The Elwynnese Union is a Kingdom currently ruled by an Absolute Monarchy in which a constitutionally mandated democratic system has been put in place, primarily for the Bailiwicks (2nd tier divisions of the State) but also for the lower Assembly of the Royal Parliament, which will serve as a consultative and revising legislative chamber. Within this framework, and in view of its long history of home rule and independence, there exist more political parties in Elwynn than in the rest of the Imperial Republic combined.
