The national language is Germanic (according to Hippo's map). I should get Hippo to share the language with me so I can translate our name into Aurentian. We'd have the most patriotic party page!!!

Think about it...
Also what are your economic policies, I saw "Third way" so are they similar to ours (Corporatism) or are they more favorable to laissez faire Capitalism(like i implied)?

There's very little that justifies the title "conservative".

"Liberal-Democrat Status quo party"? Not really, that doesn't make sense. Progressive is an adjective in our name.The Progressive-Conservative Party believes that a market economy is the only way to create wealth, sustainable jobs, innovation and economic growth, and is also the best way to preserve the right of an individual to an individually directed lifestyle.
The party accepts that privatising public services is not always the most efficient course of action, but in the private sector actively seeks to partner with businesses and job creators and to create the best conditions for investors and business owners, as well as taking an active stand in promoting entrepreneurs.
The party believes that while free trade is an excellent long-term goal that gives the benefits of more markets for exporters, and while an open market can help bring new jobs to a local area, free trade needs to be treated with caution as it could negatively impact local industries in the short and medium term.
The Progressive-Conservative Party believes that while trade unions are admirable in their goals of securing better working and living conditions, and that people ought to continue to strive for such things, trade unions need to be kept in check to ensure they don't cause inflation to rise, or price their workers out of the market, or shut down key sectors of the economy for unrealistic demands.
The party believes that immigration needs to be restricted only to those who are educated, and coming to fill a gap in the market where there is too much demand, or they should be coming to create jobs.
The Progressive-Conservative Party believes that full employment is something that should be sought.

But, we also favor universal healthcare, social security, etc. You should read the platform if you want more info.

There's nothing progressive about your party, you're simply liberals and economic moderates.

But your party is clearly to the far-left of all historical progressive conservatives of whom I can think. Take Benjamin Disraeli for example. Do you really feel that your party, with its extreme social liberalism, in any way matches his beliefs and ideas?

That's funny, I just recommend three of his videos in the Headquarters a few days back.
I don't agree with everything in his videos but he does make many quality points.
Seems a bit too Nietzchen for my tastes though (the channel owner).

Of course, but there is no comparable party and the Prog-Con stance on a regulated economy allows me to pass Acts with a Distributist philosophy.

Ah, yeah, the channel owner is a bit Nietzschean, but then so was Spengler himself.
I've talked to EmpiricalMethod, the channel owner, a few times though and he does have some views that differ from the man his channel is currently named after, such as on things like hereditarianism, and he does have some more straightforward political and less philosophical videos in his early upload history, but by and large he agrees with Spengler's views and is propagating them in a really aesthetically pleasing way via his channel.
I'm actually considering making a channel with videos similar to his style but for videos about Julius Evola, René Guénon, and others of a radical traditionalist persuasion. I'll probably throw in some G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc too but those might be more fitting for a second channel. I'll let you know when I do if you're interested.

Did you know about the Reform Party? They aren't official yet due to not having enough members but they're working on it and could certainly use people like yourself. A party like that will finally be able to bridge the massive gap that lies between the Progressive Conservatives and the Classical Monarchists.
As a High Tory, I'm sure I can find a lot in common with you, especially a fellow distributist, even if your One Nation ideology did hijack our historical party IRL~.
