The Fatherland Party, known as Parti Patrie in Burgoignesc and Vaterländische Partei in Gothic, is a syncretic political party in Yonderre combining far-leftist economic policies with far-right social values. It is the third smallest party represented in the Yonderian Parliament, holding 11 of the 199 seats. Due to its syncretic nature, the Fatherland Party is generally considered to exist outside traditional bloc politics, instead being labeled as far leftist or far right on a case-by-case basis. The Fatherland Party describes the protection of Yonderian culture and sense of self as its central core tenet.

Formed in 1950 from defectors chiefly from the National Socialist People's Party of Yonderre but also from the Workers' Party, the Fatherland Party stood for election on a basis of ideas that included the nationalization of large companies and other assets vital for national interests, a self-sufficient planned economy, a parliament controlled by trade unions and the appointment of technocrats as ministers. With the entry of Yonderre into the Levantine Union, the Fatherland Party adopted an LU-skeptic stance that helped boost its popularity. More or less direct guild socialism has also at times been a major focus of the Fatherland Party. The Fatherland Party was first represented in the Yonderian Parliament in 1951 with three seats, and at its peak had 19 seats in 1981.

The Fatherland Party has been described variously at times as national socialist, national communist, anti-immigration, radical conservative and anti-progressive. The party opposes feminism, LGBT rights and societal permissiveness, favouring instead traditional gender roles and the nuclear family.
