Vithinja: Difference between revisions

The largest faction is the '''Syndical Cooperatist''' (''Samvärckenzyndicati'') [Pink seats], usually shortened to The ''Cooperatists''. They are lead by Chancellor [[Magnus Tornssen]], who is famous for being the creator of the Cooperatist movement and helped move Vithinja away from their previous isolationist direction after the [[1983 Vithinjan Nuclear Test]]. Since 2019 he has been the single longest leading chancellor, leading the reds since 2007 continuously while also leading them between 1991 and 1999. He is nearing 40 years since he first achieved a position in the national council at the young age of 28. Among his achievements he has successfully pushed Vithinja from mostly domestic economy to a vibrant export based economy, while also helping improve relations with foreign partners nearly universally. His critics points out that he has continuously promised to cut down Vithinjan military spending for over 25 years with little success, although more significantly he is often a target of both internal and external environmentalists who point out how he is the main reason for Vithinjan environmental policy being by modern standards especially abysmal considering it is a mainly train-based economy. The Cooperatists as a whole hold 67 seats in the national assembly, mainly from the reds and the blues, but has supporters from every collar-union except the blacks. Currently the Cooperatists are alone in controlling more than one of the Chancellor seats, as both blue-chancellor [[Rikart Ragnersson]] and new-chancellor [[Lina Birgittdotr]] are important figures in the faction. Thanks to this near majority in the national council they maintain great executive powers as long as they can convince a single other faction to work with them on whatever issue may be in question. This is helped by most other factions having greater disagreements with each other than they do with the Cooperatists.

Representing the older original Syndicalist ways, the '''Boreal Syndicalists''' (''Noboreazyndicati'') [Red seats] often just called ''Syndicalists'' as many believe they represent the ideals of the ideology. Out of all the factions in the National Assembly they are the most critical of the monarchy in addition to finding entanglement with the global market to be damaging to the rights of the people. They maintain a good 48 seats, although this often holds little power as the only other faction that commonly works with them on policies is the Environmentalists. Today they are lead by green-chancellor [[Sten Vikqvist]], who has been trying to modernize and strengthen the faction in a number of ways. These include shifting their stance from full economic isolationism towards a more moderate total ban on foreign investments or the new stance of tolerance of the Church rather than opposition. In the end their most important shift has been towards more green efforts, creating an ally in the Environmentalists.

The '''Traditional Monarchists''' (''Fholkungaföljerne'') [Dark-blue seats], or ''Conservatives'', is a conservative faction mainly built around the ideals and values of the Church of Rolv. Ever since the [[Cooperatist counter-coup of 1984]] they have been a close ally to the ''Cooperatists''. Although they were once one of the two dominant factions together with the ''Syndicalists'' they now only hold 43 seats. By tradition the black-chancellor have always been lead by the King, who thus always becomes the leader of the conservatives as well, leaving [[Rolv XI Sortvit]] as their leader today. He has been working hard to maintain his alliance with the ''Cooperatists'' and working to ensure their policies would align more often. The conservatives as a whole have mainly focused on preventing the erosion of more traditional values and ideals, very rarely implementing more reactionary changes instead focusing on denying certain kinds of change.

Among the more reason additions to the assembly, the '''National Syndicalists''' (''Naþionelzyndicati'') [Brown seats], often referred to as ''Natsynds'', split off from the ''Syndicalist'' factions in the early 2000's. They mostly hold views that can be roughly placed somewhere in between the ''Syndicalists'', ''Cooperatists'' and ''Conservatives''. One of their most defining features is that they believe that Vithinja is a gothic nation first, with it's more celtic inclinations only to be tolerated, not accepted. Despite their short existence they already hold 42 seat, almost surpassing the old ''Conservatives''. They are currently lead by white-chancellor [[Riordan Mayor]], although his hold of the faction is weak. His attempts to similarly make the group more appealing to a modern audience similar to the ''Syndicalists'' has lead to many in the faction considering him soft. Many suspect that one of the more radical representatives within the assembly will soon replace him, which will likely cause him to lose his place as chancellor.

Despite being one of the oldest factions in the assembly the '''Syndical Environmentalists''' (Zyndicatister fyr Meljöen) [Green seats] have struggled to gain support for most of their existence. Their ideas for bettering the future are hold strong support in many other nations but this is not to their advantage, as there is a common rumor that they were born from and still gain from foreign supports and especially scandalous: foreign investments. Even with all of this against them they hold 21 seats, which is still the height of their popularity. Being lead by pink-chancellor [[Ingrid Fridsdotr]], they have taken on the ideals of the modern progressive movement. Fridsdotr was the first councilor and first chancellor to call herself a feminist, which has made her popular especially among many in the more progressive youth, but has also made her many enemies within the assembly who view her ideas as unpatriotic.

Finally, the '''Liberal Monarchists''' (Frijehits Partiet) [Light-blue seats] who only joined the assembly five years ago hold a decent 8 seats. Many believe that they movement had no chance to ever enter into the assembly, which was true for more than 50 years. But with the efforts of their leader, white-representative [[Aron Watch]] as well as suspected support from the somewhat popular [[Valker Sortvit|Prince Valker Sortvit]]. They currently push ideas that seem to be mainly inspired by a combination of Burgundine and Caeric views on liberalism. Meanwhile, chancellor Watch is most famous for being the first representative to get into a brawl with his own chancellor, Riordan Mayor, over an attempt to pressure white-representatives into supporting the national syndicalists. He attempts to gain support both among his own but also from the ''Environmentalists'', in part by pushing a progressive set of ideas but that are more in line with the common culture within Vithinja.
