceptual political motivator for any of the leaders [[Colthori Dynasty]] in the event they were elected to their position by a popular majority. However, no rulers ever attained their status outside of inheriting their position or through motions passed by the Dynasty’s parliament. The concept’s first use as its modern definition was in ZX 2097, where an unnamed court scribe suggested the newly elected ruler utilize the fact they were still king to justify their new, unpopular laws, despite mounting social and economic pressure of the time. Thus, the definition shifted towards a more authoritarian tone, where the impetus of a ruler’s actions were justified by the fact they were still in office, which increasingly has been used despite clear evidence of rulers engaging in measures to maintain their power outside of citizen approval. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origin==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first recorded use of imperial mandate dates to ZX 2007, which was claimed to have been received via a rogue transmission through the now decrepit [[Esticular Information Relay]]. Popular use of the term in it’s orignal form began in 2029, where the government began ensuring constituents that “If there were any case their leader was elected by popular majority vote, they would be bound to their promises during the election by Imperial Mandate.” Despite this, no such election was ever held, and the term quickly became a satirical phrase used in a majority’s of anti-government media. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Modern Use==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of the writing of this article, Imperial Mandate largely refers to the ability of a ruler to maintain their office. If a ruler has kept their position long enough, in theory, they are justified in passing law regardless of content. This has led to legislature being passed that otherwise would have been ignored, but was forced to the table due to this concept.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
