Parliamentary Parties

Party Lineup
1. Arvenian Reform Party (Ideology: Social Liberalism, Democratic Liberalism, Progressivism, Reformism, Environmentalism, Secularism and Third Way) - A social liberal party founded in 1968 by Howard Gantoro (1940-2012), Matthew Gantoro's uncle. It wants to expand civil liberties, regulate the economy, protect the environment, reform the government, promote universal healthcare, help society's most vulnerable and separate religion from politics, as well as bridge the gap between wealth and poverty. Its current leader is Prime Minister George Santoro (born 1982), who succeeded Howard Gantoro after the latter's death in 2012. It was called the Arvenian People's Party from 1968 to 2015, when it was renamed the Arvenian Reform Party following the downfall of the Supreme Crisis Assembly to reflect its support for social, political and economic reforms. It is internally divided between progressive liberals, liberal hawks and classical liberals. Since the 2020 General Election, it is the current ruling party of Arvenia, as well as being subsequently in charge of a coalition government that includes the Civic National Party, the Arvenian People's Democratic Movement, the Arvenian Green Party, the Equal Rights Party and the Scientific Research Party.

2. Arvenian Self-Defense Party (Ideology: Arvenian Nationalism, Economic Nationalism, National Conservatism, Green Conservatism, Paternalistic Conservatism and Non-Interventionism) - A national conservative party founded in 2004 by former Prime Minister James Battlington (born 1958). It wants to preserve Arvenian sovereignty at any cost and maintain less involvement in international affairs, with minor policies ranging from conservative ones to that of economic nationalization. The party also believes in keeping compulsory military service for all Arvenian citizens, defending the environment, assisting homeless veterans and reducing crime. The party became the first to rule Arvenia directly after the fourth civil war alongside with Leonard III and Leonard IV. It was called the Arvenian National Party from 2004 to 2015, when it was renamed to the Arvenian Self-Defense Party following the downfall of the Supreme Crisis Assembly, by which the current name is meant to reflect the party's belief that Arvenia is fully capable of defending itself without foreign aid. In 2020, due to contracting lung cancer, James Battlington retired from politics and handed over the party leadership to Michael Wang (born 1972), a former Air Marshal in the Arvenian Air Force.

3. Arvenian People's Democratic Movement (Ideology: Democratic Socialism, Liberal Socialism, Market Socialism, Eco-Socialism and Anti-Communism) - A democratic socialist party founded in 1946 by Sebastian Castro (1916-1978), who fought against the People's Revolutionary Party in a fourth civil war. The party ruled the country from 1966 to 1978. The party wants to change Arvenia through democratic reform, with individual beliefs ranging from both social and economic equality to participatory democracy and increased state intervention. The party also supports sustainable development, universal healthcare, market socialism and anti-communism. After Sebastian's death in 1978, Aritomo Takashi (1948-2002) took over the party and led it against the PRP during the fourth civil war until his death in 2002. The leader was later Juan Podista (born 1968), who served first as Deputy Prime Minister from 2010 to 2014 and then as acting Prime Minister from 2014 to 2015. Juan was then exiled from Arvenia after the Supreme Crisis Assembly took power through coup. The current leader is Connor Benway (born 1968), a veteran from the fourth civil war. Since the 2020 General Election, the party is currently a junior partner in the ARP-led coalition government, with Connor serving as Labour Minister.

4. People's Revolutionary Party (Ideology: Arvenian Nationalism, Socialist Patriotism, Revolutionary Socialism, Eco-Socialism, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Fascism, Anti-Imperialism, Anti-Globalism, Feminism, Secularism, Economic Nationalism, Left-Wing Nationalism and Left-Wing Populism) - A revolutionary socialist party founded in 1964 by Manny Pescuela (1934-2004), just eight years before it engaged in a civil war with the Arvenian People's Democratic Movement and other parties. The party wants to turn Arvenia into a socialist utopia, as well as nationalize the economy, reduce environmental degradation, abolish state religion, promote women's rights and oppose any kind of globalization. The party also goes way too far on certain policies like deporting religiously fundamentalist immigrants and replacing liberal democracy with socialist democracy. The party ruled Arvenia from 1978 to 2004. The party's current leader is Léon Ferdinand (born 1974).

5. Equal Rights Party (Ideology: Social Democracy, Equality Feminism and Progressivism) - A social democratic party founded as the Arvenian Women’s Party in 1978 by Carmela Pescuela (1940-2012), sister of Manny Pescuela. Starting out as a feminist party, it sought out to advance women's rights, although it doesn't support matriarchy. The current leader of the party is Joanne Holmes (born 1985). Due to the current political climate that is dominating the West, the party reformed to simply support gender equality (including women's rights and men's rights), racial equality, LGBT rights, labour rights and disability rights, thus changing to its current name in 2017. Following this change, the most feminist members of the party left (mainly in disgust at Joanne Holmes and her moderate beliefs), with some forming a new Arvenian Women's Party (that is more radical) and some joining defectors from other left-leaning parties to form the Socialist Unity Party a year later. Since the 2020 General Election, the ERP is a junior partner in the ARP-led coalition government, with Joanne serving as Social Minister.

6. Arvenian Green Party (Ideology: Green Politics) - A green party founded in 1980 by Imamura Hamato (1928-2006). It wants to protect the environment, achieve sustainable development, promote participatory democracy, reduce corporate influence, respect diversity and oppose violence. Matthew Gantoro (1972-2014), who succeeded Imamura in 1996, became the Prime Minister of Arvenia in 2010, making the Arvenian Green Party the second ruling party of Arvenia, although it formed a coalition government with the Arvenian People's Democratic Movement. However, he was killed in 2014 by the Ten Tribes, which sparked a fifth civil war, while Deputy Prime Minister Juan Podista became acting Prime Minister. Its current leader is Misato Sugiragi (born 1980). Since the 2020 General Election, it is a junior partner in the ARP-led coalition government, with Misato serving as Environment Minister.

7. Arvenian Communist Party (Ideology: Communism, Marxism-Leninism, Republicanism, Atheism, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Fascism, Anti-Monarchism, Anti-Imperialism, Anti-Revisionism and Russophilia) - A communist party founded in 2004 by "Colonel Ernie Flanders" (born 1936). It wants to implement communist rule in Arvenia and abolish the monarchy, as well as promote both state atheism and world revolution.

8. Royal Assistance Party (Ideology: Royalism, Moderate Conservatism, Green Conservatism, Paternalistic Conservatism, Anti-Transhumanism, Pro-Megandelanism and Pro-Abortion) - A royalist party founded in 2015 by former Prime Minister John Greatwall (born 1955), the son of Margareth Greatwall (1925-2019). It wants to support the monarchy and regulate the economy, as well as uphold conservative values, encourage social responsibility among rich people, improve working conditions, oppose human enhancement, protect the environment and keep Megandelanism as Arvenia's state religion. Until 2018, it was known as the Royal State Party. From 2016 to 2020, it was the ruling party of Arvenia.

9. Civic National Party (Ideology: Civic Nationalism, Liberal Conservatism, Social Liberalism, Democratic Liberalism, Nature Conservation and Anti-Corruption) - A civic nationalist party founded in 1994 by Tyrone Shakullah (born 1954), a member of the defunct Arvenian Liberal Party. It believes in moderate social progress, regulatory market economics, civic nationhood, honest politics, universal healthcare, fiscal responsibility, nature conservation, poverty reduction, gun control and liberal democracy. It is currently a senior partner in the ARP-led coalition government, with Tyrone serving as Deputy Prime Minister. It is divided between a conservative wing and a liberal wing.

10. Native Rights Party (Ideology: Native Arvenian Civil Rights, Cultural Conservatism, Green Politics, Indigenous Economics, Anti-Racism and Alter-Globalization) - An indigenist party founded in 2004 by Rayung (born 1950), a Native Arvenian community leader from the Mono Province. It seeks to support both Native Arvenians and their cultural values, as well as reduce environmental degradation, promote alternative globalization, improve community development and combat racism. During its formation, the party was joined by members of the defunct Native Arvenian Party.

11. Arvenian Christian Democratic Party (Ideology: Christian Democracy, Social Democracy, Social Conservatism, Religious Conservatism, Green Conservatism, Ableism, Antisemitism, Anti-Megandelanism, Anti-Islamism, Anti-Feminism, Anti-Intellectualism, Anti-Abortion, Anti-Corruption, Anti-LGBT and Russophilia) - A Christian democratic party founded in 1990 by local priest John Luther King (born 1956). It seeks to promote Christian interests in Arvenia, implement conservative policies, eradicate corruption, improve working conditions, protect the environment and regulate the economy, as well as replace Megandelanism with Christianity as the country's state religion. In 2018, John Luther King retired from politics to work as a priest, thus the party's current leader is an evangelical activist named Jody Morrison (born 1984). Due to certain controversial views that Jody was known for, the party has taken a very hostile stance on Islam, Judaism, feminism, secularism, abortion, adultery, prostitution, pornography, rationality, alcohol, furries, gun rights, disability rights, LGBT rights, human enhancement and "unholy vaccination", while also favouring Christian immigrants over non-Christian ones (especially those who are Muslim, Jewish and/or LGBT). As a result of this, members who were very close to JLK and his moderate policies left the party, with some even forming new Christian parties such as the Human Dignity League (which was formed in 2020).

12. Arvenian Value Front (Ideology: Social Conservatism, Fiscal Conservatism, Agrarianism, Protectionism and Right-Wing Populism) - A conservative party formed in 2016 by Earl Gomez (born 1962), Rodrigo Gomez' nephew, as a merger between the Arvenian Conservative Party and the Agricultural Movement. It is exactly an Arvenian version of the US Republican Party that incorporates both agrarianism and populism. It wants to uphold traditional values, promote rural interests, protect gun rights, oppose affirmative action, tax imported goods, minimize government spending, privatize healthcare and control immigration. It is internally divided between national conservatism (far-right) and liberal conservatism (centre-right), although the former is currently the dominant faction in the party since the 2020 General Election, which led to the party being more right-wing on issues regarding immigration and economy.

13. Arvenian Libertarian Party (Ideology: Libertarianism, Classical Liberalism, Cultural Liberalism, Democratic Liberalism, Economic Liberalism, Fiscal Conservatism, Rainbow Capitalism, Laissez-Faire and Non-Interventionism) - A libertarian party formed in 2016 by Arthur Barrow (born 1972), the CEO of a private charity called the ”Arvenian Phoenix Foundation”, alongside politicians from the Arvenian Conservative Party. It seeks to protect civil liberties, minimize government spending, legalize both drugs and prostitution, abolish both the Arvenian Revenue Service (ARS) and the death penalty, promote same-sex marriage, liberalize the economy, avoid international conflicts and oppose any kind of nationalization. The party is primarily divided between neoliberalism (free-trade libertarianism), minarchism (night-watchman libertarianism) and anarcho-capitalism (anti-government libertarianism), while there are smaller groups such as environmentalists (green libertarianism) and centrists (Third Way libertarianism).

14. Socialist Unity Party (Ideology: Big Tent, Democratic Socialism, Revolutionary Socialism, Socialist Feminism, Socialist Liberalism, Eco-Socialism, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Communism, Anti-Fascism, Anti-Racism, Anti-Conservatism, Anti-Militarism, Anti-Nationalism, Anti-Imperialism, Alter-Globalization, Minority Rights and Left-Wing Populism) - A socialist catch-all party formed in 2018 by defectors from the APDM, the PRP, the ARP, the AGP and the old AWP. It seeks to radically change Arvenia by supporting oppressed minorities, abolishing compulsory conscription, achieving world peace, socializing the economy (while being divided between decentralized planning and market socialism), protecting the environment and opposing extremist ideologies. It is the first Arvenian party to be governed by collective leadership and elects a candidate to represent it in general elections, with the recent candidate in the 2020 General Election being Dan Gupta (born 1983).

15. Revolutionary Centre Party (Ideology: Radical Centrism, Moderate Statism, Environmentalism, Populism, Direct Democracy, Youth Politics and Anti-Corruption) - A radical centrist party formed in 2018 by Senator Arnold Schatzmann (born 1960). It wants the government to maintain a balanced budget, protect the environment, provide job opportunities, promote mixed healthcare, assist developing countries, remove politics from the entertainment industry, eradicate corruption, reform education, utilize a market-based solution to social issues, implement need-based affirmative action, give young people more political rights and enable Arvenian citizens to decide on policy initiatives directly.

16. Insular People's Party (Ideology: Regionalism, Populism, Autonomism and Separatism) - A regionalist party formed sometime in the 2000s by the residents of Murray Island. It seeks to represent the general interests of Murray Island, while being divided between autonomy and secession (although the former is more favorable than the latter). Since the 2020 Parliamentary Election, it became a parliamentary party, which also led to Murray Island officially becoming an autonomous one-party state (with the IPP being its ruling party). It is led by Mashton Fletcher (born 1962), who is the first (and current) Governor of Murray Island. It is the only parliamentary party to not have any seat in the Senate, as well as being the only parliamentary party to not participate in general elections (most likely to endorse an independent candidate in the 2024 General Election).

17. Scientific Research Party (Ideology: Technocracy, Environmentalism, Progressivism, Secularism, Transhumanism, Economic Planning, Space Advocacy and Anti-Corruption) - A technocratic party formed in 2020 by renowned scientist Shinji Newton (born 1984). The party wants scientists to rule Arvenia in order to influence social attitudes, utilize economic planning, protect the environment, implement progressive policies, minimize religious influence, support technological advancement (including genetic engineering and artificial intelligence), combat political corruption and promote space exploration. After both the 2020 General Election and the 2020 Parliamentary Election, it became a parliamentary party, as well as a member of the ARP-led coalition government, with Shinji serving as Science Minister.

Social Capitalist Party (Ideology: Neo-Capitalism, Social Liberalism, Cultural Liberalism, Green Liberalism, Economic Democracy, Pragmatism, Reformism and Anti-Corruption) - A neo-capitalist party formed and led by Amanda Benásquez (born 1992), a non-partisan PM candidate in the 2020 General Election. It derives its policies from Amanda's electoral platform, which includes support for social liberalization, affordable housing, basic income, equal opportunity, universal healthcare, proportional taxation, fiscal responsibility, economic democracy, sustainable development, pragmatic diplomacy, education reform, prison reform, electoral reform, anti-corruption, responsible free trade and moderate gun control.
