Emperor of The Russian Empire

so this is a monarchy? whats the point of the Duma?

Its a constitutional monarchy, meaning while I appoint the Ministers, and the Prime Minister, the Duma will make legislation in the future once their are enough members to hold elections for 4-5 seats.

Personally I Like More of Absolut Monarchy Where there is no Speed Bumps Like Duma But For cn this Administration style suits well

But im saying the Duma have no real perpos because this is just an absolute monarchy disguised to give the people/duma some power.... you have absolute choice so they have 0 purpos
