[LatinKaiser]

Name: The Liberal Party (Die Liberale Partei)
Motto: Peace and Prosperity through Liberty and Progress
Color: Yellow
Leader: Gregor Hausmann
Ideology: The Liberal Party was, for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, a dominant force of the left in Zubrowkan politics, championing such causes as the expansion of voting rights, the promotion of free trade, and the development of industry throughout the country. However, with the First World War, the Great Depression, and the rise of fascism and communism, the Liberal Party experienced the nadir of its political influence. Disbanding under fascist pressure in the 1930s, the Party nonetheless retained a robust leadership that was active in the resistance to the totalitarian regime. After the Second World War and the Soviet occupation, the Liberal Party was re-established, though it had lost its prominent political position and found itself stuck in the centre between nationalist conservatives and revolutionary socialists. Now the Liberal Party is a bit of an oddball in Zubrowkan politics, being the sole strong defender of classical liberalism (advocating little formal regulation of the labour market, privatization of industry, and the defense of civil liberties) and unashamedly promoting alignment with NATO and the American bloc. However, a minority in the party is wary of such radicalism, preferring that Zubrowka remain officially non-aligned and adopt a more ordoliberal economic system, in the German model.

Zubrowkan Democratic Social Union (ZDSU)
"Strength through Unity."​

Color(s): Blue and Red

Leopold Baldemar Haas​

Ideology: Strasserism-Lerschism; populism, anti-capitalism, ultranationalism.

The Zubrowkan Democratic Social Union (ZDSU) traces its beginnings to the foundation of the Free Zubrowkan People's Party (FZPP) in 1933, a group formed by the breakaway of Ernst Lersch and his Strasserist cohorts from the National Zubrowkan People's Party (NZPP).

Although mostly ideologically similar to the NZPP, as a vocal opponent to it Lersch's FZPP kept a low profile during Arthur Henckels' hold over the nation from 1934 to 1945. With the Soviet approach near the end of World War II Lersch and the senior leadership of the FZPP fled to the US occupied zones of Austria, hoping to wait out the occupation.

As luck would have it, the Soviets withdrew in accordance with agreed post-war plans, and Lersch quickly returned to Zubrowka. Looking to capitalize on the uncertainty gripping the nation he remodeled the FZPP, transforming it into the Zubrowkan Democratic Social Union, a party espousing Strasserism but with a human face: any talk of anti-Semitism fell from the party's ideology, and it geared itself largely towards populism, anti-capitalism and ultranationalism.

Initially the ZDSU found little success in the newly-founded Republic of Zubrowka, remaining largely in the political wilderness in the 1950's and 1960's, this largely attributed to Ernst Lersch's controversial ties with the NZPP during its early years in the 1920's and 1930's. Nonetheless he remained in command of the ZDSU until his death in 1971.

It was after Lersch's death that Leopold Baldemar Haas, commonly called 'Leo' Haas, rose to prominence: already an energetic campaigner for the party, Haas was also known to possess quite the personal charm. Although he did not succeed Lersch immediately as Chairman, he was elected Spokesperson and inducted into the ZDSU's National Committee. A year later, with Hans Vogt's resignation owing to a vote of no confidence, largely attributed to the growing youth wing of the party, Leo Haas was overwhelmingly elected Chairman.

As a younger and friendlier face for the ZDSU, Haas has sought to revolutionize the party: moderating it slightly, bringing forward younger faces and preaching a more positive message. Similarly he has largely removed reference to Strasser and Lersch within the party, whilst still directing philosophical credit to them: specifically with the party's official ideology being Strasserism-Lerschism.

The Turanian turul is one of the most important symbols of the Kurultai.​

Name: Magyar National Kurultai (Magyar Nemzeti Kurultáj)
Party Anthem: Attila Induló (Attila March)
Motto: Arise heirs of Arpád!
Color: Dark Green
Leader: Attila Horváth
Ideology: Hungarian ultranationalism, Hungarian irredentism, anti-socialism, Turanism, neo-fascism

Turanism as a political movement rose to preeminence for the first time in post-Trianon Hungary, and from there it also spread across the border. However, in Zubrowka it attracted only minor popularity in Hungarian border towns and university circles, for the political life of the country was strictly dominated by Germans. Initially formed in the aftermath of the Hungarian Revolution, the Kurultáj acted as an anti-socialist movement aiding arriving Hungarian refugees in the border regions. It became a real political movement only in late 1960s, advocating for a Hungarian autonomy, breaking of ties with the Soviet bloc, as well as a general hardline anti-communist pro-NATO stance. The party endorses a liberal market economy despite of its conservative and authoritarian opinion on social policies. It has known links with foreign nationalists and neo-fascists, especially in Turkey and Italy, as well as cadres of Hungarian rightists who have emigrated to a freer society. The party chairman Attilla Horváth is a controversial populist demagogue, who for example calls for a ban on socialist parties and withdrawal of recognition from socialist countries, as well as the expulsion of a 'socialist fifth column' - the Roma. Despite of the small size of the Hungarian community and its fairly limited share of their vote, the Kurultai is very vocal in Zubrowkan politics, and sympathetic to the right-wing German parties.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Name: Socialist Unity Party of Zubrowka
Motto: "Proletarians of all countries, unite!"
Color: Blood Red
Leader: Jobst Trunicht
Ideology: Marxism–Leninism, pro-Soviet Bloc, anti-NATO, Secular, Ethnic Pluralism.

Background: Formed in collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Socialist Unity Party adopted a pro-Moscow orientation very early on. It's history of resistance to the National Zubrowkan People's Party and Hitlerite Fascism gained the Party credibility among the masses; from 1934 to 1945 the Party was banned by the Fascist authorities and current Chairman Jobst Trunicht's father, Sigismund Trunicht, found himself a victim of a police raid. The teenaged Jobst managed to smuggle himself out of the country with a loyal cadre of followers to Moscow where he received the best education the NKVD could provide.

Jobst's return to Zubrowka at the head of a Soviet armored division was supposed to have heralded the beginning of his personal rule over his homeland, as a representative of Stalin but the fates intervened and democracy took root in Zubrowka. Forced to adapt, Jobst used the wartime record of the his faction of the Communist movement in Zubrokwa to merge lesser movements into his own, forming the Socialist Unity Party in 1949. In 1973, Jobst is now middle-aged and bitter about having been denied the opportunity to to manage his very own one-party state. His public facade is that of an academic and labor organizer but privately he detests the "unwashed, immoral loons" who are flocking to the movements of the Left in the recent decade.

The Party goals remain the same, just "dressed up" for 1970s modernity; namely, the establishment of "sober, technocratic government" and a friendly line towards the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Name: Central Alliance
Color: White
Leader: Viktor Torban
Ideology: Radical-Centrism, Market Liberalism, Progress, pro-Neutrality, pro-Globalism

Formed out of politicians far too bland to have any interesting opinions, the Central Alliance prides itself on its Centrist principles. Fervently anti-Socialist and anti-Right Wing, the party is lead by the young heartthrob and ex-commerce banker, Viktor Torban. The party has no particularly favorite ethnicity and calls for an end to racism, homophobia and making decisions.

Seeing as Sealy blatantly redid my Radical Centrists but with a worse flag, I'm instead switching to this:

The Conservative Unionist Party

Quick Information:
Motto: United and Unyielding
Colour: Prussian Blue
Symbol: A tree on fire
Leader: Tormund Mayer
Ideology: Conservative/Right-Centrist




Description:

Established in the wake of anti-socialist and anti-fascist backlash, the Conservative Unionist party prides itself on being the most economy-friendly party within the small nation state. Uniting together the right wing, its support ranges from the fledgling middle class to the ambitious members of the Catholic working class. The party also offers a strongly pro-European and anti-Isolationism stance, to steal the centrist vote from the Eurosceptic Liberals. Eurosceptic attitudes exist on the fringe Libertarian wing of the party’s popular support, but given that the small nation of Zubrowka does not have a strong economy, the Conservative Party argues that it could only gain net benefits from membership.

Quick Stances:

Ethnic Separatism – Should be illegal, but minority rights protected
Economy – Market Liberal
Society – Conservative, against much reform
Fascism – Strongly opposed
Socialism – Strongly opposed
Ex-National Socialists – Need to be investigated for possible crimes
Abortion – Fervently Against
Europe – Fervently in favour for economic benefits
Women's rights – No policy, most members quietly opposed to feminism
Faith – Secular, although relies on traditional Catholic backing
Free Speech – Crucial
Borders – Open to Europe, encourages skilled and semi skilled migration
Monarchy – Opposed, somewhat open to super majority referendum for it
Education – Private public mixture, faith schools allowed with oversight
Military – Pro national service, more funds needed
Energy – Needs moderate subsidies
State Welfare – Allowed with limits

Key Policies: Pro EU, Lower Unemployment via tax incentives, A stronger army

Abelard von Holzknecht
Chairman of Die Volksfront für eine Nationale Wiedergeburt​

The People's Front for a National Rebirth was founded by Abelard von Holzknecht, Freiherr von Vogtsburg-Twistringen im Wumme. Holzknecht was a member of the class of minor nobility in Zubrowka and hailed from a prosperous baronial family. His father was Benedikt von Holzknecht, a prominent member of the Conservative Party's Protestant alignment and a famed pastor in the Reformed Church of Zubrowka. After Abelard's birth in 1906 his father temporarily retired from the political scene in Alsänder to tend to the affairs of his family and his congregation, both of which he felt too absent from. This proved to be a very fortuitous decision. In early 1908 a fierce schism was prompted within the Conservative ruling class over a sectarian anti-Protestant bill proposed in the Königliche Versammlung; as the party's Catholic majority faced off against the Protestant wing over the issue of withdrawing state subsidies from Protestant schools. The controversial author of the bill, firebrand populist Dietmar Falkenrath, claimed that schools run by the Reformed Church did not meet some flimsy pretext of 'educational standards'; and despite the vehement protests from Reformed members of the Conservative Party the Conservative whip attempted for a universal ja vote across sectarian lines.

Of course, this failed miserably. The Reformed MVs revolted en masse and voted against Falkenrath's bill, which subsequently failed by a thin margin. At the time the Conservative chair and Prime Minister of Zubrowka was Corbinian Faust, Herzog von Bad Johanngeorgenstadt and personal confidant of the ailing Rudolf IV. Faust recognised that such a serious defection could destroy his government majority and trigger elections and so desperately attempted to hold his fractured party together. The formation of the Allianz von Wohlstand und Fortschritt (Alliance of Prosperity and Progress) by the rebel Conservative MVs put a stake in that, however. As the AWF defected from the ruling coalition Prime Minister Faust was forced to make a request that the Versammlung be dissolved, which Prince Rudolf promptly granted. Although it was hoped that the substantial number of Reformed Christians in the country could swing the election for the AWF such hopes were dashed as the Conservatives announced yet another coalition victory... with the Nationale Partei für Einheit.

The NPE was Falkenrath's pet project but her roots extended back to the very birth of Zubrowka. Otto von Bismark's Kulturkampf ended only very shortly before Zubrowka gained her independence, and severely anti-Protestant sentiment (inherited, as it were, from the Austrians) still existed in the country upon her foundation. Such sentiments coalesced around Klaus von Falkenrath. von Falkenrath was a descendant of a nameless brute who had proved himself under the Austrian colours in Napoleon's day and had subsequently been created Freiherr von Katzenelnbogen-Engelstaub im Ludwigslust for his troubles; and Klaus had evidently inherited the more unsavoury traits of his forebears. Seizing upon fresh prejudices and slicing open old wounds he managed to woo several noble backers much richer than he and with them formed the 'Wolfratshausenstadt Club' -- an informal association of aristocrats derided as 'katholischer als der Papst' by more liberal minds. The Wolfratshausenstadt Club exerted significant influence in Alsänder for many of Zubrowka's formative years, but gradually declined in influence as the calendar marched on and those who remembered hearing firsthand accounts of the Kulturkampf began to dwindle. By the time Klaus von Falkenrath passed away of a heart attack (and had been stripped of his title in the meantime after allegations of raping a serving girl got too serious for the Palace to ignore) the Club was a shadow of its former strength. Dietmar Falkenrath would set out to change that.

Dietmar resolutely took hold of the Club and transformed it into something entirely new. Shedding both the pompous faux-informality and the aristocratic airs which had characterised it Dietmar Falkenrath plunged the Wolfratshausenstadt Club into the crucible of populism. The result was the Nationale Partei für Einheit. Assisted by Falkenrath's natural skill at oratory the NPE quickly gained ground as the party of the common Catholic man and espoused increasingly radical anti-Protestant (and Orthodox, for that matter) policies along with other populist fetishes in order to whip up the masses. As a result Falkenrath and his party rapidly saw success, albeit mild success, in the Versammlung and consistently gained or retained seats. Conservative dominance continued unabated however and the NPE was successively shunned from coalitions... until 1908. With the explosion of the Conservatives due to Falkenrath's bill Faust was desperate for his party to retain a seat in government and was forced, out of necessity, to coalition with the NPE. Through skillful maneuvering on Falkenrath's part he was able to ensure that it was him, and not Faust, that kissed hands after the snap election -- although Faust was later compensated with the Interior Ministry. The Falkenrath government would be a seminal period in Zubrowkan history as he and the NPE (acting under the Conservative name) aggressively pursued a slew of pro-Catholic policies which eventually forced most non-Catholics from the country.

Benedikt von Holzknecht was luckier than most of his Reformed brethren in Christ. Having abdicated his political responsibilities before the Conservative fracture, and therefore having no affiliation whatsoever with the AWF, von Holzknecht was still able to lean on his old friends and contacts in the capital. Burdensome regulations and other archaic relics forced on the non-Catholic population seemed to mysteriously pass by him and his ministry and congregants without any notice of them. And so he and his family rode out the storm until the turbulent collapse of Falkenrath's ministry; which was occasioned by his forced dismissal by the Prince after he refused to condemn an attack on an Orthodox family committed by members of his party. The NPE was disbanded soon after and the milquetoast Traugott Gutermuth, of the Liberal Party, was appointed to head a caretaker government in 1913. Sadly Gutermuth steered the ship of state directly into the First World War, which was a disastrous loss for the entire nation. In retrospect the fact that, in electing Arthur Henckels, the Zubrowkan people did not learn from the mistakes of Falkenrath seems damning. The scale of the wound inflicted on the national psyche after the Great War cannot be over-exaggerated. Benedikt von Holzknecht (who by this point was practically ancient, but had insisted on purchasing an officer's commission) died in 1940 on the field of battle as a reluctant National Populist but a fierce patriot. By then his son, Abelard, was himself serving as a soldier when he inherited his father's title of Freiherr von Vogtsburg-Twistringen im Wumme.

The years following the defeat of the Axis were lean and hungry ones. Zubrowka suffered mightily under the Soviet boot and her former Royal Family escaped the firing squad only after having fled to safer and more Italian climes. In accordance with the harsh Soviet idea of justice many former 'collaborators' real or imagined were put to death before the Russians were forced by international consensus to withdraw. Abelard had survived the Soviet occupation mostly by hiding; he and his mother subsisting in the tiny hamlet of Zerbst im der Neckarbischofsheim until the Soviet withdrawal. After making sure his aged mother was provided for Abelard struck out for Alsänder. Referring back to the passionately loyal temperament of his father and believing that it was only the monarchy which "could, despite their sins, bind together our wounds" Abelard founded the People's Front for National Rebirth. The VNW has carried the banner of centrist conservatism since her foundation and frequently caucuses with the Große Alter Partei in legislative elections. Focused on what Abelard describes as "compassionate conservatism" the VNW promotes religious/ethnic pluralism and 'clean' civic patriotism. The Volksfront's public policy has been retooled due to the snap elections and focuses on several key aspects:

• Restoration of the monarchy as the "first step toward national reconciliation" is the foremost aim of the party
• Tending towards the prototypical capitalist right, the party has strong support for the free market but with essential utilities managed by the state
• In regards to the Cold War the party believes that Zubrowka must ally with the West and take part in maintaining the new international order
• In deference to their pro-capitalist backers the party supports low taxes and tariffs to stimulate the economy and assist business interests
• In seeming contradiction to the capitalist line the VNW also is strongly supportive of unions and the rights of the worker and has advocated in favour of expansive protections for Zubrowka's working class in order to encourage "familial cooperation across all society"
• Remembering the legacy of Abelard's father, socially it is the stance of the party that "the government is not in the business of legislating morality". Religious freedom is an important part of the VNW's identity and the Front believes that all religion should be supported by the state in order to strengthen the fabric of the nation
• Wary of the return of authoritarianism to Zubrowka the party is heavily in favour of maintaining civil liberties and seeks only to restrict "behaviour which is unanimously offensive to the national character". What exactly that means in practice remains to be seen
• Leftism in all its forms is derided

Abelard hopes to strengthen the VNW's position in the upcoming elections, but has yet to enter into negotiations to build an electoral coalition.
