Political Parties of Faneria: Difference between revisions

Futurists (Sometimes referred to as Scientificists) are the minority faction within the NRP, and favor the education-focused, pragmatic mindset of Cananach's original ideology over its geopolitically isolating and moralizing aspects. Generally, the Futurists tend to control most of the state industries, regulatory bodies, and the education system, and are increasingly fighting the Starkists for a majority within the Party and a resulting plurality within Faneria as a whole. They are expected to become the dominant faction within the first half of the modern century, and oftentimes compromise with the National Party. They are also generally considered to be fairer than the Starkists in handling corruption and legislation, aiming to apply set codes and standards to the often excessive punishments and penalties doled out by Starkist courts and inspectors as well as adopting a general 'no loopholes allowed' policy with the bills they present in the Concord.

Starkists are the majority faction within the NRP, and place particular emphasis on the anti-monarchy and anti-corruption pillars of Cananachan Republicanism. Starkists are typically dominant over the Futurists and the minor parties in court positions, political oversight groups, and policing and diplomatic branches. They maintained a steady plurality within all three houses of the [[Joint Seats of the Concord|Concord]] from 1906 to 1950, after which they suffered a split from the Futurists and nearly lost their plurality during the Lean Years. As the 'default' party of incoming political figures and the traditional bloc for many cities, they have enjoyed a relatively comfortable leading position for most of the Republic's history. Currently, they are losing a great deal of authority to the Futurists, including the public switch of the Party Lead and Despot, [[Brennan Walaerin]], to the minority in 2018.
