Fhainnin politics have been largely dominated by one party since the [[Fhainnin Civil War|1906 Revolution]], but competing party politics are legal and on occasion encouraged. The primary opposition party split from the Republicans in 1927 and has since been renamed several times, with major shifts in politics occurring after the [[Great War]], in the 1960s, and in the 1990s-2000s. The last thirty years have seen the collapse of many single-issue parties and smaller factions folding into larger ones, coinciding with a mellowing of rhetoric and political divisions following 1950s-1960s postwar instability and recovery. Major issues within Faneria center around infrastructure, religion and religious rights and toleration, regional separatism in the north and far west, and revanchist and trade-oriented foreign policy. This has played into urban-rural divides, but has largely surpassed local tribalism. Electoral districting is based on the county system, which is largely fixed around municipalities and townships, meaning factoring in varying degrees of voting power can be extremely complex and difficult when considering population changes and the tricameral nature of the [[National Assembly of the Fhainnin Republic|legislature]] and their varying modes of election. | Fhainnin politics have been largely dominated by one party since the [[Fhainnin Civil War|1906 Revolution]], but competing party politics are legal and on occasion encouraged.

==== Futurist Faction==== | ====Futurist Faction==== | ||
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 Assembly. | 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.

====Starkist Faction ==== | ====Starkist Faction==== | ||
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 [[National Assembly of the Fhainnin Republic|Assembly]] 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 [[Seat of the Directorate|Director]], [[Cían Walaerin|Brennan Cían Walaerin]], to the minority in 2018. | Starkists are the majority faction within the NRP, and place particular emphasis on the anti-monarchy and anti-corruption pillars of Cananachan Republicanism.

}}The National Party is the largest party outside of the Republican Party of Faneria, and has several core policy points - namely, greater integration or even admission into the Levantine Union, rehabilitative justice, free market economics, and a federal government system to replace the existing unitary republic. As a market and social liberal party, it supports ties with other Levantine and western Sarpedonic nations over the traditional block of Fhainnin allies. They often compromise and overlap on some policy positions with the Futurist faction of the Republicans, although the Nationals have serious issues with the Futurists' lack of interest in cultural progressivism. | }} | ||

The Christian Minimalists are the third largest existing party and the newest political party in Faneria, being a 2025 merger of the former Social and New Way Parties as well as several smaller fringe groups. Its predecessors, being hardline socialist/theocrat parties, suffered a series of winnowing electoral defeats throughout the 1990s and onwards, leading to the eventual splitting of the Social party into fundamentalist and reformist factions. The fundamentalists of each side largely splintered away, with the majority of the Minimalist base being former New Way and other Catholic groups; in spite of this, moderate socialists and a few tolerant hardliners have found a place in the party, along with a wave of Protestant Christians allowed in after the seizure of party leadership by the former socialist Domhnic Lutair. | The Christian Minimalists are the third largest existing party and the newest political party in Faneria, being a 2025 merger of the former Social and New Way Parties as well as several smaller fringe groups.
