The '''Republican Party (RP)''' is a minor political party advocating the abolition of Eldid's constitutional monarchy and its replacement with a republic.

The party was founded in the '''second half of the 20th century''', emerging as a small movement opposed to the continued existence of the monarchy. Over time, its platform expanded beyond republicanism to include stronger executive government, restrictive immigration policies and a more nationally oriented foreign policy.

The Republican Party supports the creation of a '''republic with a comparatively strong executive''', favouring greater concentration of political authority in the national government. Its proposals have included changes to the constitutional balance between Parliament and the executive branch.

The party is also distinguished from the three major national parties by its position on immigration. While the CP, PRL and LA regard immigration as an important contributor to Eldid's development, the Republican Party advocates '''tighter immigration laws, stronger border controls and more restrictive admission policies'''.

In foreign affairs, the party supports a reduction in Eldid's participation in international organizations and favours a more '''independent and nationally oriented foreign policy'''. Its platform therefore combines republicanism, political centralization, immigration restriction and a degree of international disengagement.

The Republican Party has remained a '''minor political force''' and has not displaced the major parties as a significant parliamentary competitor.
