The Trúathi Party (West Crylantian: "Truatica Partita", East Crylantian: "Trúathi Folkeparti") is a Trúathi humanist political party within the Crylantian Federation. It is one of the nation's four major parties, as well as the Reform Party, the Socialist Party and the Farmers' Party

The party was founded in 1917 by a group of individuals from the mountain state of Nixoperuit who formed a socialist-influenced political philosophy on how to govern the Principality based on the values of the Trúathi religion. The party gained traction, and it ended up being the second-largest party in the principality throughout most of it's existence, occasionally entering a government in coalition with either the Reform Party or the Farmers' Party. Upon the Socialist Party's rise to prominence it tried to work with them but the coalition fell through when the Farmers' Party withdrew support. Upon the drafting of the 1941 Constitution it entered a perpetual coalition with the three parties.

Today the party runs on the principles of Trúathi humanism, advocating a compassionate society where everyone cares for each other and strives to make the world a better place, influencing the party's calls for a strong welfare state, so that a society does not forget the vulnerable, which they consider a moral sin. They believe strongly in the concept of stewardship, leading the party to adopt a strongly environmentalist and pacifist tone. The party draws off of traditional Trúathi views when it comes to abortion and euthanasia, and therefore takes a pro-life stance, though it does accept that an abortion is sometimes necessary. However, unlike most religious parties, the party is strongly supportive of LGBT rights, having been among the most vocal supporters of the Third Amendment in the 1980's, due to the fact that unlike in other religions homosexuality has never been an issue within Trúathi philosophy.

The party is the fourth-largest in both the People's Assembly and the States' Assembly, holding 25 seats in the former and 8 seats in the latter. It has one seat in the National Council, currently Jenný Anadottir, the party's leader and Director for Foreign Affairs and Trade.
