The '''Kingdom of Aldia''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Königreich Alden'', <small>pronounced:</small> {{wp|Help:IPA/Standard German|[ˈkø:nɪgʁaɪ̯ç ˈaldən]}}) was a {{wp|sovereign state}} and [[Mascylla|Mascyllary]] {{wp|kingdom}} centered around the historical state of Aldia and additional territories in northern and central Mascylla from 1647 until 1923. It was the leading nation in the unification process of Mascylla in the [[War of the Five Kings]], and the dominant economic, military, and political power within the [[Mascyllary Kingdom]] until its dissolution in 1924.


The '''Kingdom of Aldia''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Königreich Alden'') was a {{wp|sovereign state}} and [[Mascylla|Mascyllary]] {{wp|kingdom}} centered around the historical state of Aldia and additional territories in northern and central Mascylla from its formal foundation in 1297 following the conclusion of Dilisme's War with the Peace of Westmarke to its re-organization into the democratic State of Aldia after the [[Mascyllary Revolution]] in 1924. It was the leading nation in the unification process of Mascylla in the [[War of the Five Kings]] and in the [[Mascyllary Kingdom]] until its dissolution in 1924.
The kingdom was created from the unified [[Grand Duchy of Aldia–Fania]] following the conclusion of the Peace in Hubertsburg, the [[Dorsace War]], and the [[X War]] in its entirety at large in 1647 by William Louis I. As a maritime and agricultural power, it grew to become one of the most influential Mascyllary states by the 18th century. After the gradual decline and [[Partitions of Cuthland|partitions]] of the [[First Cuthish Empire]], especially following the [[War of the Cuthish Succession]] in 1740 under the reign of George Charles I and Frederick Albert II, Aldia was recognized as one of Berea's {{wp|great power}}s and effectively pushed for a pragmatic and {{wp|reactionary}} effort of Mascyllary unification, which was increasingly resisted by the rivalring [[Kingdom of Adwinia]].


[[Category:Cuthland-Waldrich]]
In 1787 it became a decisive member state of the [[Elbgau Confederation]] and initiated its evolution into the Aldian-dominated [[Mascyllary Kingdom]] following the defeat of [[Kingdom of Adwinia#List of Dukes and Kings of Adwinia|Charles Anthony III]] in the [[War of the Five Kings]] (1789–1793), with King Lucas I styling himself [[Monarchy of Mascylla|Mascyllary King]]. In the wake of the [[Cuthish Revolution]] and the [[Cuthish Revolutionary War|subsequent war]], Aldian policymakers were the main driving force behind the domestic promotion of Mascyllary {{wp|nationalism}} and national {{wp|conservatism}}, vehemently rejecting {{wp|liberalism|liberal}} {{wp|revolution|revolutionary}} thought with the 1818 [[Reichenbach Decrees]]. The defeat of Mascylla in the [[Alhstead Wars]] (1830–1841) by [[Emperor of Cuthland|Emperor]] [[Edwin III of Cuthland|Edwin III]] and the [[Mascyllary Revolution of 1847|Revolution of 1847]] forced Aldia to adopt a {{wp|constitution}} in 1850, the last federated state of the Mascyllary Kingdom to do so. The [[Great War (Aurorum)|Great War]] (1911–1916) devastated extensive swaths of densely populated regions in Aldia ([[Elbgau–Blaugold region]]), and in 1923, the [[Mascyllary Revolution]] led to the abolition of the state's monarchy and the proclamation of the democratic modern-day [[Free State of Aldia]] (''Freistaat Alden'').

The Kingdom of Aldia (Hesurian: Königreich Alden, pronounced: [ˈkø:nɪgʁaɪ̯ç ˈaldən]) was a sovereign state and Mascyllary kingdom centered around the historical state of Aldia and additional territories in northern and central Mascylla from 1647 until 1923. It was the leading nation in the unification process of Mascylla in the War of the Five Kings, and the dominant economic, military, and political power within the Mascyllary Kingdom until its dissolution in 1924.

The kingdom was created from the unified Grand Duchy of Aldia–Fania following the conclusion of the Peace in Hubertsburg, the Dorsace War, and the X War in its entirety at large in 1647 by William Louis I. As a maritime and agricultural power, it grew to become one of the most influential Mascyllary states by the 18th century. After the gradual decline and partitions of the First Cuthish Empire, especially following the War of the Cuthish Succession in 1740 under the reign of George Charles I and Frederick Albert II, Aldia was recognized as one of Berea's great powers and effectively pushed for a pragmatic and reactionary effort of Mascyllary unification, which was increasingly resisted by the rivalring Kingdom of Adwinia.

In 1787 it became a decisive member state of the Elbgau Confederation and initiated its evolution into the Aldian-dominated Mascyllary Kingdom following the defeat of Charles Anthony III in the War of the Five Kings (1789–1793), with King Lucas I styling himself Mascyllary King. In the wake of the Cuthish Revolution and the subsequent war, Aldian policymakers were the main driving force behind the domestic promotion of Mascyllary nationalism and national conservatism, vehemently rejecting liberal revolutionary thought with the 1818 Reichenbach Decrees. The defeat of Mascylla in the Alhstead Wars (1830–1841) by Emperor Edwin III and the Revolution of 1847 forced Aldia to adopt a constitution in 1850, the last federated state of the Mascyllary Kingdom to do so. The Great War (1911–1916) devastated extensive swaths of densely populated regions in Aldia (Elbgau–Blaugold region), and in 1923, the Mascyllary Revolution led to the abolition of the state's monarchy and the proclamation of the democratic modern-day Free State of Aldia (Freistaat Alden).

This list details all Kings of Aldia (1647–present). Every single monarch is either of the House of Lünburg or its successor House of Ahnern and Ahnern-Welsbach. With the Mascyllary Revolution in 1924, the monarchy of Aldia is generally considered to be dissolved, even though the constitutional institution and style of "King" or "Queen of Aldia" is retained by the Mascyllary monarch. However, the modern-day Free State of Aldia is defined as a federal semi-presidential republic by its state constitution and therefore de facto without monarchy, but remains within the Mascyllary monarchy at large as a devolved federated state (Reichsland).
