1999—2020

Throughout the reign of the family, many things have changed. During the reign of King Roadrunner I there wasn't an institution or anything, only a small paper crown.

This all changed with the reign of Queen Tiny III who introduced the Church Royal, a new church filled with luxurious drapes, flags, boxes, carpets, books and a new crown.

As the different monarchs succeeded the Church was improved and then the Parlour of Rest was introduced and added to the church upon the reigh of Queen Tiny IV, here the coffin of the deceased monarch lies in state for 3 days.

Then major changes came during the reign's of Roadrunner III & IV, a new gold crown was purchased from London in November 2004 replacing the old crown, the old crown was refurbished and now used as a personal princely crown and then again a new total Gold red silk crown was bought in July 2004 from London, replacing the previous November crown and is still used today.

All of the old crowns are kept in the Parlour of Rest whilst the Princely and Sovereign crowns are kept in the Royal Church.

In 2004 upon the reign Queen Tiny IV Church Royal was abolished and replaced by the new Royal House which is now used today and which all Royalty are apart of.

The pandemic of 2020 led to the Hamsterian population decreasing by -10%. Unfortunately, HRH King Roadrunner Royal V, who had ruled for 15 whole years, contracted COVID and was placed under isolation and handed over the kingdom to his son, HRH Warren Roadrunner Royal I, due to not being able to attend court.

Government of Hamsteria

Upon the reign of King Roadrunner IV (2005), on 17 November the Community Hamsteria Constitution was written adding but not replacing Royal House, a new institution to Hamsteria; the Government of Hamsteria.

The New Government of Hamsteria currently governed by HM King Roadrunner IV, was introduced to take absolute power from the monarch and share it halfway, this giving the Hamsteria Community of Hamsters greater freedom and rights in the community, all hamsters members of the community before this was awarder titles by the monarch only and obeyed monarch-made laws. Mike Carter is their leader

The Governor of the government is to be elected once per 6 months and only ONE set of laws are allowed to be passed during the rule, although the monarch now has to negotiate all laws passed with the Governor first and is NOT allowed to abolish institutions or create without Government approval.

The constitution is as follows:

'For the Hamsters, God and the Law shall the Hamsteria Government be formed, with the KING and the GOVERNOR sharing equal right of power of law'

This act was created and in a ceremony of the Royal Family the new 'Seat of Power' building opened by King Roadrunner IV, who is the first Governor of the constitutional monarchy.

The post of governor was abolished by HM King Warren Roadrunner Royal I after consulting the community at large as the post had become redundant (owing to no awareness among the hamster population regarding Hamsteria).

The list of Governors are as follows:

1. FIRST Governor, HM King Roadrunner IV (Term 1: Nov—Dec 2005)

Royal Coronation

On the proclamation of a new monarch this is read before the crown be placed:

IN THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY GOD, WE CROWN YOU..., although during Church Royal a different speech was used. It numbered too many words to list here without irritation to the reader.
