==Rulers==

The current ruler is '''Queen Trinton Riesa'''. Elected in the Amber year 5269 she replaced '''King Dunas Riesa'''.  A retired king is called an Archon. 

King Duna, now '''Archon Dunas''', relocated to [[Yaj]] and quickly grew young.  He was appointed ''Ambassador to Amber'' in 5271

Kingship not being hereditary means the title Prince does not nessesarily mean a person will be chosen to be elected to the monarchy

House Alsa has had many rulers recognizing male and female rulers and developing an Republican electoral monarchy.  When a elderly monarch gets to a certain point he retires and appoints an  Election Manager to oversee the nominations for a new monarch.  Individuals are nominated and either accept or decline the nomination.  Then each Hamlet, recognizing a certain sub-region, sends an Elector to a conference where the new monarch is chosen.  each ballot of the electors is tallied till a 2/3rd majority is agreed on.  Ballots are ceremonially burned and failed results are announced to Alaga by black smoke and successful ones by white smoke.

Retired Monarchs often return to their farms and pass away but a goodly number of them also choose to go live in the Alagulpa Estates in the [[Yaj]] region of Amber.  Once there they are treated with great respect in Yaj and become members of the social scenes there.  Some then are effected by the [[Aging in Amber]] effect and grow young, either returning to their home hamlets or engaging in other activities including serving in the Alagulpa diplomatic services.
