Huenyan Political Parties

Despite being a relatively new nation, Huenya has a highly robust and ever-changing set of political parties and movements. The following are a list of the ones large enough to gain representation on a national level.

---

Unification Party - A socially and economically center-left party, the Unification Party has the stated goal of promoting equality and unity within the Huenyan state. Has a secondary goal of unifying all of Huenya (including the Xiomeran Empire) into one Huenyan state. The first and largest party in Huenya, and seen by many citizens as the founders of the Huenyan state and guardians of its mission.

Party of Huitzilopochtli - A religious-based party for followers of the Huenyan indigenous religion. Promotes socially and fiscally conservative policies. Opposes separation of church and state, opposes secularism, believes that the indigenous religion should be made the national religion of Huenya. Believes that the High Priest of Huitzilopochtli should have a role as advisor to the head of state and head of government, and that the church should have a larger role in drafting laws and in governing.

Religious Rights Movement - A coalition of multiple religions in Huenya, which arose out of fears that the Party of Huitzilopochtli would seek to restrict or block other religions in the country. The RRM also advocates for issues of common interests to its members of different faiths.

Huenyan Atheist Movement - another group which arose in response to the Party of Huitzilopochtli and the RRM, this group seeks to defend Huenyans' "freedom from religion", as opposed to freedom of religion. It also heavily promotes the belief that Huenya should remain a secular state.

Xiomeran Defense League - a Xiomeran nationalist party, generally hostile to Huenyan federalism. Advocates for Xiomeran-majority parts of Huenya to either be transferred back to Xiomera or allowed autonomy. Supports fiscally conservative policies and is pro-business. Not heavily focused on social issues. Generally opposed to measures meant to promote equality between different ethnic and religious groups in Huenya. The XDL is often accused of being supported by the Xiomeran Empire, if not an outright puppet, as part of Imperial efforts to cause disruption in Huenya. The XDL denies those accusations and calls them a smear campaign against their party.

Huenyan Peoples' Party - an affiliate of the Peoples' Party of Milintica, promoting socialist policies in both social and economic matters. Also promotes reunification of the Xiomeran Empire with the rest of Huenya, by force if necessary. The HPP was originally founded by Milintican immigrants who moved to Huenya following Huenyan independence, but has since begun seeing an increasingly large number of native Huenyan members.

Green Party of Huenya - A party promoting Green politics with a particular emphasis on nonviolence, promoting democracy, promoting equality and social justice. A popular choice among Huenyans wanting to ensure Huenya does not follow the path of its former overlord, the Xiomeran Empire; currently the third largest party in Huenya behind the Unification Party and the Centrist Coalition.

Democratic Socialists of Huenya - a coalition of minor parties whose platforms range from social democracy to democratic socialism. Mainly popular in Huenyan cities and among students.

Huenyan Communist Party - a far-left communist party. Rivals to the DSH and the HPP, which they see as being idoeologically insufficient.

Western Alliance - an alliance of western Huenyan parties, focusing on issues of that region and on ensuring the Necatli, the smallest of the four Huenyan tribes, receive a sufficient level of representation. Highly conservative stance on economic and social issues.

Central Coalition - an alliance of political parties from the Itotemoc and Tepiltzin regions of Huenya. Advocates for regional interests of central and eastern Huenya, albeit in a less aggressive fashion than the Western Alliance. Falls between the Unification Party and the Peoples' Party on the ideological spectrum.

Party of the Advancing Liberation - a single issue party with one stated goal: the immediate "liberation" of the Xiomeran Empire and its forcible annexation to the Huenyan Federation. All of its social and economic policies are aimed at support of their overarching goal. Considered a radical party even by Huenyan political standards. This party is a spin off of the HPP, which it considered too moderate. Often allies with the Party of Huitzilopochtli.

Huenya Standing Tall - a dual-issue party whose main focuses are on the economy and the military. HST advocates for the Huenyan government to focus exclusively on building the national economy as quickly as possible in order to support the military in what it sees as an inevitable resumption of the war with the Xiomeran Empire. Also advocates the "strong economy, strong military" policy in order for Huenya to become a leading power in Caxcana. Considered one of the more right-wing and nationalist Huenyan parties.

Huenyan Centrist Coalition - An alliance of centrist political movements. Promotes neutrality and de-militarization, and cooperation with regional neighbors. Promotes a centrist stance on the economy and tolerance on social and religious issues. Advocates for reconciliation between the different Huenyan ethnic groups. Seen as the "solid center" choice, and the biggest rival to the Unification Party.

Huenyan Womens' Party - A single-issue party advocating for womens' rights. Open admirers of the Matriarchy of Kerlile. The HWP believes that while Huenya is "acceptable" when it comes to its friendliness to women, that much more progress is needed.

Huenyan Conservative Party - a traditional conservative party, with emphasis on limited government and economic freedom. Also advocates for those who favor a more decentralized Huenyan state than its current form, and more rights and powers to be devolved to each region of the country.

Pirate Party of Huenya - the Huenyan affiliate of the international Pirate politics movement. The PPH is especially interested in promoting free sharing of knowledge and lowering of copyright and patent barriers as a way for Huenya to jumpstart economic recovery by boosting innovation and collaboration.

Huenyan Populist Movement - A populist party that, theoretically, seeks to promote the interests of everyday Huenyans over the "elites" in government and society.

Agrarian Society - a party promoting the interests of rural areas, with a particular appeal to farmers, ranchers and "simpler lifestyle" advocates.

The Urban Union - a party focusing on development and needs of major Huenyan cities.

The Three Brothers - a fringe political alliance between movements representing the Necatli, Itotemoc and Tepiltzin ethnic groups. The three groups in question are outnumbered by the ethnic Xiomeran majority, and TTB is an attempt to provide "strength in numbers" to ensure equal representation.

Technocratic Union of Huenya - TUH is a political movement that believes that Huenya must use technology to "reboot" the nation following its destruction during the Second Xiomeran Civil War. TUH also believes that all political leaders should be experts with scientific or technical knowledge. Opponents have accused the TUH of being an attempt to re-create the old Xiomeran "Great Selection" process in Huenya, only on a mass scale.
