The primary political debate around this election was the contents of the Constitution of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia, which was still being written, and how much power the federal government should have.

There were a significant number of other parties and candidates. Some independents were permitted to run, although it depended on the nation's own guidelines— membership of a registered political party was preferred. One independent candidate in Kiavalar won election.

Other parties included the Orderist Coalition which was only on the ballot in overseas votes in Qatesh, the Anchor parties in Empherias, Ahitereira and Koresa which were a far left group who won just over 170,000 votes, the National Party of Koresa, a secessionist party for purely Koresa, which ran barely any candidates and ran outside of the Nationalist group due to its conflicts with the Nationalist Party of Ahitereira and Koresa, who denied a Koresan state. Several other minor parties in Kiavalar that did not align itself with a group at the federal elections also ran to minimal success, such as Ilyn Tygallen, an elven rights group; Anorin Jin, a monarchist party, and Celestial Jin, a party for the Church of Celestine.

The electoral system uses winner takes all first-past-the-post (FPTP) across 530 constituencies. Each nation has 103 constituencies regardless of population (see Kiavalar, who has 12x the population but the same amount of seats as Peryzium), with a further 15 constituencies representing federal territories: 6 for the capital, Esperiy, 2 for the Aether islands, 2 for the Etherevar island, and 5 for overseas voters divided by continent.

Following elections in November, the House of Representatives meet in early January to elect a Premier as the head of government, a motion which requires a simple majority (266 seats) to pass. The Premier will then choose a cabinet, which does not require parliamentary confirmation. The Speaker, who controls the timetables, is chosen by an independent judicial group made up of elite lawyers and court justices to be politically neutral and not elected, he can be impeached by two thirds of the chamber (354 seats), and the President, agreeing to it. The Premier will be subject to the confidence of the House of Representatives, which can be tested by a motion of no confidence. There is no limit to the frequency of motions, but the Speaker could deem such motions in quick succession as unparliamentary procedure and prevent the motion from being tabled.

The House of Representatives will then appoint committee chairs and members. These consist of primarily backbench representatives to debate and scrutinise pieces of legislation. The most important committee is the Standards Committee which handles conduct of representatives, the impeachment of the president and members, procedure of other committees, and the setting of standards.

The number of committees headed by each party is determined by parliamentary makeup. Negotiations between parties and their whips then takes place to assign each committee head to a party, and confirmed by the Speaker, who can also settle disagreements. A chair for each committee is elected at the start of the session via secret ballot, where candidates are nominated with a requirement of at least 10% of representatives from that party endorsing them. Once a chair is elected, the parties are assigned the number of total committee members out of 170 total based on parliamentary makeup (17 committees, 10 members each).

The allocation of these members is up to negotiation between different parties, the Premier, the Speaker, committee chairs, and other clerks. This allocation method allowed all parties with more than 2 seats to gain at least one committee spot; for example, Askavor Jin with two seats was given a sole committee member on the Home Affairs Select Committee, chaired by the Liberal Party of Ahitereira and Koresa. They aimed for major parties to be represented on all committees, with smaller parties using their members on committees they care most about. The main opposition is usually given the Standards Committee to chair to hold the government to account, while the governing party is usually given both the Defence and Foreign Affairs Committees since both the Defence Secretary and Foreign Secretary are appointed by the President, not the Premier.
