==Early Life and Education==
==Early Life and Education==
Alexis was born January 12, 1989 during an unseasonably wet year at the [[Silver Palace]] in the Glass Hall. He spent the first six weeks of his life with his mother before she turned him over to the care of a governess at the Palace, where he spent the first two years of his life. He was accepted into the succession via the [[Divine Succession]], the ancient ritual that all young heirs must go through.  Following his birth, the Grand Feast of New Life was held across the Tsardom for five days in a national celebration. His gender had been kept a secret until his birth in accordance with ancient tradition for firstborn children. His father officially announced his name on live television across the nation as Alexis, ''"for he will receive the guidance of the great monarchs of old"''. Upon his naming, his father publicly proclaimed him as the accepted and rightful heir to the Sapphire Throne of the all Ludic Peoples.

==Reign==
Alexis began to reign at 15 years of age but left many of his initial duties of managing court to [[XX]], who was appointed as the [[Autocratic and Nobility Titles of the Tarsan Empire|Magistro]] under the rule of Nicholas II. He did little in his initial years besides marry his wife and issue an official edict to grant her full citizenship. He approved a series of military reforms aimed at increasing pay for reservists and for those serving in difficult positions.  
Alexis began to reign at 14 years of age but left many of his initial duties of managing court to [[Alexander Repnin]], who was Prime Minister under the rule of Nicholas II. He did little in his initial years besides complete his education. Alexis approved his first act of policy at 15, which was a military reform aimed at increasing pay for those serving in the hostile climates of Eastern Velikoslavia.  


By age 22, he had began to take on the reigns of government. His first edict was to authorize funds for repairs of the [[Cathedral of Saint Peter]] located in [[Somensk]]. The military was strengthened using an improved defense budget. This further strengthened the border regions though some decried the increase in the defense budget that such reforms brought.  
By age 22, he had began to take on the reigns of government. In 2011, Alexis authorized funds for repairs of the [[Cathedral of Saint Peter]] located in [[Somensk]]. He formed a government committee comprised of the Synod Tax Committee and several key officials and instituted several key changes to the tax code. {{wp|Sales tax}} was waived on certain key necessities like water and specific food categories. Though income tax and sales taxes were slightly raised, all tax rates were nationally standardized and collection systems were streamlined with multiple methods to pay taxes. It is estimated that the tax system and tax collection efficiency increased by 14% after the reforms were implemented. Local rulers and councils were also given more freedom to make individual decisions that didn't necessarily need to be approved by higher officials.  


With his economics degree, Alexis began to significantly modify the tax code. {{wp|Sales tax}} was waived on certain key necessities like water and specific food categories. Though income tax and sales taxes were slightly raised, all tax rates were nationally standardized and collection systems were streamlined with multiple 21st century methods to pay taxes. It is estimated that the tax system and tax collection efficiency increased by 14% after the reforms were implemented. Local rulers and councils were also given more freedom to make individual decisions that didn't necessarily need to be approved by provincial governors.
In 2017, Alexis introduced further improvements to the [[Pauper Housing Program]], renovating some of the more run down complexes and providing increased funding for putting the unemployed to work.

As Despot, Alexis was to be future emperor and his life was always under great public scrutiny.

His years prior to his rule were somewhat wild, When he was 13, he was discovered running through the streets of the Old City naked. When caught by a local police, he was taken before his father who scolded him harshly. This was one of the many "dares" his school friends would give him that he would carry out.

Alexis is the eldest of five children and was born in 1989. He received his education at Gilded Academy for Boys and moved onto Grand University, where he was educated as his father's firstborn. Though unable to finish his education before his coronation, Alexis went back soon after assuming the title of Tsar and completed a masters degree in economics, where he graduated fifth in his class of fifty. He began to function in the station of his office at the age of 22 soon after his graduation where his first major engagement was to commission a new hospital. Alexis married Theodora, Grand Princess of Mesogeia in 2007. His first child, Paul, was born in 2008 almost a year after his wedding.

Alexis has been known as a much more sensible ruler than his father, famously lacking his extremely hot temper and iron fist. Alexis has left the vast majority of domestic policy making in the hands of the Grand Synod of Velikoslavia, stepping in rarely on extremely controversial issues. He has most notably introduced improvements to infrastructure in many poorer areas of Velikoslavia as well as granting greater benefits to those serving in the Grand Velikoslavian Armed Forces. Alexis is a popular monarch with the common man, having applied public money to numerous projects that make life better for commoners.

Early Life and Education

Alexis was born January 12, 1989 during an unseasonably wet year at the Cedar Palace in the Glass Hall in Fjalnir. Nicholas officially announced his son's name on live television across the nation as Alexis, "for he will receive the guidance of the great monarchs of old". Upon his naming, his father publicly proclaimed him as the accepted and rightful heir to the Sapphire Throne of the all Ludic Peoples. Following his birth, the Grand Feast of New Life was held across the nation for five days in a national celebration. Alexis spent the first six weeks of his life with his mother before she turned him over to the care of a governess at the Palace, where he spent the first two years. He was baptized officially into the line of succession at one year of age, per tradition.

Reign

Alexis began to reign at 14 years of age but left many of his initial duties of managing court to Alexander Repnin, who was Prime Minister under the rule of Nicholas II.
