The Suongo Patriot's Party - Aigo Zhe-to

This party is based in pride in one's country, upholding the country's liberal and inclusive traditions, and right/centrist realism. The Patriot's Party is focused on defence of the Suongo people and their freedom and Market Liberalism. Their mission statement is to ensure security and liberty for Suongo, with all else being secondary. They have a distaste for the monarchy, which is the subject of many political debates, but has never actively opposed it. The AZT is the main opposition party to the FST

Their popularity has fallen greatly since the 80s, with 17 seats in the Bunedes-Dag as of 2098.

Pro:
Market Liberalism
Low Government Spending
Free Trade
Privacy Laws

Anti:
Autarky
Globalism
Union Laws
Socialism

The Liberty Finswedeway Party - Friiet Suosverge-to

The more liberal party, the FST advocates for the eventual implementation of a welfare-based market state. Among their goals, they hope to reform the justice system, which is currently extremely corrupt and tied in with politics, as well as advocating European-style social democracy. The party holds 52 seats in the House of Representatives. It belongs in a coalition with the VVT as the senior partner, and as such holds a 2/3s majority within the Bunedes-Dag.

Pro:
Social Democracy
Liberalism
Globalism
Welfare

Anti:
Corruption
Supply-Side economics
Populism
Closed Borders

The Peoples' Liberation Party - Volks Vonind To

Rooted in the left, the VVT places a heavy emphasis on equality and worker's safety. Their primary mission is to have a stable government, in which all are both secure and free. Though this has parallels with the Old Guard's mission, they have many different ideas about how to accomplish these things. Among these ideas, they propose that government nationalize banks and transportation.

Born out of contempt for constant imperialism and pointless wars, as well as a skyrocketing cost of living as a result of these wars, this party has grown significantly in popular in recent months. They hold 24 seats as of 2098

Pro:
Unions
Socialism
Autarky
Internationalism

Anti:
Imperialism
Monarchy
Realpolitik
Nationalism

The Phoenix Front - Eniks-to

The Phoenix Front is a movement formed as a reaction to the nuclear war which nearly destroyed the world in 2094. Promising national salvation, the Phoenix Front is a highly authoritarian movement with some cultural-supremacist pretenses. Their main ideology and doctrine is known as Cultural Nationalism, believing that nations should be united by their culture and language. Cultural Nationalism, referred to as Phoenixism by the Suongo, is highly anti-imperialist, as it, according to them, imposes on a peoples' right to unite with others like them and has caused most of the problems faced by the postmodern world. Despite having socialist and authoritarian policies, the Phoenix Front strongly opposes Communism in most of its forms, as they are the ones responsible for the destruction of the world's ecosystem in the Nuclear War.

The Front is a shadow of its former self after the resignation of its main ringleader, Ping Li. As of 2098, it holds 7 seats.

Pro:
Cultural Nationalism
Environmental Protection
Social Conservativism
Militarism

Anti:
Communism
Imperialism
