The Jade Resistance Movement is a political party in the Kiravian Federacy.

History

Civil War

The Jade Resistance Movement was formed during the chaos of the Kiravian Civil War, originating from the Brilliant Jade Battalion, a militia associated with the Whirlwind Brigades, the armed wing of the Kiravian Social-Nationalist Party. The Brilliant Jade Battallion was named for the area where it was founded by Kasteran revolutionary A.K. Fortisevin in the Jade Hills region of the Eastern Highlands along the Kastera-Kiorgia border. Originally, most of its fighters hailed from Kiorgia and southern Kastera and Hiterna, and many had roots in the smaller industrial cities and agricultural market towns of this region. The Battalion initially fought against both the Federalist government and the Kiravian Red Army, but following the alliance between the Social-Nationalist Party and the Communists in 1933, the Battalion broke from the KSNP and its Whirlwind Brigades and threw in with the Federalist side, recognising that the government and its allied militia were now the only viable opposition to the Red Army. Generalissimo Séan Kæśek respected Fortisevin's capabilities as a commander, and placed him in command of all former KSNP defectors, whom Fortisevin absorbed into his unit, now known as the Jade Resistance Brigades. A manifesto for a notional political party, the Kiravian Popular Social-National Resistance Party, was drawn up shortely thereafter and a central committee chaired by Fortiseven was formed, but the party existed on paper only and would not partake in the political process until after the war.

The Jade Brigades would continue to fight alongside the regular army and rightist militia even as the tide of the war in the Eastern Theatre turned decisively in favour of the Socialists. The main body of the Brigades had the good fortune to be evacuated to South Kirav after the fall of Primóra, and only a small detachment were assigned to aid Whiggus McDickus in his doomed defence of Ilánova. When the Federalists were finally forced to abandon the Kiravian mainland completely, surviving Jade Brigades fighters were evacuated to Æonara, the new seat of the government-in-exile that would become the Kiravian Remnant.

Remnant

Similarly to the Social Democrats KF, the Kiravian Popular Social-National Resistance Party in exile on Æonara initially functioned less as a conventional political party and more as a mutual aid society to provide support for Jade Brigade veterans, other dissident social-nationalist refugees, and their families. Unlike the SDKF, however, the KPSNRP on Æonara cut its remaining ties to the socialist movement proper, amending its manifesto in 1936. Indeed, during the earliest years of the Remnant, there were few channels for political participation to begin with, as the last elected "Rump Stanora" remained in place until 1945, with elections and other constitutional provisions temporarily suspended under the State of Emergency.

As part of the 1945 Reforms, the Kæśek régime resumed elections and restored the normal operation of government in the Kiravian Remnant territories - to a point: only parties affiliated with the Renaissance Party-dominated National Reunification Front would be allowed to contest elections. The National Reunification Front was intended to allow for a limited degree of political pluralism without endangering the Kæśek régime's hold on power, and to provide some recognition and representation to the various factions which had fought on the Federalist side in the Civil War. As such, the KPSNRP was invited to join the Front under the much-improved name 'Jade Resistance Movement', which it proceeded to do at the NRF founding conference.
