The [[Emperor of Polynesia]]'''''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana''''' is the monarch of [[the Oan Isles]], and its dependent territories such as the [[Kohatu Isles]]. The powers of the Crown are enshrined in the Constitution of the Oan Isles (''Kaupapa Ture o nga Motuere Oa''). Succession to the crown is by absolute primogeniture. The reigning sovereign is His Serene Majesty, Emperor''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'' Oahoanu who ascended the throne in 2017. The office was established 1000 years ago by [[Ahua the Great]].

The office of the Emperor of Polynesia''Rangitanga-o-te-Moana'' was established around 1000 CE by the first Emperor''Rangitanga-o-te-Moana'', [[Ahua the Great]]. According to legend, Ahua the Great was instructed by Maui to unite and rule over the people of [[Polynesia]]. After unifying the islands which today comprise the Home Islands of the Oan Isles and formerly the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories]], the office of the Emperor of Polynesia was established. The name used by the people of Polynesia, which remains in force today, is ''Rangitanga-o-te-Moana'', which is transliterated into Staynish as Ruler of the Sea. However, when Morstaybishlian scholars translated the name into their own language, they felt that the title used by the Polynesians to refer to their sovereign challenged the position of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] as a naval power. Thus, the title was translated to Emperor of Polynesia and it has remained ever since.
