the '''High Kingdom of Empherias''', commonly known as '''Empherias''', is a nation in [[southeast Alaxia]]. It has been a constituent country of the greater '''[[High Kingdoms of Alaxia]]''' since 2448. It is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, but the monarchy plays little to no part to politics in Empherias<ref>the monarch previously had a large influence in the country before the union with the High Kingdoms.</ref>{{efn|name="Monarchy"}}, living in [[Kiavar|Kiavalar]]. It is often cited as one of the most democratic, peaceful and progressive nations in the world. As an independent nation, it remained neutral participating in no major conflicts for the better part of a millennium.
 
The country's population is approximately 69.64 million<ref>as{{efn|name="As of 2525</ref>"}}. The true number of Emphers are unknown as there are many living in Empherias who haven't fully immigrated or assimilated, and there are many ex-patriots living in other countries, particularly in other High Kingdoms members, and the [[International City]] which hosts around 130,000 Empherians. It borders the [[Kingdom of Karkuss]] to the west, [[High Kingdom of Koresa|Koresa]] and [[High Kingdom of Ahitereira|Ahitereira]] in the northwest, [[Grensalbourg]] and [[Palakkinen]] in the east, and the [[Hveden Federation]] in both the north and south.
 
Since 2488, the nation has been ruled by Prime Minister [[Lucia Emmelie King|Lucy King]] as leader of the [[People's Socialist Party of Empherias|People's Socialist Party]], which runs as a subsidiary of the larger [[Red Bloq]] party that runs nationally in High Kingdoms' elections. Lucy King has won the previous 3 elections: those being 2491, 2495, and 2499. She intends to run in the next election, rumoured to be in 2503. On top of these, the Socialists also won the 2487 election with the former leader, [[Alistair Walker]]. Before these socialist successes, the nation was run by the [[Empherian Liberal Party]] (who are now the largest opposition party) under beloved Prime Minister, [[Scarlett May]].
Line 192:
There are various national symbols of Empherias in terms of colours, landmarks, and regular symbols, although many are not official. Prominent colours in representing the nation include the flag colours of red, white, and blue, alongside gold in the royal standard. Pink is also sometimes correlated with the nation. The sport of fencing saw the prominence of swords in national symbolism, with butterflies or fairies also being popular folk creatures. Therefore, some works of fiction have seen fairies holding swords as popular tropes named Fyzwaards. Dolphins are the national animal. Rivers, mountains, and the northern volcanic fields, and the valleys are often symbols representing the physical geography of the nation - the river Ewynn more specifically. Sometimes, the colour red and more especially the ideas of socialism or progressivism are associated with Empherias and the wider 2395 revolution. Sometimes, alongside other High Kingdom nations, the idea of peerages and nobility is also associated.
