### Currency

Afilian coin

The **Government of the Kingdom of Afilia** (アフィリア王国政府, Afiria Oukoku Seifu) is an institution located in the Afilian capital of Pamos. The Government's jurisdiction reaches all across both Pamos (new Afilia) and Taisha (old Afilia), which makes up the greater Kingdom of Afilia itself.

## Exile

The **Government-in-Exile** (アフィリア王国亡命政府, *Afiria Oukoku Bomei Seifu*) is established sometime after the Kingdom's destruction by the Revenant, initially as little less than potential remnants of the old kingdom's Saga and citizenry who were in the wild all over the world away from their home in Europe. Ironically enough, as the old Kingdom has stayed neutral before its destruction, before the first 10 Akiba Maid Wars, the concurrent government-in-exile has had to take a side by asking the **United Nations** for recognition. Today, Afilia is recognized as a non-Earth state (as it lives in a different dimension than the Earth nations that recognized it as such).

## Leadership Then and Now

The government-in-exile claims continuity from the government of the old **Kingdom of Afilia**, and as such, the King or Queen remains the head of state, although a new head of government role was established, that being the Magister or Magistra, with **Shiika M. Lapeche** as the government-in-exile's first Magistra. Though no political parties were present in the government-in-exile, as the old Kingdom is being retaken, the reinstatement of the government-in-exile as Afilia's new government will mean the establishment of political factions that will have different theories on how to govern the country.

The following Magisters/Magistras of Afilia today include:

* Shiika M. Lapeche (first, Independent)
* Tsunoi C. Mackotash (second, NAF)
* *TBD*

## Political parties

The following parties are allowed in Afilian politics, as the Magistral election occurs every four years:

* New Afilia Front (conservative, statist, Afilian nationalism)
* Movement "For the Rights of All" (liberal democratic)
* All-Afilian Monarchist Unity (self-explanatory, Afilian nationalism)
* Afilian People's Liberation and Resistance Front (Afilian nationalism, ultranationalist)
* Social Democratic Union (social democracy, Democratic Socialism)
* Afilian Workers' Party (communism)
* Afilian Union of National Legions (fascism, Afilian nationalism)
* Afilian Republican Front (republicanism)

## Military

Although Afilia continues to rely on magic as a source of military power, modern firepower is growing to become the government-in-exile's second source of military power alongside magic, with the establishment of the Afilian Royal Guard Corps (informally nicknamed Guardians) as the government-in-exile's main paramilitary wing. Today, the ARGC would be reformed into a civilian police force and royal security detail.

The British Army's Royal Afilian Regiment used to fill that role of a military, except that they are now under British command and must act in a similar doctrine to the Japan Self-Defense Forces, to defend Afilia from potential hostile invasion (which they have the experience to do) or infiltration (in co-ordination with the ARGC). Now the Afilian Royal Armed Forces was established as an independent military for the Kingdom, ready to do the same thing as the British.

## Police

As was mentioned, the ARGC was reformed from a main paramilitary force into a civilian police and executive protection force for the Afilian royal family, though the Corps can be best described as being split into two divisions:

* The Civilian Division, handling the civilian police part (with the ranks and organization being similar to that of police departments across the United States, except the fact that they have full military experience)
* The Household Division, tasked with executive protection for the Afilian royal family (and on several occasions filling the role of honor guards when Afilia's independence day begins)
