In actuality, in the past Archadian Emperors have been elected. I ascended the throne out of necessity, to stave off civil war. "Donations" do not happen with royalty because simply what we do is in the best interest of the people: make their lives easier through renovating older infrastructure so that they are able to trade their goods and even afford food, give refuge to refugees of wars of the past and ensure that their people have a future.

Though, in your context, I have donated an airship that I had commissioned as a gift.
