Yes. The party who has won the most elections, the National Valkïist Part, was very social democratic in its economic and social policies, it was also in a coalition with the more traditional Sukberian Social Democrats and the more left-leaning Sukberian Worker's Party of Labour. Altrough the Valkïist party also espoused militarism and fervent nationalism, so the coalition broke a few times.

Currently the SSD and the SWPL have been merged in the Left Faction of the Valkiïst Party, and the leader of the LF has a seat in parliament.

It was originally founded as a movement to act as democratic and peaceful stepping stone from capitalism to socialism.

Essentially, social democracy aims to take capitalism and heavily reform it to act in the benefit of the nation as a whole instead of for corporate entities.

Is this system prominent in your nation's political system? Are there social democratic parties in your government, and if so do they hold significant power? Is it on the rise in your nation, or does it appear to be losing strength to other political movements?

~~

In Stroulia, social democracy forms the backbone of the country's politics and economics. The head party in charge of the government, the Liberty and Democracy Party, is predominantly social democratic in nature. Most people put their faith in this system and it has served them well over many decades.

Yes, social democracy is a significant force in Jerbasan politics. The third largest political party in Parliament is currently the Social Democratic Party, which is the junior party in the incumbent government with the Liberal Party.

Yes, the political scene of United New England is dominated by social democrats and their close ideological cousins, the democratic socialists. We also have some moderate conservatives and some libertarians. Neither fascists nor communists are prominent in our government.

Not in Rwizikuru, because it has been an absolute monarchy since 1964. There may be some opposition groups (and a government-in-exile) who advocate for social democracy along Euclean lines, but so far, they haven't had a chance to rule Rwizikuru.

The largest party in the --unicameral-- Popular Assembly is the United Worker's Front (UWF). This party has a sizeable social democratic contingent.

Also, the Land Party-The Greens --a coalition partner with the UWF-- hasa a small social democratic faction.

Being a state-capitalist state with significant state planning in the economy, we have many similarities with social democracies but would not classify ourselves as social democratic

The social democratic ideological framework is outright banned and outspoken adherence to said ideology will most assuredly result in the death penalty. Social democracy, among many others, holds the categorisation as a 'corrosive' Libertine assemblage, i.e a political ideology whose implemented effect is directly acidic to the Vyzhvan cultural-spiritual condition, as per decree of the Vyzhvan government.

Social democracy has an important role in shaping Cronica to what it is now. Social reforms, rights movements, have shaped the very legislature of the government. The main voting base of Cronica generally leans to the centre-left during voting season, as it tends to do since independence.

However, there has been a recent pushback against social democracy. The long-ruling Volkspartei, the nation's largest and most prominent social democratic party, has been ousted for the first time in almost a decade, losing its minority government status to the new majority government lead by the DRP (German Reform Party). Volkspartei has slowly been losing its strength for a while, but last election was a clear indicator of the change of heart in the minds of Kronikiers.

Yes, it's the predominant social and political system of the United Republics, in fact the third largest party is called the Social Democratic Party. It's considered the centrist party, sitting right in the middle, ideologically, of the Democratic Socialist party and the neoliberal United Republican party.

No, so-called "social democracy" is nothing more than a reactionary farce invented to placate the oppressed masses with concessions while preserving the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Consequently, it is condemned by the Communist Party of Pahardesh.

Social democracy is the ideology of the Social Democratic of Ceroem, the second largest party in Ceroem and one of the major parties in Ceroemian history. Only four leaders from the SDP and it's predecessors have served as Prime Minister as Ceroem has been historically conservative. Since the early 1980's however, Ceroem's politics have became more progressive, and the SDP government under Kevin Barnes from 1996 to 2004 instituted major reforms and established a solid social democratic movement in the country.
