' | The justice system in Calinthia revolves around the Führerin as the absolute power in the nation. However, in the absence of the Führerin's order over typically political crimes, the courts determine the punishment. Judges are extremely powerful being able to convict or release individuals due to the passing of the [[Justice Again Act of 1977]] which gives Judges the power to convict based on established case law. However, the Act further states than any such judge which is found to be convicting en-masse without evidence or releasing repeat offenders, will be jailed. Also under the Act, repeat offenders are also given three chances before they are capable of being imprisoned indefinitely. This is only for crimes in which the charge is petty, such as theft or burglary. Crimes in which the charges are felony are first time offense only, such as murder, rape and pedophilia. Felony convictions always carry the punishment of capital punishment, almost always being execution. | ||

Calinthia has a long historical military tradition dating back to the time of [[Emperor Galaecius I]]. The first-born son of every Calinthian family is socially expected to serve for at least several years in the Calinthian Armed Forces. While not a requirement, most feel socially pressured into serving their time, while many more willingly volunteer their time. It's common for a single family to have multiple members serving in the military at any given time.{{Main|Calinthian Military}} | Calinthia has a long historical military tradition dating back to the time of [[Emperor Galaecius I]].
