The Kingdom was birthed after the union of the Grand Duchy of Western Alksearia and the Archduchy of Eastern Alksearia in 1840 after the conclusion of the two-year war known as the [[First Succession War]]. The War ended with then, Archduke Eldras III to become the first King. The first major expansion of the borders under the new Kingdom saw Alksearia conquer the northern shore, consolidating their control over the . The capital city was moved from Sera-Novia to Urgia-Nova in 1842 after King Eldras decided that 1) it was a more central location and 2) offered better space for the Tuvanian Manor. The Eldras Manor (previously known as the Tuvanian Castle) still stands today, and is a popular tourist location for people to see.
 
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.
King Eldras IX Tuvania serves as the Imperial ruler and sole executor to the operations of Alksearia, while Archbishop Rhea III Eternatus serves as the head of the [[Church of Xaethos]] and serves as the highest religious authority in the Kingdom. However, the Church of Xaethos's doctrine is symbolically passed by the Monarchy after a review as dictated by the Church Act of 1902, after a separatist movement tried to force the Church to declare the Monarchy "treasonous and incompatible for Church governance."

Line 152:
===The Monarchy===
 
While the Monarchy has served with absolute power since the founding of the kingdom, Eldras VI revised the system to become more of a Constitutional Monarchy. The Monarchy retain Foreign Affairs powers, and retained the ability to veto laws coming out of the Parliament.
All executive authority rests in the Monarch. The current reigning Monarch is King Eldras IX of House Tuvania and his wife Queen Annia of House Searia. The Monarch has the authority to exercise the law the way they see fit. They are also technically above the law since the law is executed from the Crown. Under the 1975 decree The Executive Powers, the Monarch is allowed to establish as many seats as they want on the Council of Lords and to abolish any seats on the Council of Lords. The decree also gives the Monarch the authority to abolish the Council of Lords for any reason. The last time this was used was during the Council Gridlock of 2001 when Lord Alexander II of House Emeritus was appointed the new Lord Master, and the Council voted to remove Lord Alexander II for "undisclosed reasons." The gridlock was resolved when King Eldras IX abolished the Council and then reassembled the Council of Lords in 2002 due to international tensions. King Eldras IX is also responsible for overseeing the Church of Xaethos, but this duty only occurs when new doctrine is introduced.
===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.
Legislative authority rests in the Monarch, but the Council of Lords (commonly referred to as the Council) may submit resolutions to the Monarch, and the Monarch may choose to decree them into law. As stated in the Executive Authority section, the Council of Lords serves at the leisure of the Monarch. Appointment to the Council is a lifelong appointment, or until either the Monarch revokes the appointment by abolishing the seat, or the Council is abolished. The last time the Council was abolished was 2001 when the Council tried to remove the new Lord Master Alexander II, but ended up in gridlock. King Eldras IX abolished the council and kept it abolished until early 2002 when he started to appoint a new Council. The first member put on this new Council was Lord Alexander II, who by default was appointed as the Lord Master. The most recent seat added to the Council was in 2008 when King Eldras IX appointed Lord Kreonious of House Illyrias as Minister of Immigration and Citizenship.
 
The Parliament is split into two chambers: The General Assembly (lower house) and the Senate (Upper House). The General Assembly is the only house able to introduce bills to become laws, and the Senate is responsible for . 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 new general election is expected to take place on 9th January 2021.
