The Imperial Diet
The United Duchies is ruled by a feudal system of government. In case of the death of the King, a representative, usually the Duke or King of the four high houses of von Braelia, Dracwat, von Kartoffelburg, and von Holtennen send a representative to Braelia to vote on a new High King. While technically the King can come from any noble house, it traditionally remains in the hands of the von Braelia line.

The Diet is also called in case of an insurmountable crisis, a tax on the whole Kingdom or an aggressive war, in which the King is required to hear the suggestions of the Diet.
