The politics of Kaltar take place in the framework of a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. The [[Succession to the Morstaybishlian Throne|King of Great Morstaybishlia]], currently [[Lambertus IV]], is the head of state and head of government. The [[Parliament of Great Morstaybishlia]] has the power to make laws for Great Morstaybishlia including Kaltar (in which it is represented by approximately x members of Parliament). Kaltar does not have its own devolved government. The incumbent Prime Minister, [[Franklin Barvata]] originates from and represents a constituency in Kaltar. Following the secession of [[Marislia]] from Great Morstaybishlia, the number of seats allocated to Kaltar in the Parliament were reduced. Despite falling to the east of the Ider River, Aurus, Cavenhelm, and Lambertupol remain part of Kaltar.
