Since the government upheaval in 2014 that resulted in the abdication of King Montague and the ascension of King Nicholas, the power in the central government is shared by the King and the Dictator For Life.

In July 2011, Calsahara established its first military force, the Royal Corps of Engineers.  The primary duty of the Corps was to defend against seasonal flooding which endangers the southern border of Calsahara.


The two branches of government are:
During the 2010 state visit to [[Kingdom of Vikesland|Vikesland]], members of the Corps of Engineers participated in the Joint Micronational Training Exercise-2010 (JMTEX-10) with the Vikesland Security Force.  In 2011, they constructed the Otisburg Fire Pit, a small ring of rocks quarried from Calsahara.
*The Executive Office
*The Chancellery


The Executive Office is controlled entirely by King Nicholas and the Dictator for Life.  According to Decree of the Realm XII, no instrument of government (including decrees, titles of nobility, and military appointments) is valid unless is bears the official seals of both the King and the Dictator.
Although capable of combat operations, Calsaharan soldiers did not carry firearms. After Calsahara was absorbed as a colony of Westarctica, the Corps of Engineers was dissolved, although the Captain-General of Calsahara reserves the right to marshal troops should they be necessary for national defense.


The Chancellery consists of four individuals who are direct descendants of the original owner of Calsahara's property, Boots Brannon.  They serve in an advisory capacity and have no real power in the government.  They are led by the Grand Chancellor, who is also King Nicholas' mother and the ex-wife of the Dictator For Life.  She serves as a liaison between the Chancellery and the Executive Office, advocating for them when necessary.
