Ever since the Xsampan Revolution in 5317, the exiled Lhanamseng Dynasty has spent considerable time in being irrelevant to global affairs, much less being in the Xsampan discourse. With the Dynasty relying on donations from sympathetic monarchists, monarchist exiles and even support from House Ananto (who curiously enough, maintains a cordial relationship with the Democratic Republic of Xsampa), the Lhanamseng Dynasty has struggled to ever really be relevant, with most members of the Imperial Family of Xsampa choosing to embrace a peaceful life in Yingdala (where the Dynasty largely resides) or even in Kalistan. However, Emperor Gephel Lhanamseng, the current holder of the Lhanamseng Throne has taken to tours in Xsampan diaspora communities, looking to rally monarchists and other exiles (Republican Exiles have largely distanced themselves from the Lhanamseng Dynasty) and try to gain the recognition of a proper government. 

To that end, Gephel Lhanamseng has called out publicly, for the restoration of the Royal Serene Empire of Xsampa, the previous political entity which existed before being toppled by revolutionaries in the Xsampan Revolution. Gephel Lhanamseng has insisted that the Democratic Republic of Xsampa holds little legitimacy beyond "faithless communism" and that the Lhanamseng Dynasty should return to Xsampa and the Royal Serene Empire should be restored at earnest. However, with how.. irrelevant the Lhanamseng Dynasty has been in global affairs, especially compared to other Royal Houses, and there's very little chance any government will hear the calls, let alone actually entertain the exiled Dynasty as such a recognition would jeopardize any relations with the Democratic Republic of Xsampa and cause an international issue. 

Beyond that, Gephel Lhanamseng's message has received some light endorsements from a handful of Monarchists NGOs, most prominently the "Xsampan Society for Imperial Restoration", but given that monarchism is hardly relevant in Xsampa proper, with the Lhanamseng Dynasty largely only being mentioned in passing and as apart of the history books, the endorsement is.. hardly helpful. Whatever the case, Gephel Lhanamseng hasn't been deterred from trying to organize diaspora communities, but with the wider Xsampan Exiles divided between monarchists, republicans and the Golden Path, it's unlikely that this will ever amount to anything substantial.
