House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha

The House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha, or House of Ruthenia originated from the marriage in 1988 of Duke Ari of Ruthenia and Countess Denise von Goëtzën, later successively Kings of Ruthenia and Archdukes of Karnia. Their descendent, Emperor Oscar I represent the legitimate surviving line of the House of Thomaz-Rocha and the House of Goëtzën, inheriting their patrimonial possessions and vocation to the Empire from the female descendants of the House of Goëtzën and the male line of the House of Thomaz-Rocha. The House gathered dynastic momentum during 11th century, when Rudolf of Rheinfelden, thirty-second-generation ancestor of Oscar I was elected German Anti-king and again during 21th century, the the ascension of Oscar I to the Karno-Ruthenian Throne. One of the most prominent royal houses of micronationalism, the throne of Ruthenia, and then the Karno-Ruthenian Empire is continuously occupied by the house since 2014, and also produced emperors and kings of North American Confederation, Occidia, Acrin, Bessabia, Badakistan, Gaussland, Carpathia, Cardonia, Horvatia, Tsechia, Eslavija and Taslavia, as well as holders of several other minor titles at various micronations. The family split once into a parallel branch, although it was per se a cadet branch of the House of Thomaz-Rocha and the House of Goëtzën. Even ruling distinct territories, the different branches nevertheless maintained close relations. In 2021, the family sealed a pact around the House Law of the Karno-Ruthenian Imperial Family, to regulate inheritance, titles and rights of succession for the members of the family, while claiming ancestral titles.

Principal roles
Their principal roles, including the roles of their cadet branches were as:
 * Emperor-King of Karnia-Ruthenia (2016 - present);
 * Occidian Emperor (2020 - present);
 * North American Emperor (2020);
 * Emperor of Karnia (2016 - present);
 * King of Ruthenia (2014 - present);
 * King of Bessabia (2015);
 * Shah of Badakistan (2015);
 * Domnitor of Carpathia (2015 - 2016);

 * King of Horvatia (2016 - 2017) and (2017 - 2020);
 * King of Tsechia (2016 - present);
 * King of Eslavija (2009) and again (2018 - 2020);
 * King of Cardonia (2020 - present);
 * King of Taslavia (2020 - present);

Numerous other titles were attached to the crowns listed above.

Origin
The House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha originated from the marriage in 1980's of Archduke Ari of Karnia, and Archduchess Denise of Karnia, later King and Queen of Ruthenia. Its members are the legitimate surviving line of the House of Thomaz-Rocha and the House of Goëtzën, inheriting their patrimonial possessions and vocation to the Empire from the female descendants of the House of Goëtzën.

Ascension
After the House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha established itself as a ruling house in 2014, they grew in power, and along Ruthenia, various other domains were added to their influence, producing monarchs of Acrin, Gaussland, Carpathia, Bessabia and Badakistan by 2015, Karnia, Tsechia and Horvatia by 2016, Gaussland, Eslavija by 2018, the North American Confederation and Occidia, Cardonia and Taslavia in 2020. Some other thrones were offered, but the house choose to follow a more strict line of cohesion in the domains they included in their domains. Neverthless, they became relevant figures in foreign micronations as well, and collected several titles and honors abroad. This increasingly status reflected in their rank, from the royal style of 2014 to the imperial rank in 2016, later recognized by the Emperor of the North American Confederation and the Pavlovian Emperor in 2020 through the Treaty of Theodosia, and when Oscar I ascended to the North American Throne, once again recognized by the Pavlovian Emperor as suitable to imperial rank through the Treaty of Osokorky. In the same year, the Micronational Catholic Church, a group of Brazilian micronationalists who, in canonical terms, founded a lay apostolate founded in 1997, with authorization from the Catholic Church guaranteed to Oscar I the micronational use of the style of Apostolic Majesty.

Present
The current head of the house is Archduke Ari (born 1961), who was the first King of Ruthenia as Ari I. As King, he was succeded by his ony son, Oscar I in 2014, and although the acting head of the family since 2014, he effectively succeded his father, Arcdhuke Anton, as head of the family in November 2020. In April 2021, a family pact was signed and the members of the family created the House Law of the Karno-Ruthenian Imperial Family, that finally confirmed the titles of the members of the dynasty, their duties and their place in the line of succession to the Karno-Ruthenian and to the Taslavian Throne. Of the thirteen children of Archduke Anton and Archduchess Denise, ten renounced their position in the line of succession, with just two of them, Archduke Pedro and her sister, Archduchess Celia, with children with archducal titles, although with no right to succession. Another interesting subject is the sucession to the Occidian Throne. Despite being an hereditary monarchy, if Oscar I don't bear a natural heir, the crown will be reverted to the House of Hartmann-Peters due the Act of Abdication and Viceroyalty, don't being affected by the House Law.

Multilingualism
As they accumulated crowns and titles, the family developed a unique family tradition of multilingualism that evolved over the years. Ruthenia had been multilingual from the start, even though its rulers were native Portuguese-speakers. The language issue within the Empire became gradually more salient with the fights between the American-born citizens and the Brazilian-born citizens. After a public consult, the use of Portuguese declined, but maintained as a second official language, along English. Latin is used in some administrative and religious services, while French had played an important part during the early diplomacy during the Ruthenian Era (2014-2016). Oscar I, apart of Portuguese and English, had notions of Spanish and German.

Burials
The burial places of the House are three: a cemetery used by the House of Thomaz-Rocha consecrated on 19th century in what is known today as the Duchy of Cieszpreg and Zallanta, a particular cemetery in Campinas, near Duchy of Oswiencin and a vault at the Cemetery of Lapa, used by the House of Goëtzën. The most recent entombment in the particular cemetery of the Thomaz Family took place on November 2020, with the death of Archduke Anton, while his wife, Archduchess Judith, was the first person to be buried at the family's vault near Oswiencin, followed by their eldest son, Archduke Francis and the first wife of Archduke Pedro, Archduchess Celia. The last entombment of the vault of the House of Goëtzën happened in 1997, with the death of the great-grandmother of Oscar I, Countess Theresa Veronika von Goëtzën, next to her parents and brother. Other members of the "Hungarian branch" of the house were buried in other places.

Line of Succession to the Throne
Karnia-Ruthenia had equal primogeniture sucession, but that is limited to those descended from Archduke Ari of Karnia and in the future, Emperor-King, through approved marriage. Dynasts lose their right to the throne if they marry without the permission of the monarch or current pretender. Individuals born to unmarried dynasts or to former dynasts that married without imperial permission, and their descendants, are excluded from the line to the throne. Further, when approving a marriage, the monarch can impose conditions that must be met in order for any resulting offspring to have succession rights. Also included in the line of succession, although excluded members who were against decisions of the head of the dynasty or promoted any attempt on the dynastic order imposed; the latter are considered "disgraced", lose their titles and their descendants are automatically excluded from the line of succession, although it remains just as a courtesy. The Throne must pass to the member of the Imperial and Royal Family next nearest in lineage with the same line of succession should a situation arise where there are no eligible descendants of the reigning Emperor-King. The monarch is allowed to be a member of any faith of their choosing, traditionally a Roman Catholic. The monarch was never forced to belong to any religion, however to prevent any potential crisis of faith within the Imperial and Royal Family, all members are allowed to profess any faith they desire or none at all.

Heraldry
Members of the Imperial and Royal Family have their own crests, monograms and standards to represent them or their presence somewhere over the Empire and foreign countries. The use of them are regulated by the Emperor-King's Own Office. On 26 December 2014, the standards were changed into new colors and design, to be distinguished of the government standards and after the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016, the standards were changed again for a most simple version. On May 2021, they were remodelled to show the return to proeminence of their ancestry.
