The title was switched to the non-ethnic Monarchy of Alsland following the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] to move away from prior Dello-Martocentrism.


The current monarch is King [[Alof VI of Alsland|Alof VI]], who has reigned since 4 August 2012 when his father, King [[Sotirian II of Alsland|Sotirian II]] died at the age of 87. The heir apparent is crown prince [[Heiko, Crown Prince of Alsland|Heiko]]. The crown undertakes mainly ceremonial roles, usually limited to public roles although the monarch may be tasked with meeting foreign dignitaries on state visits. The ceremonial roles of the crown may also be supported by junior members of the royal family such as the Consort to the monarch, the crown prince or other less senior titles. Since the establishment of the Monarchy of Delland and Martiland, the royal family of Alsland has been X which is additionally headed by Alof VI.
The current monarch is King [[Alof VI of Alsland|Alof VI]], who has reigned since 22 September 1991 following the regency of [[Prince Alexander of Martiland|Alexander]] who reigned in place of Alof following the [[Death of Silvia of Alsland|death of Queen Silvia]] in 1984. The heir apparent is crown prince [[Heiko, Crown Prince of Alsland|Heiko]].

Whilst the King remains the head of state of Alsland, in reality his position as set out by the constitution is extremally ceremonial and most decisions carried out in his name are done through the State Council (''Steatried, Riiginõukogu'') which is composed of sernior members of the elected government and other members chosen by the [[Folkssenaat]]. For example, whilst the constitution states that the King appoints the government, in reality the Folkssenaat approves the government and the King is required by law to follow the Folkssenaat's actions regarding government formations and dissolutions. The King may only dissolve the Folkssenaat, or any sub-national elected body on the competent advice of that elected body's leadership. In reality, most powers the monarch can exercise may only happen during a time of crisis or national emergency and are as a result highly important within the national security response apparatus.

The Alslandic monarch has two official residences, the working public residence of the [[Liberijshûs]] in [[Yndyk]] as well as the private residence of the Monarch and his family at the [[Royal Palace of Lanwjuk]]. The monarchy also owns several other castles in Alsland which are used for a range of reasons such as museums and are able to be toured by the public. The monarchy is supported by a small fixed state grant delivered annually which is also taxed. All income the monarchy makes annually legally belongs to the state, although any private income the royals make does not belong to the state and as a result many members of the royal family have full-time jobs alongside their positions as royals.

Prior to 2012 the Alslandic Royal Family did not allow women to inherit the throne. The rule was changed to allow all children to inherit based off {{wpl|Primogeniture|primogeniture}} after a public campaign, although as the rule was not applied retroactively, Princess [[Sophie, Princess of Alsland|Sophie]], who would technically be the heir apparent under the new rule as King Alof's eldest issue, is instead the second in line to the throne behind her younger brother.
The monarchy remains the most popular institution in Alsland, with polls predicting support fluctuating between 79% to 92% although the personal approval rating of King Alof VI was lower in a 2022 poll, sitting at 75% which was the lowest personal approval rating of any Alslandic monarch polled.

WebsiteThe Alslandic Monarchy

The Monarchy of Alsland is a constitutional, hereditary position within a parliamentary system whose role is governed and sanctioned by the Constitution of Alsland. The Alslandic Monarchy was originally formed as the Monarchy of Delland and Martiland in 1722 as an autonomous monarchy within the Valduvian Empire. The title was switched to the non-ethnic Monarchy of Alsland following the Great War to move away from prior Dello-Martocentrism.

The current monarch is King Alof VI, who has reigned since 22 September 1991 following the regency of Alexander who reigned in place of Alof following the death of Queen Silvia in 1984. The heir apparent is crown prince Heiko. The crown undertakes mainly ceremonial roles, usually limited to public roles although the monarch may be tasked with meeting foreign dignitaries on state visits. The ceremonial roles of the crown may also be supported by junior members of the royal family such as the Consort to the monarch, the crown prince or other less senior titles. Since the establishment of the Monarchy of Delland and Martiland, the royal family of Alsland has been X which is additionally headed by Alof VI.

Whilst the King remains the head of state of Alsland, in reality his position as set out by the constitution is extremally ceremonial and most decisions carried out in his name are done through the State Council (Steatried, Riiginõukogu) which is composed of senior members of the elected government and other members chosen by the Folkssenaat. For example, whilst the constitution states that the King appoints the government, in reality the Folkssenaat approves the government and the King is required by law to follow the Folkssenaat's actions regarding government formations and dissolutions. The King may only dissolve the Folkssenaat, or any sub-national elected body on the competent advice of that elected body's leadership. In reality, most powers the monarch can exercise may only happen during a time of crisis or national emergency and are as a result highly important within the national security response apparatus.

The Alslandic monarch has two official residences, the working public residence of the Liberijshûs in Yndyk as well as the private residence of the Monarch and his family at the Royal Palace of Lanwjuk. The monarchy also owns several other castles in Alsland which are used for a range of reasons such as museums and are able to be toured by the public.

All income the monarchy makes annually legally belongs to the state, although any private income the royals make does not belong to the state and as a result many members of the royal family have full-time jobs alongside their positions as royals.
