We introduce k-maximal sub-polygon graphs (k-MSP graphs), the intersection graphs of maximal polygons contained in a polygon with sides parallel to a regular 2k-gon. We prove that all complete graphs are k-MSP graphs for all

. We derive bounds for which j-cycles appear as induced subgraphs of k-MSP graphs. As our main result, we construct examples of graphs which are k-MSP graphs and not j-MSP graphs for all
