Structure
The kingdom has an absolute ruler at the top, for the most part. They are heavily influenced by a religous group that dedicates itself to the ice phoenix. The ruler, once in power, arrages minsters and cabinet memembers to form a council and take on the roles of hearing from the people (normally this is done through lower minsters they aprove of, thus highly insulating both themselves and the current ruler from the commoners). The monarch's rule is law and their will is meant to be carried out. As such they cannot 'break' the law.
This might be changing now that Queen Aislinn has come to power. She has ideas about reforms and freedoms that she has learned from other lands and is in the process of undoing things her grandfather did to the country.

Foreign Relations
Terible with the Lawless Lands who they are still trying to keep protection from, but now with troupes and border checks rather than a force shield wall.
