=== Alaxian period ===
{{main|Alaxian period of Empherias}}The Alaxian period is characterised by Empherias joining the High Kingdoms of Alaxia on 1 December 2448. This was pushed for by a Pro-Kloresan movement rising throughout the 2440s, spearheaded by PSP member Lukas Knight - who splits the party and wins a general election and then referendum on the subject. Following Knight's tenure, former Prime Minister Sofia Hopkins focused on huge investment in Empherias' services allowed for by better economic integration with the other Alaxian countries, economic growth, and a reduction in other industries such as farming. This saw transport infrastructure grow exponentially, education improving drastically with federal government guidelines, and a cultural revolution. The marriage of Hopkins and the Azyeri Prime Minister Jiari in 2468 was celebrated but then loathed as she left the country for long periods of time. Hopkins premiership was also record breaking for being the first transgender Prime Minister, and the longest serving since Sir Isaac Campbell.
Following Hopkins was four Prime Ministers across the next seven years, as the economy entered recession due to international circumstances. The Liberal party entered government under Scarlett May after the 2475 general election for the first time since 2441 and pursued privatisation and a brief stint of austerity to reduce any deficit. They also oversaw the increased efficiency of government and a more media-focused government with the Prime Minister attending various radio and TV shows. The Socialists returned to government in 2487 under Alistair Walker - but he was assassinated in July 2488 unexpectedly. He was succeeded by Lucy King who ruled until 2500. The majority of her time was overshadowed by the Socialist{{En dash}}Green coalition which saw Georgia White, leader of the Greens and Durbanist Party, as Deputy Prime Minister. Succeeding her was James Williams, who lasted until 2501.
The Liberals returned to power until William Turner winning the 2501 general election, but his time in office ended abruptly with his shock resignation in 2507 amid the outset of the largest recession ever experienced. Meanwhile, the Socialist party had collapsed, with many top officials and backers along with the federal group Red Bloq moving its support to the new Labour party. This power vacuum, with many not willing to support Labour yet, saw the Nationalists win the 2507 general election. Pippin Pierre, then later Spencer Wright, ruled until 2515 and helped grow the economy again and stop extensive damage. Labour entered power for the first time in 2515 under John Malkey - a candidate for the Red Bloq for presidency years prior - who stayed until scandals forced his resignation in 2519. The Liberal party, under Valorie Metz, have been in power ever since 2519, for the past 8 years.
