The National Alliance for the Restoration of the Monarchy (Amathian: Ⰰⰾⰹⰰⱀⱅⰰ Ⱀⰰⱅⰹⱁⱀⰰⰾⰰ ⱂⰵⱀⱅⱃⱆ Ⱃⰵⱄⱅⰰⱆⱃⰰⱃⰵⰰ Ⰿⱁⱀⰰⱃⱌⱍⰹⰵⰹ, tr. Alianţa Naţională pentru Restaurarea Monarhiei), abbreviated as the A.N.R.M. (Ⰰ.Ⱀ.Ⱃ.Ⰿ.) is an Amathian political party that advocates for the restoration of the Amathian constitutional monarchy through a national referendum on the issue. Initially founded as a party in exile of Amathian monarchists in Spálgleann in 1958, the ANRM was officially registered as a political party in the Amathian Democratic Republic in 1981, when the organization in exile that it was a part of split between the minority wing of those who refused to recognize the legitimacy of this new republic, and those who acknowledged it and wanted to continue the struggle for the monarchy in a democratic, reformist way.
The cause of monarchism in Amathia had been greatly damaged by the decades of Equalist propaganda, and the idea of monarchism remained at the edges of the Amathian political scene for more than a decade. The last King of Amathia remained a popular figure, but he retained a neutral role - neither supporting nor rebuking the various monarchist movements in the country, repeatedly stating that a return of the monarchy could only be achieved if the people of Amathia desire it. The diplomatic services of both the Royal House and various monarchist organizations abroad, which tried to support Amathia's bid to enter the Euclean Community, finally started to help their cause, and the ANRM firstly managed to enter the Senate of Amathia in 1992, winning its first seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
The continuous instability of the republic, and the rising popular dissatisfaction with it have provided the ANRM with a slow but certain increase in its appeal, but the Alliance as a whole has been struggling to cement its identity, and its political ideology beyond monarchism.
