By virtue of the Sovereign's role as Commander in Chief they may also order temporary military action independent of the Primacy. In dire need the High King may also rule by decree, however both independent military action, and High Royal Decrees may be overturned by a 2/3 majority in the Primacy. Though it has never happened, in cases of extreme national emergency the high King may dissolve the Primacy and assume direct rule for a period of no more than six months.

Individual legislators are elected to five year terms by local Primacies throughout the Realm.

The High King of Alnaria is the Commander in Chief of the Royal Military. As such he may order temporary military action by decree, however in order to execute sustained operations the High King must have a simple majority in the Primacy. While the Primarch of Alnaria is ostensibly the highest civilian authority over the Royal Military, the Minister of War and Defense maintains the Armed Forces in conjunction with the Royal Marshal, the holder of the highest military command. The Authority of the Officers of the Royal Military derives from the joint signed commission entrusted to them by the High King and the Primarch. The Authority of Non-Commissioned Officers flows from the Minister of War & Defense.
The Royal Military as it exists today was born directly after the creation of the Primacy. The Royal Army Celebrates its birthday on April 3rd, while the Navy celebrates on April 13th. The Air Force was incorporated as a stand alone branch of service on November 4th, 1955.
Alnaria produced its first nuclear weapon on May 7th, 1961. Following the tumult of the 20th Century Alanrian High Command deemed becoming a nuclear power a necessity for the the security of the Realm, and its continued strength on the world stage. The current nuclear arsenal is maintained jointly by the Royal Navy and Air Force, with Joint Nuclear Command bridging the gap between the two services.

In truth, the history of the Kingdom of Alnaria begins far before the arrival of the Nurlinorians and the raising of the banner of Valarun. In the untold ages of myth the land that would become Alnaria was inhabited by many groups. From the woods of Belithiel, to the deep of Kharzad. From the Plains of Edusled to the Armenalis civilizations rose, civilizations flourished, and civilizations fell. The Nurlinorian voyage from the west signaled a new age in the history of Alnaria. They were to be the land's last arriving inhabitants, but they were to become its greatest. Whatever noble idea, or terrible cataclysm that caused the Nurlinorians to sail to the east has been lost to history, however their coming to shores of Alnaria would begin the creation of great Kingdom, and would write their name in the history of Eras.
