Official Press Release


Today, in response to the inauguration of the Lord Protector, the Executive Boards of the Nationalist Union and Republic Parties met in Hamptonshire City to discuss the future of Hamptonian government and society. After careful consideration, it was decided that in order to prevent those forces that oppose the Will of the People from gaining power over the Nation a drastic step needed to be taken...

By unanimous vote the Executive Boards of both parties have agreed to merge their organizations, which were already joined closely together in a Coalition, together into a single party. This new party will serve to protect and further the true interests of all Hamptonians. The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti (NARP) will fight for the Will of the People.

NARP stands for everything that is good and wholesome about Hamptonian society, those things that we will defend at all costs: nationalism, an expansion of Hamptonian power, a renewed sense of national purpose, a deep commitment to the military, and social conservatism balanced with a respect of individual liberty.

The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti will begin immediately to fight for those changes that are necessary to establish a government worthy of this great Nation. We are the voice of the majority, we are the voice of the people. We shall not be silenced.

Official Press Release
Office of the President of the Royal Congress

In accordance with the postions adopted by the Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti, the majority party within in the Royal Senate, this Office has scheduled an Immediate National Security Session to debate the creation of the Federal State Ministry.

The Federal State Ministry (FSM), as proposed, would merge the Foreign, Defense, Interior, Health and Domestic Security, and Justice Ministries together under a single Senior Cabinet Minister. It is the belief of the Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti that the FSM will best execute the will of the general electorate without being unduely influenced by unelected members of the Hamptonian Government.

This Office has scheduled Floor debate for tonight and tomorrow morning with the vote scheduled 36 hours after final debate.

Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti (NARP) Platform

Our powerful economy gives Hamptonshire a unique chance to confront persistent challenges. Our country, after an era of drift, must now set itself to important tasks and higher goals. The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti has the vision and leadership to address these issues.

Our platform is uplifting and visionary. It reflects the views of all Hamptonians across this country who believe in prosperity with a purpose — who believe in Renewing Hamptonshire's Glory. Together. This platform makes clear that we are the party of ideas. We are the party that follows its bold words with bold deeds.

The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti has a special calling — to advance the principles of freedom, nationalism, a strong national defense, and proper government and the dignity and worth of all Citizens.

These principles form the foundation of both an agenda for Hamptonshire in this year and this platform for our party. They point us toward reforms in government, a restoration of timeless values, and a renewal of our national purpose.

After a period of bitter division in national politics, we must bring to power those who would bring all people together. All citizens must be called to common goals, those goals that are at the heart of what it means to be a true Hamptonian. We need a fresh outlook and innovative ideas to deal with our longstanding problems.

The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti commits itself to bold reforms in education — to make every school a place of learning and achievement for every child. We will demand high standards and accountability for results, those schools and teachers that fail our children will face appropriate consequences.

We commit ourselves to rebuilding the Hamptonian Royal Armed Forces and returning to a foreign policy of strength and purpose and a renewed commitment to our allies and our own interests. We will deploy active defenses against those that would threaten us and develop the weapons and strategies needed to win wars in this new technological era.

We commit ourselves to tax reforms that will sustain our nation’s prosperity and reflect its decency.

We recommit ourselves to the values that strengthen our culture and sustain our nation: nation, family, faith, personal responsibility, and a belief in the dignity of every human life.

We offer not only a new agenda, but also a new approach — a vision of a welcoming society in which all Citizens have a place. To all Hamptonians, particularly immigrants and minorities, we send a clear message: this is the party of freedom and progress, and it is your home. Through the Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti, you can become a part of the Grand Duchy, a part of Hamptonian society.

The diversity of our nation is reflected in this platform. We ask for the support and participation of all Hamptonians. We are bound together in a great enterprise for our children’s future, in fact, for the very survival of our nation and our way of life.

We seek to be faithful to the best traditions of our component parties. We are the parties that ended the Federal Income Tax, granted homesteads, built land grant colleges, and moved the government toward greater public accountability. We believe in service to the common good — and that good is not common until it is shared.

We believe that from freedom comes opportunity; from opportunity comes growth; and from growth comes progress and prosperity.

Our vision is one of clear direction, new ideas, civility in public life, and leadership with honor and distinction.

The next election is an election with clear alternatives. The Nationalistisk Republikaner Folkeparti offers Hamptonshire a chance to begin anew: To give purpose to our plenty. To apply enduring principles to new challenges.

With confidence in our fellow Hamptonians and great hopes for the future of our country, we respectfully submit this platform to the people of the Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire.

We are the majority, We are the people, We shall not be silenced
