The Grand Republic of Gothis (Lechite: Storsłydzwaldska Gotyska; Andrenske: Störlythsvaalda av Gotis), commonly abbreviated as GRG or SKG, also referred to as Severoszlavia (Lechite: Severosławia; Andrenske: Severoslaavanske), is a country that spans nearly a quarter of Gothis. It is also known as Severogotia or Gotic-Szlavia. The GRG's climate changes from the north, which is subarctic, and to the south, where there are temperate and oceanic climates. Nominally, it is a federal union of two kingdoms and a grand duchy. In practice, it is highly centralized as a one-party state ruled by the Solidarist Party. It is one of the largest nations in Eras by land area and population.

Circa 50 AD, the Szlavs and the Kylians established enclaves in Vaanland, the southern Gothic territory of the Adriennic Empire as trade increased with Craviter and Meterra. Circa 500 AD, after Adrienna collapsed, jarl-governor Siemowit took over Gniezno, the capital of Vaanland. The northern coastal areas and central interior were divided by Aleman, Andrennian, and Dučrijekan jarldoms and kingdoms. In 769, Lech the Conqueror united Vaanland. The event established the Adrynska Republic, an elective monarchy.

In 1288, Arcanstotskan tsar Fyodor the Conqueror conquered large parts of former Adriennic South Gothis, including the Adrynska Republic. Other foreign monarchs were elected, such as the Waltalricher kings and the emperors of Andreno-Goyanes. In 1818, Andreno-Goyanes dissolved. Grand Queen Isabelle took the thrones of Andrenne and the Adrynska Republic. Andrennian plans to partition the Adrynska Republic prompted the Lajrnsaweara, the republic's parliament, to vote for a rebellion in a nationwide konfederacja.

Andrenne attempted to defeat the rebellion in the War of the Eagles. It ended in 1867 with Andrenne's defeat. Severoszlavia won with the aid of its new ally, Predice. The same year, a new constitution reorganized the Adrynska Republic into "Gotic-Szlavia," a parliamentary and democratic federation. As a token of gratitude, the new parliament voted to grant the Predicean Mavoias hereditary rights to the Severoszlav throne.

The federation was dissolved in the Severoszlav Revolution of 1932, a coup led by reactionary aristocrats. They forced the merger of two major political parties: The National Republicanist Party and the Syndicalist Party of Gotic-Szlavia. It created the Solidarists, a national syndicalist party. The new government, led by Regent Pawieł Avalov, established the "Grand Republic of Gothis." Avalov's rule started the "Great Leap Forward," an intensive program of rapid industrialization and agricultural modernization that led to enormous economic growth. However, wealth and power remained concentrated in the Szlachta, the Severoszlav aristocracy.

The GRG joined the Fascist War in 1937 on the side of the Dominion. Andrenne and the GRG invaded and partitioned Yakuvony in 1938.

In the early 1940s, Avalov's rival State Chancellor Michał Pucilowski asserted control in the First Cultural Revolution, better known as the Great Purge. It suppressed anti-war protests, conducted mass arrests, and eliminated opposition. Traditional social values were re-imposed by reversing political and civil rights reforms. Women's rights were curtailed. Homosexuality was re-criminalized. Political opponents were exiled, murdered, or imprisoned in forced labor camps. The state took over two of the largest Messianist denominations: The Courantist and Laurenist churches.

In 1951, the Dominion alliance was defeated. Pucilowski was ousted by the party. The GRG was forced to sign the 1952 Treaty of Taaverby to restore Yakuvoniak independence. Due to the threat of sharp economic decline, the Solidarist Party maintained economic stability by undertaking massive infrastructure projects and ending unemployment through massive military spending. The resulting deficit spending plunged the country into an economic depression in the late 1960s. It only started to recover in the early 1980s when political and economic reforms were introduced, moving away from totalitarianism and planned economics.

The Severoszlav Revolution of 1993, which started with plans for liberalization, was dimmed by economic mismanagement and the limited scope of reforms. The Second Cultural Revolution, led by State Chancellor Wincenty Aleksandrow, aimed for the social modernization of the Severoszlav people. Instead, it caused widespread sectarian violence and the mass exodus of 3 million people, most of whom were educated and skilled Courantist Szlavs. There was a nationwide brain drain crisis. The GRG responded by abolishing radical measures of Aleksandrow's reforms, including the worst of Great Purge-era laws, and promoted immigration from Astragon and Aydin.

Today, the GRG is an authoritarian state. The Adriennic Kajzer, its constitutional monarch, is the Grand Doge of Predice. He is represented in the country by a regent appointed by the Lajrnsaweara, the hereditary upper house of the Congress of Radas. The elected lower chamber, the Skałaprawa, appoints the State Chancellor, the head of government.

The GRG has a large manufacturing economy and is a major exporter. Its top five trade partners are Astragon, Avancene, Esthursia, Maloria-Vilmarna, and Tardine. To keep up with its growth, its economy is one of the largest importers. It has the potential to become an economic power, which is severely hampered by its domestic issues, ranking poorly in measures of democracy and human rights. As a middle power, the GRG is a nuclear-weapon state with more than 500,000 active military personnel and 4 million available for conscription.

Etymology

Main Article: Names of Severoszlavia

The official name is the Grand Republic of Gothis. The name Storsłydzwaldska (Grand Republic), from the Old Andrenske Störlythsvaalda, was used by Severoszlavia since Adriennic times (Pre-500 AD). The name was first formally adopted during the Adrynska Republic to represent the sovereignty of the Szlachta, the Severoszlav nobility. They were the progenitors and electors of the Adrynska elective monarchy system. The full title of the Adriennic Emperor, the Severoszlav monarch, has the introductory phrase "by the [...] will of the people." The people in the phrase originally referred to only the Szlachta. Since medieval times, the Szlachta always dominated the state and held extensive political rights and power.

Grand Republic also became part of the political concept asserting "Severoszlavia, third Adrienna" or Severoszlavia as the successor to Ancient Adrienna. This emerged during the Thaunic Revival movement of the 19th century. The name Gothis is a recent addition. It and the name "Grand Republic" embody the National-Republicanist origin of the state Solidarist ideology. Prince Włodzimierz Lodewiyg, Father of Solidarism, said the GRG must carry forward the legacy of the Grand Republic of Craviter as a champion for all nationalities and all classes in Gothis.

Severosławia (Mercanti: Severoszlavia; Andrenske: Severoslaavanske), the colloquial name, represents a common state for all Szlavs. The concept was promoted by the Pan-Szlavic movements of the 19th Century. The name is a combination of "Severo," the Lechite word for "north," and "Sławia," the Szlavic people.

The Pan-Gotic activists opposed the name and insisted on Gotyce-Slawia (Mercanti: Gothic-Szlavia; Andrenske: Göthisk-Slaavija). It combines the Lechite words for Szlavs and Gotics, an inclusive name to represent a common state for the two largest ethnic groups.

Ultranationalists on both sides argued their ethnic group should dominate the other. Gotic ultranationalists, like their Szlavic counterparts, came up with Severogotyce (Mercanti: Severogotia; Andrenske: Severogöthija) for a Gotic state. In their historical view, Szlavs are not native to Gothis.

The name "Gotic-Szlavia" was adopted in 1867 until it was dropped in 1932. The two interchangeable "Severoslavia" and "Severogotia" are mistakenly used to refer to the Grand Republic as a whole, especially outside the country.

The use of "Sodelrykia" is rare and controversial. It is based on the common Andrenske exonym for Severoszlavia, Sötelrykja. It literally means "southern realm."It has been associated with various Neo-Valkryists and Szlavophobic movements.

The Kajzer's style and titles (https://biblioteka.lajrnsaweara.gov.sz/)

The title refers to the position held by the monarch, such as "Kajzer of the Adriennics" or "King of Lechia-Jakuvonia." The style refers to the manner of addressing the monarch. The Kajzer is "His Imperial and Royal Majesty."

The State Herald announces the accession of a new Kajzer. In 2020, Wiktor Emanuel succeeded Jerzy IV as Kajzer. The new Kajzer was proclaimed with the following style and titles:

"Wiktor Emanuel, by the Grace of God and the Will of the People, Adriennic Kajzer; King of Lechia-Jakuvonia and Brennenburg; Grand Duke of Vojvodina; Jarl of Gydania, Poznań, Kraków, Feodimierz, Eryków, Jomsborg, Truso, Wolin, Grobin, Wirballen, Tuwangste, and Ragnit; Duke of Köslin, Stettin, Schneidemühl, Liegnitz, Breslau, Oppeln, Gleiwitz, Ratibor, and Glogau; Thane of Gniezno, Ingwigard, Zakopane, Ochryda, Zareborg, and Kutperk; Voivode of Višegrad, Sarajevo, Kishinev, and Petrostov; Prince-Mayor of Kamenz, Bautzen, Löbau, Görlitz, and Lauban; Grand Hetman of the Marcher Princes; King of Etiya; Grand Doge of Predice; Doge of Antofagosta; Prince of Savona; Duke of Mavoia; Defender of the Faith; Protector of the Adriennic Laurenist Church, Mediator of the Thaunic Circles; and other and others and others."​

Feodor the Conqueror and every ruler of Severoszlavia until 1864 used the title "Kar" or "Kjarr," the title of the Ancient Adriennic rulers. It was replaced by "Kajzer," based on the Andrenske word "Kejser" for "emperor." The style "His Imperial and Royal Majesty" entered official use in 1868 to reflect the creation of Severoszlavia, a federal union of kingdoms and principalities.

In 1993, State Chancellor Wincenty Aleksandrow announced his plan to abolish religious titles such as "Defender of the Faith" or "Mediator of the Thaunic Circles." All religions will be represented in the proposed title "Defender of all Faiths." This was never formally proposed in the Congress of the Radas.

Elected kjarrs or "kars" have reigned in Severoszlavia. It is the origin word for "Kajzer," the title of the modern Severoszlav monarch.

The first Kjarr was Theodimiir Zederik, founder of the Adriennic Empire in 321 BCE. The territory acquired by Theodimiir was conquered during the period of the Adriennic Republic. It invaded and occupied much of Gothis. Large parts of South Gothis were absorbed as a set of three Adriennic provinces in a region called "Vaanland," named by the Adriennic senate Lairnsaaveara. Ulr Aarvinjir, the last Adriennic kjarr, died in 365 CE. Adrienna lasted longer until the Fall of Fjellne in 698 CE.

Post-Adriennic Vaanland was divided between the jarl-governors. The surviving stjåre, members of the Lairnsaaveara, fled to Yngvigarðr, the provincial capital of Sötervaanryk. The restored Lajrnsaweara sold the stjåre or starosta honorific to the disenfranchised Szlavic elite, creating a new power dynamic in Gotic-led Vaanland.

In 769, Jarl Lech I united Vaanland. The Lajrnsaweara of Yngvigarðr proclaimed him as the first kar since Ulr Aarvinjir, founding the Adrynska Republic. Its first period Wielka Lechia was dominated by the mighty kings of the Piast dynasty in the 7th to the 9th centuries. The weak reign of Kar Feodimir II strengthened the Lajrnsaweara. Feodimir's attempt to gain hereditary rights was rejected by the Lajrnsaweara. Disagreements caused a political gridlock on major decisions needing Lajrnsaweara approval. It was only broken by Feodimir's abdication. Instead of a Piast or another Szlavic house, the Lajrnsaweara's choice for Feodimir's successor was Jero, the Gotic jarl of Truso.

Divisions among the Szlavic nobles or szlachta led to a resurgence of the Gotic szlachta. The Gotic houses of Eriksson, Sweynsson, and Piast-Windberg were elected. Piast Kar Włodokus IV attempted a feudal Piast restoration by curtailing the powers of the Lajrnsaweara. His resistance to abandon reforms escalated into the Szlachta Rebellion. It ended in Włodokus's defeat in the 1138 Pact of Ochryda. It mandated his abdication, Lajrnsaweara supervision via a select group of starostas (privy council), and Lajrnsaweara approval of the kar's decisions on governance. This made the Adrynska Republic more vulnerable to its enemies. In 1140, Andrenne conquered the Adrynska jarldom of Ardealij in the first of the Jakuvonia Wars.

Konrad III's schemes to control the Lajrnsaweara, pitting nobles against each other, sparked the Sarostas' War. To avoid future conflicts, the starostas signed the 1242 Pact of Ochryda. The accumulation of Szlachta privileges cemented their dominance over all classes, including the monarchy. It marked the beginning of the Golden Liberty system. Its main feature "liberum veto" allowed any noble to nullify the majority decisions of the Lajrnsaweara, consolidating a "noble democracy." This system was interrupted in the Khastenian invasion of Gothis. By 1288, all of the Adrynska Republic was absorbed by Imperial Khastenia. Tsar Fyodor III proclaimed himself kar. He abolished the liberum veto and feudalized the Republic.

In 1303, Goyanes, Waltalriche, and Andrenne invaded the Adrynska Republic in the Third Gotic Crusade. Its border territories were annexed in the First Partition. Formally, the Republic still existed. The vassals of the Republic were divided by the different spheres of influence under the crusader participants, with Goyanes being the largest beneficiary. The Lajrnsaweara survived, but most Pagan starostas were replaced by Messianist crusaders. This period was called the Lost Century.

The Lost Century ended in 1488 by the Severyn voivode Rajmund I of Petrostov. He led a konfederacja of anti-crusader states in the Wielka Feodoria, reconquest wars named after Fyodor III. They wanted to retake the greatest extent of Adrynska conquered under the Khastenian namesake's reign. Due to disagreements with the Courantist Church over Wielka Fiodoria, Rajmund and his followers established the Church of Adrynica. In 1492, he became kar via his marriage with Karza Anna II.

In 1500, Rajmund and Anna issued the Edict of Toleration, granting all religions the freedom to practice, including Courantism and Paganism. But the official religion constantly changed, switching back and forth between Courantism and Laurenism, or a Feodorite Article treaty to protect the state religion. In the reigns of Courantist Andrennian king Arno II and pagan Khastenian tsars Daniil V and Alexei II, great Severoszlav artists emerged, such as architect Bernardo Morando and poet Johannes von Höfen. Cities grew as trade and commerce developed. This was the Adrynska Renaissance. Hetman Vladimir Dolgorukiy of the Yuriyov Cossacks recaptured Ardealij in the Second Jakuvonia War in 1573.

Jonas I introduced the Adrynska Basic Law in 1775. It is based on the Supreme Law of Goyanes. It started the process of defeudalization, introducing the Goyanean parliamentary system, the separation of powers, secularism, citizens' rights, and the rule of law. The Kjellse-Tages dynasty reigned over initial prosperity before the Adrynska Republic was overtaken by civil wars. Anti-secularist, interreligious, and aristocratic private armies and militias divided the cities and countryside. Many were either funded by UKAG or Waltalriche, pitting Pro-UKAG Gotics and Pro-Waltalricher Szlavs against the other. The conflicts destabilized the Republic. It lost its wealth, power, and influence in the region. The once mighty state was reduced to a lesser partner in the UKAG union.

In 1864, Grand Queen Isabelle's role in Gotification and the proposed Second Partition provoked the Lajrnsaweara to oust her as karza. The ensuing War of the Eagles to regain the partitioned territories was won by Adrynska with the aid of its new ally Predice. In 1867, Grand Doge Giuseppe of Mavoia was elected the new Kajzer of Severoszlavia, a democratic federation that replaced the aristocratic Adrynska Republic. He and his heirs received hereditary rights, ending more than 1200 years of elective monarchy.

OPINION
The Solidarist Party: Meet The Factions
By Tadeusz Putin
March 20, 2024

Solidarist.sz

Kajzer, honor, and fatherland! Long live the Solidarist Party of Chevalier-Picard-Lodewiyg!

Wrong? Is it the Party of Chevalier-Picard-Lodewiyg-Pucilowski?

No? Or the the Party of Chevalier-Picard-Lodewiyg-Bolkonsky?

The Severoszlav Solidarist Party expects everyone to believe that 76 million members have always been solid in their unity since it was created in 1932. In reality, the Party has been changing throughout its existence. From the first period of collectivist Solidarist Party rule, to the totalitarian dictatorship of fascist Michał Łazarsyn Pucilowski, to the second period of Solidarist Party rule, to the totalitarian dictatorship of liberal Włodokus Andrzejsyn Bolkonsky. Severoszlavia is currently under the third period of Solidarist Party rule. Each with different trends on social, economic, political, military, and foreign affairs.

Either personal or impersonal, all Solidarist leaders were backed by competing groups who each had their own plans for Severoszlavia based on their interpretation of Solidarism. This led to the rise of the five factions that govern the Severoszlav Solidarist Party: Hardliner, Conservative, Moderate, Reformist, and Liberal.

The factions are also grouped between the old Inner Party factions (Hardliner and Conservative) and the new Outer Party factions (Reformist and Liberal).

Hardliners (Pucilowkists)

dJg2r3W.png

Prince Włodzimierz Ilyasov, leader of the Pucilowkists

Better known as Pucilowkists, they claim to represent the ideals of Severoszlav dictator Michał Pucilowski. They believe his system of Solidarism is the perfect version: The taming of rampant capitalism and its relegation to the state.

Pucilowkism champions the unity of all social classes under the aristocracy. In Severoszlavia, it is the Szlachta. All of the other classes should be subordinate to it to achieve "true solidarity." They oppose the "internationalist class solidarity" of mainstream socialist movements, especially Syndicalism and Communism, which calls for the abolition of the class system and a world revolution. Traditional Solidarists believe in the "strong organic bonds" formed by "nationalist class collaboration" where no class is persecuted, the hierarchy is celebrated, and the nation-state is preserved.

Hardliner policies mainly feature the central planning of production and distribution in the country to create a self-sufficient economy or an autarky. The Solidarist Party shared ownership of the economy with a cooperative oligarchy comprised of the Szlachta, the magnates or the merchant class, and the party elite. To this day, the majority of party elite leaders are middle-class administrators and white-collar professionals. Food, housing, and other benefits to the citizens are subsidized by the state.

To enforce absolute obedience to the state, they want a police state with total surveillance over information and the population. To accomplish this, they established a domestic intelligence agency, the Committee of State Security or KDBSP, and strengthened the national police (Independent Corps of Gendarmes) and the secret police (Revolutionary Inquisition). They oppose most civil liberties and religious tolerance, opting to support the recriminalization of homosexuality, the abolition of women's emancipation laws, and the complete separation of the state Courantist religion from the Via. They want to formally establish a national church.

Hardliners have a confrontational foreign policy. They view democratic Goyanes and Saintonge, their allies, and similar states as existential enemies. In Severoszlavia's home continent, Gothis, the majority of countries are liberal democracies. This drives their fanatical support for a strong military in both the state-controlled Imperial Army and Solidarist paramilitary Red Guard. To fight foreign intelligence, they granted autonomy to the Feldjäger Corps, expanding it to both police the Imperial Army and perform counterintelligence services.

A notable member of this faction is Prince Izajasz Ludomilsyn Gazzari.

Conservatives (Lodewiygists)

73tYUpm.png

Prince Feliks Király, leader of the Lodewiygists

They like to call themselves "Lodewiygists," named after the Father of Solidarism, Prince Włodzimierz Eliaszsyn Lodewiyg. The Conservatives is the oldest faction of the Solidarist Party. It emerged after Pucilowski's death. They consider themselves as "true Solidarists." To them, State Chancellor Michał Pucilowski is a traitor to the Solidarist cause. Because Pucilowski was the last and former leader of the Severoszlav Syndicalist Party, they argue his interpretation of the Solidarist ideology has been corrupted by personal narcissism and his hidden Communist tendencies.

Lodewiygism, like Pucilowkism, believes in class collaboration and Szlachta dominance over all classes. They have similar economic and welfare policies, but the Lodewiygists wanted a more mixed system with increased private ownership. They believe subsidizing economic growth solves both wants and needs. To better innovate industrial and scientific development, there should be more freedom for entrepreneurs and less central planning by the State.

They have no appetite for the totalitarian, Pucilowkist laws. In the Lodewiygist view, the police state should be downsized. The harshest punishments must only be handed down to more serious offenses, such as deliberate attempts to subvert the state, the official ideology, and national traditions. They supported the abolition of women exclusion laws in 1993, the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1994, and the abolition of blasphemy laws in 1996. They still want lèse-majesté, LGBTQ+ propaganda ban, and taxation on non-Courantist religions, but mass media censorship should be selective, not a blanket ban on general topics.

Lodewiygists single out "Social Feudalism," arguing welfare should be seen as a "benefit" of being a Severoszlav citizen, not as an obligation of the Szlachta or the Severoszlav state to its people. The welfare system should only focus on the two "nation-rearing" public services, education and healthcare. Only what remains should be used to fill the gaps in the people's needs.

While they see countries like Goyanes and Saintonge as ideological enemies, they are more cautious in foreign policy practices, especially in response to aggression from other countries. The enemy should be given as many benefits of the doubt as possible. Defensive maneuvers are prioritized over pre-emptive strikes or immediate armed retaliation.

A notable member of this faction is Grand Duke Odoaker Błażejsyn Mavoia, Chief Kommisar of the People's Collegium of War.

Moderates

xpqeTFp.png

Grand Duke Mikołaj Kjellse-Tages-Kotromanić, Reformist leader of the Moderates

Unlike the four other factions, Moderates are not easily identifiable. Only its leaders, who is usually a member of the Outer Party factions. Many of its members come and go as they please. They mainly identify as one of the four other factions. What they all have in common is that they want to preserve the Solidarist structure of Severoszlavia.

Moderates fear that Solidarism, if left stagnant, is in real danger of collapsing. They view reforms as a way to maintain balance. Inefficient and obsolete practices should be abandoned. On the economic front, they want to completely abandon central planning. In its place, a mixed market system should be allowed to develop.

On foreign policy, they believe in co-existence. They criticize current levels of military and intelligence spending for draining the national budget. In 1994, they introduced measures that decreased the size and power of the KDBSP and the Independent Corps of Gendarmes, reducing state surveillance of citizens and censorship of mass media. Instead of enforcing obedience to the state, the Moderates believe it should be the state that should actively seek approval from the people.

They have supported a major Reformist/Liberal reform to the Skałaprawa, the lower house of the Congress of Radas. The reform allowed lower organizations of the Solidarist Party to submit the final list of nominees for the Skałaprawa elections, which previously required the approval of the Central Committee of the Solidarist Party.

In expanding civil liberties, the Moderates limited reforms to only enshrine "basic human rights," particularly the freedom of worship and freedom from want. They voted with the Reformists and Liberals in removing Hardliner policies such as LGBTQ+ criminalization, women's exclusion, and blasphemy laws. only supported the Hardliners and Conservatives in the continued censorship of anti-government and anti-religious views.

Reformists (Parliamentary Syndicalists)

l5GQzdd.png

Prince Igor Juntunen, leader of the Parliamentary Syndicalists

Their nickname, "Parliamentary Syndicalist," is due to their commitment to the syndicalist beginnings of Solidarism, when Severoszlavia was a parliamentary democracy from 1867 to 1932 and the Solidarist Party were still two different parties: The National Republicanist Party and the Severoszlav Syndicalist Party. The Reformist faction wants to completely transform Solidarism into a "true socialist movement" and to establish a "Workers' Democracy" in Severoszlavia.

They supported Regent Bolkonsky in the privatization of state companies in heavy, mining, and defense industries. But it only created a new oligarchy that empowered him and his allies, including the Reformists. With additional funding freed up from military and intelligence spending, the Reformists voted with the Moderates and Liberals to establish universal healthcare, education, and housing in the late 1990s.

They claim their proposals for the New Solidarism have a better interpretation of Jacques Chevalier's National-Republicanism. It is "far superior" that it "fixes" the flawed Syndicalist ideology. Based on Social Feudalism, they recognize the Szlachta as the leading class, but they must not be exempt from responsibilities, especially in obligations towards the people.

Despite initial support, Reformists now disagree with Bolkonsky's forced merger of the Courantist and Laurenist churches. As an attempt to gain Conservative and even Hardliner support, they still support the idea of a state religion in Severoszlavia but instead of designating an existing denomination, "Messianism" as a whole will be declared as the official religion. They believe this would unite the branches of Messianism.

They and their coalition partner, the Liberal faction, legislated the Skałaprawa Act 1993. The Skałaprawa, the lower house of the Congress of Radas, chooses its members from the Solidarist party organizations: Trade confederations, professional and cultural organizations, universities and schools, and other bodies identified by the Party to represent an important sector of society. The Skałaprawa Act allowed the party organizations to submit the final list of candidates for the Skałaprawa elections. The Central Committee, the governing body of the Solidarist Party, originally drafted the final list. The Central Committee then puts it to vote in a national referendum, which is now held every 4 years instead of the original 7-year-term.

In the next phase of the proposed Reformist/Liberal reforms, they want the Central Committee to end its monopoly over party affairs, especially its behind-closed-doors selection of its leaders. If the plans are approved, legislative elections will be held in functional constituencies made up of the Solidarist party organizations.

The Reformists believe that military and intelligence spending should never supersede the needs of the people.

Notable members of this faction are Foreign Secretary Prince Kacper Wincentsyn Dembe, Skałaprawa Lawspeaker Dymitr Ambrożysyn Sessler, and State Chancellor Lotar Horacysyn Aleksandrów.

Liberals (Democrats)

PjdIWMZ.png

Cardinal-Prince Anioł Voiello, leader of the Democrats

The Liberal faction, also known as the "Democrats," aims for the decentralization and democratization of Severoszlavia. Due to their proposals for such radical changes, many Hardliners and Conservatives suspect that their ultimate goal is to dismantle the Solidarist Party. They insist their ideal version of the Grand Republic will still be led by the Solidarist Party, but they have not explained the operation of this new system.

The faction leaders wanted to re-establish Severoszlavia in a form close to the Pre-1932 democratic federation under the Gazzari Constitution, even if it meant the break-up of the Grand Republic. The faction membership is diverse with various Gotic and Szlavic ethnicities. In exchange for support, the faction leaders have repeatedly promised to hold referendums for all non-Lechite ethnicities. The Liberals and the Reformists plan to re-introduce legislative elections by designating Solidarist party organizations as constituencies.

As part of their aim to abolish the police state, they voted with the Moderates and Reformists in removing Hardliner policies such as LGBTQ+ criminalization, women's exclusion, and blasphemy laws. They want civil liberties to feature the right to life, the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech, and freedom from fear.

They agree with the Reformists that the Courantist and Laurenist churches should be separated. Although it was Bolkonsky, their former leader, who forced the merger in the first place, they now neither agree nor associate with the disgraced Regent. But they are divided on the future status of state religion. The current Regent, Cardinal-Prince Voiello, has spoken in support of a secular state. Others support the Reformists in the proposal to recognize "Messianism" as the official religion.

The Liberals advocate for a free market economy and political autonomy for the constituent states, with new borders drawn on ethnic lines. They have plans to privatize most state companies. As pacifists, they believe the Severoszlav military and intelligence should no longer serve as the "main instruments of foreign policy" and downsized to forms "primarily fit for defensive purposes." To that end, they want to pursue friendship with all nations and implement reforms to integrate Severoszlavia in a globalizing world.
