It is unclear what princedom [[Akak]] is a part of.
==== The Classical Highprince System ====
During the rule of Sadees, the ten Highprinces had specialized roles in government, controlling certain aspects of the entire kingdom.{{book ref|sa1|18}} This system fell into disuse after the death of Sadees, as Alethkar broke into ten self-governing regions.
This system has seen a resurgence as of late {{rosharan date|1173}}, starting with the election of Torol Sadeas as the Highprince of Information.
===== Known Highprince Positions =====
* '''[[Highprince of Commerce]]:''' This position held authority over all merchants and his troops would patrol the roads across all ten princedoms.{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa2|29}}
* '''[[Highprince of Information]]:''' This position had authority over criminal investigations and policing across the entire kingdom and appointed judges and magistrates.{{book ref|sa1|22}}{{book ref|sa2|29}} Of particular interest to the Highprince of Information were criminal investigations where the Crown's interest was at stake.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
