The '''High Kingdoms of Alaxia''' (Exteras: {{ASc|altes reinados alaxianos}}/haɪ ˈkɪŋdəmz ɒv ɑlæksiɑ/; abbreviated as '''HKA''', Exteras: {{ASc|hka}}), sometimes referred to as the '''High 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]]. It is the fourth largest country in the world by [[List of countries and dependencies by area|land area]], and fifth by [[List of countries and dependencies by population|population]] with over 700 million people. In terms of economy, It has the fourth largest [[List of countries by GDP (nominal)|gross domestic product]] in the world, but sixth [[List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita|per capita]]. The country borders [[Karkuss]] and [[Fazar]] to the west; [[Livyirin]] to the northwest; [[Saki-Bussi]] and [[Ladros]] to the north; Fazar, again, and the [[Hveden Federation]] to the east; [[Palakkinen]] to the southeast, and the [[Southern Hvede Polar Territory]] to the south.

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.

Several key movements were vital to the creation of the High Kingdoms due to political manoeuvring throughout the 2430s and 2440s. Five members of the 20s generation: Chris Harcey, Oliver Mendes, Elle de Pink, Gene Stewart, and Stephen John; would establish the What Next Group in 2424 following the end of the Great War. This group would eventually grow and become more concerned with Ahitereira-Koresan politics after the death of Joana I. Many in the group were hard line libertarians and republicans, although some were content with being parliamentarians and wished to grow their influence to Kiavalar, where the possibility of a personal union grew. Other groups did exist, such as the 'Valar Into East' group, led by Finlay George, who pushed for Kiavalari integration with east Alaxia; the 'Joana's Legacy' group led by Alexander Burke which often discussed post-Joana interests. However, none of the groups would become relatively known until the 2430s.

The What Next Group gained notoriety in Ahitereira after famous journalist Arthur Barboza came out in support of them and their views on a hypothetical personal union. He claimed that the union provided great benefits to all Alaxians. Over the next decade, he would continue to release pro-unification works including several best-selling books such as 'The Eye of Alaxia' in 2433. In Kiavalar, Jake Russell and Valorie Ward co-authored several articles which pandered to the educated left and many liberals which saw integration with an Ahitereiran-led state as a quick way to introduce better forms of democracy into the country - as well as better economic equality. The What Next Group released a joint declaration on the positive interests of such a personal union in 2435.

However, their positions were controversial. Many believed that reforms promised by the side of the union were unfounded and impossible, or that they had vested interest in the benefits. Some criticised them for anti-nationalist sentiment, others believed that voters in the other countries were stupid and could sway elections negatively for them, while others thought it was an insult to Joana to predict her death.

In Empherias, prominent pro-Kloresans became more and more popular into the late 2430s. George Pierce, a journalist, would become famous after writing an article in 2438 highlighting the positives of such a union. The establishment of an official group in Empherias known as the 'Alaxian Through Kloresa Society' would see Pierce become a member alongside hundreds of aspiring politicians and activists. One of these members was Gregorik Marsh who quickly gained a rivalry with Pierce. Marsh was also a journalist and believed that while union was good, that they shouldn't give up their sovereignty too easily. Marsh and Pierce would have very public fights across 2439, but Pierce would eventually go missing and be declared dead in 2440. Many, including allies such as George Proweur, George Princeley, and Aleksander Treitschke, believed that this a plot by anti-unionists in Empherias to quiet the movement.

Lewes Haarig, an Empheri-Palakkine news reporter, would be the first news reporter of the public broadcasting company of Empherias to speak out as a pro-unionist in 2440. He was eventually fired in 2441 by the incoming Socialist government, and thus moved to join the ATKS later that year. Haarig would become a leading figure of the movement alongside Proweur in Empherias. The Campbell twins, Ellie and Wallace, were descendants of former prime minister Isaac Campbell, and were keen to use their credibility to advocate for the unionists. Ellie Campbell was elected as a Liberal MP in the 2441 general election.

While the ATKS was primarily liberal, an opposing group of Socialists formed a sector within the People's Socialist Party to advocate for unionism. This was named sALAX, although the sK sect opposed it heavily.
