The '''High Kingdoms of Alaxia''', commonly(Exteras: just{{ASc|altes referredreinados toalaxianos}} as/haɪ theˈkɪŋdəmz ɒv ɑlæksiɑ/), abbreviated as '''High KingdomsHKA''' or(Exteras: just{{ASc|ara}}), and sometimes referred to as the '''HKAHigh Kingdoms''', is a union of five countries in [[East Alaxia|eastern]] [[Alaxia]]. It is made up of the constituent countries of '''[[Valar|Kiavalar]], [[Ahitereira]], [[Koresa]], [[Empherias]]''' and '''[[Peryzium]]''' alongside several outlying islands and federal territories, such as the capital [[Esperiy]].

The country formed officially in 2447 upon the death of [[Joana of Ahitereira-Koresa|Joana I]] of [[Ahitereira-Koresa]], which brought them into [[personal union]] with Kiavalar. This union then expanded in 2448 to include Empherias and Peryzium while Koresa became an equal [[constituent country]]. An official [[Constitution of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|constitution]] came into effect in 2452. There are three separate branches of the federal government: the [[Supreme Court of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|Supreme Court]], which is the highest court above all constituent [[High Courts of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|high courts]], forming the judiciary; the [[House of Representatives of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|House of Representatives]] forming a single chamber legislature headed by the [[Premier of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|Premier]]; and the executive government led by the [[President of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|President]] and [[Cabinet of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia|cabinet]], elected independently of the legislature. The most important parts of the federal government are imposing checks and balances on local governments, foreign policy, and military decisions, while the constituent countries' governments focus more on domestic policy including laws, public services, etc.

==== ConferencesConstituent countries ====
There were several conferences between future member states held before the death of the monarch that would formally tie the two nations together:
 
* Inysta Conference 2445
* Kayrin Conference 2445
* Vreimer Conference 2446
* Esperiy Conference 2446

=== Union with Empherias ===
A pan-Kloresan movement sprung in Empherias in the 2440s which led to increased division within the [[People's Socialist Party of Empherias|People's Socialist Party]] over the issue of Alaxian unity. As plans for the upcoming High Kingdoms were being formulated, the Socialist [[Prime Minister of Empherias|Prime Minister]] [[Katelyn Roberts]] ruled out any involvement of Empherias in any Alaxian political union projects in a public address in June 2445. Despite this, pro-unification Minister of Foreign Affairs [[Luna Gallagher]] and several MPs such as [[Tom James Cook]] and the notorious [[Lukas Knight]], attended all of the conferences and made promises for Empherias' involvement. Officially, the Socialists won the 2445 general election but the support for the Prime Minister was dwindling amongst the Pro-Kloresan base.
 
====Counties====
In a public address to the Vreimer Conference 2446, which was held in Empherias, the aforementioned Tom James Cook made the following statement: "Although my government may disagree, the involvement of Empherias is vital in not only the expansion of our economy, but the economy of Alaxia - and to develop the cultural links between our great nations". This led to Cook's public expulsion from the party for disagreeing with the general view of the party. He and Knight would then leave the party all together and reform the [[People's Populist Party of Empherias|People's Populist Party]] in it's second iteration.
 
==Politics==
The new party alongside internal pressures from the Socialist party led to Roberts' resignation as Prime Minister on 21 December 2447 although she had delayed the process of union past the death of the monarch. Many in government had secretly negotiated with the now established High Kingdoms. Sofia Hopkins, the replacement PM, announced her intention to run an anti-union campaign in a snap election held in 2448. This election would finally settle whether the nation would join in union with the High Kingdoms or not by which Socialist party wins more seats - furthermore, both parties would agree to form a coalition government until the two parties unite to prevent opposing ideologies from gaining power in the event of a vote split. The 2448 general election saw the Populists win 252 seats to the Socialists' 104 and firmly set unification as a key point of the Socialist's agenda henceforth. However, the pro-Kloresan party still did not have a majority of seats on it's own to issue the mandate of unification.
 
===National Government===
Lukas Knight, the new Prime Minister, decided to hold a legally binding referendum on 1 July 2448 to decide whether Empherias would join the HKA or remain independent. The PM and ruling party used a lot more campaigning than usual and many more promotions. For the first time ever, there were major political television adverts for both sides. The Liberals, despite being officially anti-unification, didn't campaign for either side and the Socialists under Hopkins underutilised their campaigning skills resorting to more traditional methods. The results were that 54.04% of people voted in favour of unification and Knight now had two mandates for unification.
{{Main|Politics of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia}}
 
The federal government is split into three sections. The executive is led by the President, elected in presidential elections every five years independently of the legislature, who appoints a cabinet and a vice-president.
Immediately after, the process to officially join the High Kingdoms began in September 2448. The coalition government would pass many new laws to create identical systems of government to align with the High Kingdoms law code. Empherias officially joined the High Kingdoms of Alaxia on 1 December 2448. The coalition government previously formed in Empherias would then run the new constituent country under a caretaker government within the High Kingdoms of Alaxia until the first provisional election were then held on 1 September 2449.
 
The national government is split into four sections. The executive, led by the President and the Council of Viceroys (appointed cabinet ministers), would be completely separate from the legislature and elected via the Presidential Election held every six years. The legislature, would be made up of 600 members of the House of Representatives, formed via the Representative Election held every four years. The judiciary would be non-partisan appointees of the executive, devolved governments, legislature, or independent bodies and courts. Finally, the advisory body would be made up of representatives appointed by the heads of the devolved governments to advise the executive.

==== KiavalarNational broadcaster ====
The [[High Kingdoms Broadcasting Company]] (HKBC) is a federal entity that is controlled by the independent [[High Broadcasting Union]], but funded by the government and is therefore politically neutral and a {{WPlink|state broadcaster}}. It also owns state-level broadcasters in each constituent countries, which then in-turn also control more regional state broadcasters. Due to federal law requiring a state broadcaster, most state-level budgeting is controlled federally, with management being relatively independent and under scrutiny of each devolved government. For example, [[ENTV]] is the state-level broadcaster of the HKBC in Empherias and although it is a subsidary of the HKBC and is therefore controlled by the federal government, the Empheri government own the [[Empheri Broadcasting Guidance Regulator|'Empheri Broadcasting Guidance Regulator' (EBGR)]] which regulates TV in Empherias and controls general management of ENTV.

Railway lines are either publicly or privately owned. Publicly owned railways are controlled by a devolved department (e.g Ministry of Transport in Empherias) with zero shareholders or private competition, while privately owned railways are owned by private corporations for profit. All railway track is owned federally. For lines that cross borders, they may be either privately owned, assigned to the state where the line departs, or owned federally. All high-speed rail is managed by the federal government.

=== Law and Criminal JusticeTelecommunications ===
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on access to the internet, phone lines, public phoneboxes, data, etc with regulations and standards. Furthermore, a part of the GDP is put towards research and development. State law can dictate in which those guidelines are met, and impose additional regulations on them. (e.g in Empherias, a government-owned telecommunications company manages all public phone boxes, provides it's own internet and broadband service for non-profit to rival commercial businesses and subsidies a base level internet access for people on benefits)
 
=== Foreign RelationsEnergy ===
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on safety procedures, energy standards (e.g Hz, plugs, etc), environmental goals and thus the percentages of energy produced by renewable means, etc. The federal law can also issue injunctions to stop any given power plant in which construction is controlled by devolved governments. State law can dictate the construction of new energy plants for renewables, but must gain federal consent for construction of nuclear and non-renewable energy sources. Excess energy in an individual state will be under the jurisdiction of the federal government to transfer to other states or be exported externally to other countries.
 
=== MilitaryWater ===
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on safety procedures, number of reservoirs built and in use, the quality and upkeep of the sewerage system, environmental standards, drinking quality and water supply. Furthermore, the federal government can issue a state of emergency in regards to the regulation of water during floods and droughts which will allow certain powers to be moved away from the state governments into the federal government. State law can dictate where these reservoirs and sewers are built, where water filtration and pumping systems are built and staffed, and during non-emergency times, can vary in regulation and usage.
