Politics of Empherias

Empherias is a constituent state of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia that is governed by a single-chamber parliamentary democracy which is devolved from the government of the High Kingdoms under the Constitution. Executive power is exercised by the Empheri government, led by the Prime Minister, on behalf of the Monarchs and President of the High Kingdoms in order to give partial sovereignty and autonomy to the area. Legislative power is placed in the hands of the House of Parliament, located in Wynnoa, with elections every five years with the proportional representative electoral system. In the 26th century, the main two parties are the Liberal party and the Labour party, however parties such as the Socialists, the Conservatives, the Nationalists, the Bokanists, the Greens, the Alliance, the Ankranks, and the defunct Populist party have held significant number of seats within the past one hundred years. Coalition and minority governments are common, with nearly half of the elections in the past century resulting in a hung parliament. The executive is fundamentally built into the infrastructure of the legislature, with the government being appointed by the Prime Minister - appointed as the Leader of the biggest party or coalition in the House of Parliament.
