Elizia was built on the backs of its working people. For decades the labour movement has aimed to represent Elizian workers from across all walks of life and ensure they get the rights and treatment they deserve, often in the face of great government resistance. After the end of the old regime, the Labour Party was founded to be a political voice for the labour union movement, devoting ourselves to the advancement of social democratic values. We strive to represent all Elizians and to create a freer and more equal society.
