ABOUT

The United Kingdoms are a system of states that share similiar linguistic, cultural, and social attributes as well as economic and strategic worldviews. Thus, in 2008, the Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia, the Kingdom of the Steppe, the Kingdom of Florenzia, and the Kingdom of Samaru created the entity known as the United Kingdoms, or UKS for short. In addition to the component states, the dependencies of the Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia: the Dominion of Fridwald, the Dominion of Polonija, and the Dominion of Livoniya, are considered full members of the United Kingdoms.
 
Administratively, the capital of this federative system of states is Muscovy on the continent of Lyons. But, for three months of every year, June-August, the United Kingdoms are ruled from Samaru, with a subset of the parliament temporarily relocating to Interlaaken in those months.
 
Monarchy 
As the name suggests, the United Kingdoms are ruled in name by monarchs. The current sovereigns of the United Kingdoms are Her most sovereign and orthodox majesty, Tsarina Anastasia Morgana Halych Orlov and his most serene highness, King Gustav Nicolas Corvinus. For more information about the United Kingdoms' monarchs, please browse to the monarchy page on this site.
 
Parliament
The United Kingdoms were founded as a constitutional monarchy. A bicameral parliament known as the Rada, promulgates and enforces the law in the United Kingdoms. The lower house, the Boyar Soviet, wields significantly more influence than the upper house, the Junckersraat. For a more comprehensive look at the Rada, please browse to its page on this site.
 
Administration
The leader of the majority coalition in the Boyar Soviet is also the executive of the United Kingdoms' bureaucratic administration. That individual, known as the Reichschancellor, is responsible for the day to day administration of the United Kingdoms.
 
Administratively, the kingdoms are governed on a day-to-day basis by a series of ministries with leaders who report directly to the Reichschancellor. These ministries administer the nuts and bolts activities that the government undertakes on a daily basis to ensure that the United Kingdoms can incur debt, defend its sovereign territory, provide oversight for key infrastructure and commercial sectors, and can provide justice. For more information on the administration of the United Kingdoms, please visit the Reichschancellory page on this site.
