Recently, they country of Osterstatt has just received the results of its first democratic elections! The Nationalist Party has won the elections with an astonishing 76.4 percent of the vote, leading to the installation of Albrecht Stammer as Chancellor of Osterstatt. He has won support primarily for his charismatic nature, involving of people in his own politics, zealous decrying of communism and liberalism, and his promises of a new future for osterstatt.
Osterstatt has only just recently emerged from the turmoil of a corrupt capitalist government which arose after the monarchy fell, and while leftist supporters have taken to calling Mr. Stammer's Nationalist party as "Neo-Monarchism", the effects of the slander seem to have gone unfelt by the party, who recently swept the nation-wide elections.
Mr. Stammer himself advocates national reform, with his cries for the nationalization of core industries, the disbanding of worker's unions and replacing them with national labor unions, and a deeper law budget. He advocates that a new future can be brought about, a modern future free from the decadence and liberalism of the past. In addition to all this he is very radically opposed to the "Communist party of Osterstatt" calling leftism and communism "flawed forms of government" advocation a strongly centralized form of government with national policies, emphasis on the authority of the state, and the importance of military.
It has only been seven months since his election, and already hehas radically reformed the country to become what may the beginnings of an industrial power. They have reformed the previously decentralized largely corporate government of the past regime with the new one, nationalized many core industries that produce raw matierials, re-organized the corporate bodies into a "third way" system, and have begun to develop military power.
In their economic beliefs, they hold both laissez-faire economics and left-wing socialism (I say left-wing because their economic beliefs, are in the broadest definition, socialism) to be inherently flawed. Laissez-Faire, they say, is responsible for monopolization of interests and a cyclical decline, they believe that it will lead to a depression in time. Leftist Socialism on the other hand, will destroy the ability of the individual to succeed as well as any form of progress. Instead they propose a third way economy, where the state controls finances, liscencing, and raw materials, and certain industries, controlling the production of raw materials are nationalized. They strongly believe that means of economic production should be controlled by the masses, but through means of the state. They believe that individual non-state interests should not control the control the economy and as such they introduce corporativism, or the idea of collectivizing corporate heads into conglomerate bodies controlled to an extent by the state. They do not exactly oppose the free market but rather seek to regulate it to keep any interest from generating abnormal profit.
Politically, The Nationalist Party's viewpoint is one of unity, strength, progress, authoritarianism, and loyalty to the state. The Nationalist Party is an extreme centrist party, much as communism would be the extreme left. To sum it up, what the party believes in is that "individual and societal interests are subordinate to the needs of the state" and rather than espouse liberalism, which puts focus on individual liberties, the party supports collective liberties. Further they believe that authority should be respected, that it is integral to human society's functioning, they also believe in a strong national unity, enforcing the ideal that Osterstatt is proud and resilient, capable of great things. They try to bring people together with the idea of national identity and culture, rather than race.
Another key aspect of the party is the belief in populism, or defending the common man against the elites, this does differ from communism in that they do not hold true the idea of collective working communes or individual rights, but hold that, beneath the state, the common people should be protected. This is seen in the manifestation of such things as National Labor Unions and whatnot. They do hold the idea that not all people are equal however, and this manifests itself in different ways.
The chief of ways this manifests itself is in opposition to communist class struggles, they believe that the classes work together to promote progress. They believe this to be a truth for society, that the lower class, or laborer, is requisite for the upper and middle classes, but that the upper class is requisite for the lower and middle class as the controller of the means of production, and that the middle is requisite for both as the consumer of capital goods and the producer of non capital labor.
With such views the Republic of Osterstatt begins to open relations with the outside world hoping to find allies and supporters.
