King Eldras VI started to move the kingdom away from absolutism into a more constitutional monarchy in late 2020. This move has been met with a lot of controversy within Alksearia. The first government formed was under [[Matthias Barbet]], however, his government came to end in October 2020, leading to then-Princess-Regent Dorothea to call for a new election. The second election will happen on 9th January 2021. Queen Dorothea is the current monarch after the brutal murder of her father, King Eldras VI on live television. This has lead to a war between Balistria and Alksearia, bringing most of the world to war.

The Kingdom of Alksearia is the successor state to the '''Duchy of Eastern Alksearia''' and the '''Grand Duchy of Western Alksearia'''. The two were combined in 1599 under the first king of the new kingdom, King Erique I.
The history of Alksearia since the inception of the Kingdom has been split into 3 distinct periods: The First Kingdom, The Second Kingdom, the Third Kingdom. Contrary to the titles of these periods, it is the same Kingdom throughout all periods.

After announcing an election, Eldras VI started to work to reform some different laws in the country before the parliament was elected. His last reform was abolishing both the serfdom and the practice of involuntary servitude. The results of the July 2020 election ended with [[Liberal Alksearia]] winning 230 seats, Monarchist Party winning 100 seats, the Nationalist Party winning 94 seats, and a single Independent winning 1 seat.

▲After announcing an election, Eldras VI started to work to reform some different laws in the country before the parliament was elected. His last reform was abolishing both the serfdom and the practice of involuntary servitude. The results of the July 2020 election ended with [[Liberal Alksearia]] winning 230 seats, Monarchist Party winning 100 seats, the Nationalist Party winning 94 seats, and a single Independent winning 1 seat. The leader of Liberal Alksearia, Matthias Barbet, formed the first elected government of Alksearia. During Barbet's tenure, King Eldras VI was kidnapped and executed extra-judiciary in Balistria for "crimes against democracy." This lead to the start of the [[Balistrian Coalition War]]. This war concluded with the annexation of Balistria within Alksearia.
Following Matthias Barbet's arrest, Archbishop Rhea has started a fund to help Barbet defend himself in Court. Queen Dorothea has announced that she will be the lead prosecutor in the case. (more will be added as the Roleplay An Empress Rises continues)

While the Crown has the power appoint any person they want as a diplomat to another nation, the Crown has a small Foreign Affairs Committee comprised of 5 sitting members of the General Assembly. King Eldras VI used this briefly when nominating Dorothea to be diplomat to both [[Norgsveldet]] and [[New Leganes]], and when he created the position of Ambassador to the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances|UCA]].

===The Parliament===
The Parliament was established in August 2020 after a referendum to ratify the Constitution of the Kingdom of Alksearia. The first government formed was under Matthias Barbet, a well-known activist for democracy within Alksearia. He had met with King Eldras VI on numerous occasions to help establish what the Parliament would look like. When the referendum passed, Barbet had his fellow activists and friends band together to create the Liberal Alksearia Party. Unsurprisingly, Liberal Alksearia won more than enough seats to form the first government. The other two parties were formed in reaction to the rise of Liberal Alksearia. The Nationalist Party was set up to uphold traditional Alkari traditions while also limiting the power of the central government. The Monarchists were formed to give the Monarch more power and to limit the power of the Legislature. Both of these early opposition parties were faced with a ton of internal struggles and instability until the fall of the Liberal Alksearia party in
The Parliament is split into two chambers: The General Assembly (lower house) and the Senate (Upper House). The General Assembly and the Senate have the ability to propose and approve of any bills submitted to either chamber. Both houses must approve legislation before it is signed into law. The Government is formed in the lower house. The current government is lead by Prime Minister [[Matthias Barbet]], however, after his arrest, a special election is expected to take place on

While the government is formed by the majority, the Opposition forms the Shadow Government. Being a Shadow Minister does not give any addition power to an MP. The leader of the Shadow Government is the Leader of the Opposition. During the previous session, the Leader of the Opposition was [[David Pernet]] of the Monarchist Party. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is [[Fabien Morel]] from the Nationalist Party. The Shadow Government was formed as a coalition against Liberal Alksearia and the "radical changes they sought to bring to our Kingdom
