## Overview

The Irish High Kingdom is a confederation of independent nations located on the island of Ireland in the British Isles, the High King is an elective title, selected from the pool of Grand High Chiefs who's domain is at least 3 provinces or a population of at least 100,000. The Chiefs then vote to choose the heir apparent during the life of the King, with the High King's vote counting for 2 votes, votes can be changed at any point; no chief may vote for themself. Upon the death of the King, the most popular heir will assume position as High King and will travel to Tara to be ceremonially coronated, the trek to Tara has a negligible chance of leading to the death of the King; once crowned the High King maintains that position until death, unless violently ousted from control.

The powers of the High King are limited, however when threatened by an external power the High King can call upon the chiefs to form an international defensive alliance against the threat. Additionally if the High King comes to control Tara, has been King for at least 10 years and has average support of at least 60% from the High Chiefs, a Diet of Tara in which the High Chiefs deliberate the formation of a Gaelic Council which will expand upon the powers of the High King, who proposes reforms which are then voted upon by the High Chiefs; however, short term demands do not require the Gaelic Council to be summoned. Eligible High Chiefs may hire experts to trace their ancestry to High Kings of legend, validating their claims to the Kingship.

## Overkingdoms

Within Ireland there are four formable overkingdoms, Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. They consist of a ruling Grand High Chief, and several Chiefs and High Chiefs, for these to be restored Ómós Éileamh must first be passed. All nations within the Overkingdom will become tributaries to the overking who will in turn become a tributary to the High King. If the overkingdoms are restored they will all be restored at the same time, and these Overkings will replace the Grand High Chiefs, and hence only the Overkings can become the High King.
