Eldras VI
King Eldras IX is the current Monarch reigning over the Kingdom of Alksearia. He has been in power since his father, King Eldras VIII passed suddenly on February 4th, 1993. Ever since Eldras IX rose to power, the Kingdom of Alksearia has started to try and increase it's influence on the world stage, and exert more influence in the region. However, his reign was harshly criticized in 1994 over his age, since he assumed the throne before he was 18, and plagued by a controversial dismissal of the Council of Lords in 2001. He is mostly approved by his citizens with a 84% approval rating, but his citizens rate a little or moderate confidence in his ability to attend to international matters.

Early Life
Early Criticism
Controversy
In 1993, Eldras IX started to open friendly relations with the United Kingdoms of Norgsveldet and Great Morstaybishlia over curiosity of how a constitutional monarchy works and operates. Ever since then, Lord Alfred of House Novarian has harshly criticized his politics. Recently, he called Eldras, "a leader with no backbone, and a leader who wishes to undermine everything that the Kingdom for, and as the monarch is committing treason to his own people!"
Most recently, he has been put under fire for allowing elections to happen in Alksearia. Again, Lord Alfred stood as the person against Eldras, and started to form a splinter nation to go against Eldras.
Changes in Foreign Policy
Upon his accession to the throne in 1993, Eldras started to reverse the idea of isolationism and started to open up relations with other countries, and started to expand trade with other nations. In 2001, he appointed Lord Alexander II to the Council in an effort to better conduct foreign affairs.
