=== Rise to Power ===
 
In the first Stefanic year of the Empress Brianna's reign, the political scene was relatively chaotic. Four factions vyed for power over the young, impressionable Empress. There were the Constantists or Zaclites, the monarchists, the Sacroytes and the pacifists. The Constantists were usually aristocrats or wealthyywealthy landowners who supported [[Francis I Vasa-Nassau]], styled ''Constantine II of the State'', to also take control of the Sarovian throne from the Empress. They argued the throne should not belong to someone so young and inexperienced, let alone a woman, since the last "Sarovian" monarch who was a woman was [[Carolus X, John II and Tsubaki the Mad|Tsubaki the Mad]] in Roisa. The second camp were the monarchists, who were staunch supporters of the Crown and put their trust and faith in the Empress. They did not trust the new "Sacrovian" union, seeing the disaster of the old Saro-Oxerian Union, and didn't support the Sacro Emperor. Those who did, however, were known as Sacroytes and would support close Sarovian ties to Emperor Jacob to the point of allowing Lusophone Sarovians to be annexed into Sacro. Lastly, the pacifists saw the disaster of the Auro-Imperian offensive into Sarovia and wanted to achieve peace with them at any cost.
 
Alexander aligned himselves with the monarchists and quickly was allowed back into court by the Empress Brianna, who was seeking new allies in any shape or colour. Alexander quickly found himself back into his natural element and assembled a coalition known as the Monarchist Party of New Sarovia, which he led. The Sarovian parliament (known as the Chamber) at the time was still dissolved by the Empress. Political agitators on all sides of the spectrum had been calling for an actual written Sarovian constitution, with Sacroytes wanting to control the Empress and the Constantists wanted to write the Empress' out of the line of succession. Alexander took it upon himself to write the original Sarovian constitution, which was wildly denounced by all sides other than the monarchists. Pacifist leader Athena, seen as a pushover by the Sacroytes and Constantists, was propped up as a coalition figurehead to reject the Constitution. Alexander convinced the Empress to unilaterally decree the Constitution into existence, which occurred in September 2019 (261 AS). The pacifist-Sacroyte-Constantist coalition ran as a combined party known as the Democratic Party, arguing in bad faith that the Constitution should be written and voted on by the people. Alexander ran for Prime Minister and narrowly won the election with a 50/50 split, but managed to fortunately control the Speaker of the Assembly, which enabled him to ram through legislation.
