{{main|Queer rights in Empherias}}
The rights of queer people across the country has been more widespread and accepted than other countries in the world. The native Sisinic peoples that inhabited the lands were generally more accepting of fringe ideas and thus ideas such as non binary identities weren't ridiculed and socially accepted, although they never grasped widespread popularity to the slow nature of moving media and a lack of general interest.

{{main|History of gay and lesbian people in Empherias}}
People who did not stick to regular heteronormative relationships were not ever deemed lesser throughout Empherias for most of it's history. However, through later centuries, some upper classes were inspired more by other cultures and so the practice wasn't deemed illegal nor wrong, but not given benefits in law. Homosexual marriages were not permitted initially and violence against them became more and more pronounced throughout the twenty-third century. By the 2300s, the practice had gained an underground movement and by 2318 had it's first openly homosexual establishment. The rest of the century saw many new pushes for gay and lesbian people to be treated better, bisexuality became more popular, and homosexual marriage was made legal in the early 2400s under Prime Minister Felix D'laminet.

{{main|History of transgender people in Empherias|Transgender rights in Empherias}}
It has always been generally accepted that some people would change genders in society. Some people of the opposite sex would do stereotypical things of the opposite sex, such as going by a different name or wearing different clothing, and it was not looked down upon. Although violence grew against these people in the 2200s with the emergence of Anternian ideals and family values, there were never any legislation brought to limit them. Certain sects of intelligentsia were actually fascinated by the possibility of changing genders and sex, and the exploration of non-binary identities - these group throughout the 2300s with the re-emergence of good sentiment towards the queer community.
Sex change operations were attempted throughout the late 2300s and early 2400s although medical technology of the time did see some patients die as a result. There was legislation levied by the Conservative government of 2391 to implement measures to prevent deaths by requiring certain prerequisites for patients and doctors to go through first, although this law would later be repealed in 2403 by the Populist government.
Currently, the law dictates that in order to start the process of changing sexes, the person must be diagnosed with gender dysphoria after meeting and being approved by a psychiatrist, and must be at least 18 years old. The process of hormone therapy would be heavily monitored with blood tests and constant review by doctors and psychiatrists. A person can legally change their sex on their birth certificate as soon as they are diagnosed with gender dysphoria. All surgeries are down to the individual on whether they want to take it and most are covered by free healthcare. For some select surgeries requiring hormone therapy prior, and have major post-surgery care, they will consult with their doctors as needed.
For children, direct cross sex hormones are not permitted to be given under the age of 16. Between the ages of 16 and 18, a similar process is used as the adult but more intervention is taken by psychiatrists than usual and the parents are included in the discussion. Children below the age of 16 may be given puberty blockers, of which their effects are reversible, with psychiatric and doctor approval. As defended by the Socialist government in 2497, the PM Lucy King defended having more safeguards in measure to ensure certainty that this is the option the individual wants to pursue, but not too slow that it causes irreversible trauma and damage to their mental health.

{{main|History of justice in Empherias|Justice in the High Kingdoms of Alaxia}}

However, the High Court can be overruled, or appealed to, the [[Supreme Court of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia]], with it's 15 chief justices.
