First political parties in your nation?

Postby Neragua » Thu Jun 19, 2014 12:10 pm

What were the first political parties or factions in your nation?

In Neragua, the first political parties were considered the Federalistas (Federalists) and Unionistas (Unionists). Both parties supported independence from Spain but differed on structure of the state being a federal or unitary republic.

The Federalist Party is still the mainstream centre-right party in Neragua, though the Unionist Party eventually faded into obscurity.

Os Kunigastas was the only political faction until 1903, when the Iron Ring was formed and the Absolute Monarchy's political unity fractures. Os Kunigastas means "Supporters of the Royals", in this case referring to the Transoxthraxian Monarchy from 1826 until 1903. After the ascension of the (then) young Felicia I, a regency known as the Iron Ring formed, which was then constantly contested between prominent members of the ring, the regency often dividing itself into a number of factions led by aristocrats or generals.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

The Saurist Republican Party, a center-right party that advocated fusing Saurist values with the tenets of Republicanism, founded in 1836 and was dissolved in 1885 like with the rest of the parties that existed under the failed Democratic Republic when the Dinosaurs First Party gained sole power over the government.

Postby Avaerilon » Thu Jun 19, 2014 3:11 pm

Avaerilon's first formal political party was Y Cyndelfīnlen Libreddelīon, or the Alliance of Liberals (usually simply referred to as the Liberals). Prior to the Liberals’ existence, a number of different political groups were active in Avaerilon’s House of Commons (the Lords generally being a place where the various nobles, judges and other such people met and debated, and modern-day party politics was non-existent) which bear some resemblance to the modern party. The most obvious group was the Royalists, sometimes called Cavaliers; these were noblemen and women who were incredibly loyal to the crown, who believed that it was the duty of the privileged to provide their charges with care, shelter and the suchlike to ensure every man, woman and child would eventually be able to support themselves and make their own way in the world. They were also bitterly opposed to republicanism, seeing it as a threat to the great freedoms guaranteed by the crown, and also the very identity of their country. These well-dressed gentlemen and ladies often owned not-insignificant estates and houses many people, as well as provided work for the in farming, craft occupations and the suchlike. They also ran schools, colleges and other places of education. Alongside this large group were a number of others; Radicals (who envisaged greater liberty and a governmental form of social security and services), Scrollers (academics and enlightened persons who believed in the power of a solid education for all), and Romantics (creative men and women such as writers and poets who sought to create a free atmosphere in which people were able to pursue their dreams).

It was inevitable that these groups would band-together and form coalitions, and this was often the case. But by 1818, it was felt that, given the changes in political feeling and the more active and interested populations, small parties were not necessarily going to prosper for long. At a meeting between these four groups, it was agreed that they would merge together and create a formal political party; the first true one in Avaerilon’s history. They called themselves ‘Liberals,’ as they aspired to liberty, and the party was born. Support came from academics and intellectuals, mages (for mages were often ardent royalists and were encouraged by a very pro-arcane message the party gave), radical philosophers, skilled craftsmen, royalists and, crucially, a great number of farmers. This numerous and powerful latter group held a lot of public sway in this largely rural kingdom, and the fact that they threw their weight behind this on party was no doubt crucial in the election success of 1825, which saw a 3-term government comprised totally of Liberals.

Postby The Pansapient Federacy » Thu Jun 19, 2014 3:23 pm

The Bioconservative (Greens), Biomoderate (Blues) and Bioprogressive (Reds) parties were the first three political parties of the Federacy. They all had the same general economic and social philosophies, largely differing when it came to scientific issues. The Biomoderates were the largest, with the Bioconservatives a close but very hostile second place. The Bioprogressives were large enough to be a major political faction, but too small to challenge either of the other two. They mostly aligned with the Biomoderates, though they were more extreme and tended to lives in the outskirts of society.

The differences between the Greens and the other two were extreme and likely unresolvable, the result of entirely different worldviews, and so instead of remaining in a political system where the two would be eternally hostile to each other the Federacy was split in half. The Federacy itself would be composed of those worlds favoring the Blue-Red alliance, with the Blues primarily inhabiting the central regions and the Reds preferring the border regions. The Greens meanwhile would found the New Terran Republic, originally consisting of the 20 worlds (roughly 40% of the entire Federacy's population but 80% of its planets) supporting Bioconservatism.

Nowadays, the three still exist in some form. The pure humans of the NTR are the ideological and literal descendants of the Greens, while the Transhumans of the Federacy are the result of the Blues' careful augmentation policy and strict regulation having produce many different augmentations that would change the body but preserve the humanity. The Posthumans, by this point having largely created their own shadow society within the greater Federacy, are the ultimate evolution of the Reds' Bioprogressivism as well as (due to immortality) the most likely to include members who were actually alive during the Green-Blue-Red period.

The color nicknames of the three factions were not randomly chosen, they were the result of certain human ideological movements favoring certain scientific philosophies.
The Greens were known as such due to the Bioconservative movement having significant influence from the Light and Dark Green segments of Environmentalism, the Bright Green segment having been largely embraced by all three factions and so no longer viewed as a truly distinct entity.
The Blues were known as such due to the location of most of their facilities being in the ocean in the form of Seasteads, as well as the notable tendency of Biomoderate supporter companies towards using the color in their corporate symbol.
The Reds were known as such due to moderate-to-significant Marxist and Anarchist tendencies amongst the Bioprogressive movement. Later the Anarchist tendencies would be the more common, but at the start the Marxists were still the more influential of the two.


Nowadays all three have split.

The Greens are now divided into the following New Terran Republic parties:
The Secure Party: Supports the continued expansion of public surveillance technology, the establishment of a single public directory of citizens (rather the current separate directories of each individual government branch), and the strengthening of ties between the New Terran Republic and the Pansapient Federacy.
The Free Party: Supports the weakening and possible removal of public surveillance, the dissolution of many citizen directories, and increased isolation of the Republic from the Federacy.

The Blues are now divided into the following Pansapient Federacy parties:
The Inquiring Party: Supports massive increase in foreign relations, the integration of alien polities into the Federacy as autonomous vassal states, and greater support of explorer-miner companies.
The Liberating Party: Supports moderate increase in foreign relations, the cultural assimilation of any compatible alien polities and the vassalization of the rest, and the militarization of explorer-miner companies.
The Defending Party: Supports current level of foreign relations (that is, next to none), the avoidance of alien polities, and extreme restriction of explorer-miner companies.

The Reds have way too many factions to include but they usually fall somewhere into or between these two groups:
The Private: Wish to create independent communities with a focus on extreme individualism and mutual respect for privacy.
The Caring: Wish to create independent communities with a focus on extreme collectivism and mutual aid and care.

The first parties were the Patriot and Whig parties. The Patriots were the party of small farmers and urban workers and thus generally supported a policy of expansionism and low tariffs while the Whigs were the party of the elites and supported high tariffs and mercantilist economic policy.

The Alos'teqiin Freedom Front (AFF), a militant rebel group, was formed in 1823 during Fem'teqiin occupation. The Alos'teqiin Pacifist Party (APP) was formed in 1856 in response to the AFF's violent displays to show that peace could accomplish independence just as well as violence. The APP is still alive today, and remains the oldest Alos'teqiin political party, though it is losing popularity due to the violent protests it has been staging.

It rose to power in the Soledan Revolution and became was the only legal party from 1871 to Mikael Lekkerys made the United Socialist Workers Party the new state party and made the creation of ''Comrade Parties'' legal. It was not until 2005, however, that truly Independent parties could form.
