While Calinthia is an Absolute Monarchy, the government allows political representatives of the people to exist. These come in the form of three political parties: ''Kalinthische Republikanische Partei'' (KRP), ''Partito Lealista Monarchico'' (LM) and ''Partito del Movimento Nazionalista'' (MN)''.'' All three support the royal family and the monarchy, but view the way in which the monarchy should exist differently. The Loyalist Monarchy party (LM) support the current form of monarchy which is absolute monarchy. The Nationalist Monarchists Party (MN) supports a more Fascistic form of government headed by a monarch. Finally, the Calinthian Republican Party (KRP) supports a radical form of Constitutional Monarchy in which the monarch has less control over the population. | While Calinthia is an Absolute Monarchy, the government allows political representatives of the people to exist.

The vast majority of the Nationalist Monarchists Party (MN) are Protestants who view the Catholic Church as a hindrance on Calinthia. As per the party's leader [[Gunther Albricht]], "the Catholic Church has held back the Constatine royal family for generations, as unified Calinthians it is important for us to move ahead from the old ways that failed us and to instead embrace national socialism under Protestantism". This view is steadily gaining support since the early 2000s. In 2004, polling was conducted showing party popularity experiencing a 20% increase since 1994. This makes them the second most popular political party right behind the predominantly Catholic Loyalist Monarchy Party by 28%. | |||
The Loyalist Monarchy Party (LM) is the most popular party in Calinthia with 56% of support among the Calinthian populace. Despite being the most prominent party, they have recently been losing popularity to the Protestant Nationalist Monarchists Party (MN) who hold 40% of the support among Calinthians. | |||
The third and by far least popular party in Calinthia is the Calinthian Republican Party (KRP) with only 4% of support from Calinthians. The main supporters of the party are Northern Calinthians who are from regions which were formerly Communist or part of the Anglei-Republic which broke off from the Calinthian government during the Calinthian Civil War. | |||
