Overview The '''Arcerion Parachute Regiment''' (APR), commonly known as the '''Paras''', is a Regular Force airborne infantry regiment of the Arcer Army, headquartered at the Novasar Barracks, located at the Presdale Garrison in the Arcer Heartland, Northern Northlea Governorate. Its current commanding officer is Lieutenant-Colonel Timothy MacAile, and the Regimental Sergeant-Major is WO1 Paul Truss. The Arcerion Parachute Regiment is part of the Arcer Army's 11 Parachute Brigade.


The '''Workers' Party''', known as ''Parti Travailleuer'' in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and ''Partei der Arbeiter'' in [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] is a {{wpl|communist}} {{wpl|political party}} in [[Yonderre]]. The party was founded in 1918 by members from the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democrats]], breaking away to pursue a more hardline form of socialism. Formed chiefly by workers in [[Toubourg]], the party grew steadily in popularity, being first represented in [[Yonderian Parliament]] in 1928. The party grew in strength throughout the [[Second Great War]] years until peaking in the 1960s. Unpopular leadership and radical changes to party line led to a steady decline in popularity through the 1970s and 80s until a faction broke off and formed the [[Red-Greens (Yonderre)|Red-Greens]] in 1985, taking with them more than a third of the WP's members.
The Parachute Regiment was formed in the Interwar Period with the identified need to stand up a parachute capability for the Army, following a White Paper by the Arcer General Staff on the future of elite infantry formations. At its largest, it had a dozen battalions during the Second Great War, and formed the core of the 1st Airborne Division. The Regiment has taken part in every major Arcer conflict since its inception, from its key role in Operation Lightfoot, to the Final War of the Deluge against Varshan.  


The Workers' Party bases their politics around ''{{wpl|Stalinism|Stahlism}}'', from the Gothic ''Stahl'' meaning "steel". It runs for the [[Yonderian Parliament]] on promises of equality, wide-scale nationalisation of businesses and services and the building of communist society with the state as the only tool. Initially preaching violent revolution and the abolishment of the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] and the [[Catholic Church]] all together, the party has gradually sought a softer line as this position became mostly untenable in [[Yonderian politics]]. Although its electoral support has declined in recent decades, the WP retains an influence in [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] politics, especially at the local level.
The regiment took on its current configuration and organization after the conclusion of the Second Great War as defense reforms slashed budgets and downsizing of the Armed Forces became a national priority. The Regiment has consistently proved to be a key asset to the [[Armed Forces of Arcerion|Arcer Armed Forces]], where it is often deployed for counter-insurgency, policing, stability, and humanitarian missions due to its highly mobile nature and maintaining a high level of readiness. As per the [[2022 Confederate Memo on Defence]] the Parachute Regiment was slated to receive the funding and manning to raise an extra two battalions by 2028, and a further third new battalion (6 PARA) by 2030.

===Inception and Great War years===
White Paper on Infantry Reformations
The Workers' Party was founded in 1918 by members of the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democratic Party]] by steel workers in [[Toubourg]]. The founding members of the party broke away from the Social Democrats to pursue a more hardline form of socialism that they named ''{{wpl|Stalinism|Stahlism}}'' after their trade, from the Gothic ''Stahl'' meaning "steel". The initial party programme guaranteed equality of men and women, a wide-scale nationalisation of businesses and services down to foodstands and the building of a communist workers' paradise with the state as the only tool. They quickly gained local support from the Toubourg Millers' Union and postal workers but feuded with the workers of the [[Toubourg Brewery]] who held much more conservative views.


The Workers' Party expanded rapidly during the [[Second Great War]] years, preaching interchangably pacifism and isolationism. The-then General Secretary of the party [[Wilhelm Goldmann]] held the view that [[Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie in the Great War|Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie]] were class traitors and even traitors to the nation of [[Yonderre]] itself, urging his followers and party members not to associate with them. This had the opposite effect of causing harassment and even assaults on returning Volonderres and those on home leave, which ultimately saw more than a thousand party members jailed over the Great War. Goldmann was charged with agitation and incitement of violence but acquitted at [[Yonderian High Court|High Court]] after a lengthy case. By 1948 the Workers' Party had more than 125,000 paying members and received 4.5 million votes in the [[1948 Yonderian general election]], just over 13.6% of the [[Grand Vote]].

===Popularity peak, cult of personality and downfall===
preparation for second great war
The popularity of the Workers' Party grew over the 1950s and 60s until it peaked in the [[1962 Yonderian general election]] with over 6 million votes or 19.4% of the [[Grand Vote]]. The rise of the new charismatic General Secretary [[Thierry de Nour]] in 1960 came with reformations to the party line that promised "more of the old, but better". The Workers' Party was offered to form a coalition government with the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democrats]], [[Industry Party]] and [[Farmers' Party (Yonderre)|Farmers' Party]] but refused, dubbing them class traitors. The remaining three parties instead went on to form a minority government that lost a vote of no confindence in 1964.


General Secretary [[Thierry de Nour]] purged the Workers' Party old guard in the late 1960s and early 1970s, removing several founding and key members of the party from their posts. With members devoted to him personally in key positions of the party instrument, de Nour made major changes to the party line, going back on previous concessions made to stay within the {{wpl|Overton window}} to pursue an even more radical form of {{wpl|Stalinism|Stahlism}} that he named for himself, ''de Nourism''. Criticism of the new party line was reason for exclusion from the party; the result of this was thousands of members leaving the party and hundreds of thousands of voters lost to other parties, ultimately concluding in a breakaway faction that would become the [[Red-Greens (Yonderre)|Red-Greens]].

===1990s-present===
Ardmori Civil War
After disappointing elections in the 1980s [[Thierry de Nour]] was forced out of the Workers' Party in 1990 in a coup by upper party echelons. His replacement as General Secretary was [[Ingrid Lichter]], who sought to steer the party back towards similar positions it had held immediately after the [[Second Great War]], appealing to the [[Red-Greens (Yonderre)|Red-Greens]] to return to the party. Members and votes were still being lost to the Red-Greens however, who had refused Lichter's pleas and followed a much softer, more liberal form of communism than the Stahlists could ever agree to.

Since its first printing on November 1st, 1918, the Workers' Party publishes ''[[Le Travailleuer]]'' (The Worker), initially twice per month and at its height in the 1960s three times a week.
