The Kingdom of Alksearia, or more commonly known as Alksearia, is located on the Western shores of Arcutria. It is an absolute monarchy, but recently has made major strides to become a crowned republic, with a subservient church, the Church of Xaethos. Alksearia has a symbolic legislature, the Council of Lords, that submits new law proposals to the King, and acts as an oversight committee for various internal operations in the Kingdom.
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 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."
History
On a cold January night in 1837, members of the Councils of both the Duchy of Eastern Alksearia and the Grand Duchy Western Alksearia met. This first meeting was supposed to come to a compromise over the use of the use of the Southern Channel as it had started to become a popular trade area. During this meeting, the idea of a united Alksearia started to float around. The idea died down after this trade meeting, but came back in 1838 when the Grand Duchy of Western Alksearia started to have extreme internal stability issues. The leader, Grand Duke Alphonse III, had been an unpopular leader for some time, and the head of the Tamors decided it was time to go against the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke begged the Duke of Eastern Alksearia, Duke Eldras III, to support him in his Civil War. Although Duke Eldras never sent any men to fight, he did send monetary and equipment aid. When the dust settle, the head of the Tamors, Grand Duke

Government
Executive Authority
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.
Legislative Authority
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.

Lord Alexander II of House Emeritus, Lord Master, Minister of Foreign Relations (2002-present day)
