Political oversight

The Constitution vests the Emperor of Polynesia with the power to conclude treaties, wage war and make peace.

Thus, the Emperor plays a symbolic role in foreign relations. In reality, the Emperor's job lies in entertaining foreign guests, receiving the accreditations of foreign ambassadors and signing the accreditations of Oan ambassadors to other nations, undertaking foreign visits when asked by the government and signing treaties which the executive and legislative branches have already promulgated.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arana Marama, is in charge of the diplomatic service and she is the highest advisor of the government on foreign relations. She controls the Department of Foreign Affairs which administers diplomatic relations with other nations.
