Humanitarian Party

== Overview ==
The Humanitarian Party was the main Centrist Party in the Republic of Polynesia's political landscape until its merger with the Social Liberal Party (SLP) on July 3, 2020. It has 
been in power 3 times throughout its history and has had its members in significant cabinet positions in another 3 governments. It lead the RoP through the 1st RoP Civil War and served during the highly popular April and May 2020 Labour Government terms as Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Prime Minister Positions. Although the party is rather controversial due to its leaders and Centrist ideology, it has relatively positive relations with all parties in the RoP. Its legacy as a beacon of Polynesian Centrism continued on through the SLP, NPL, Contean Block and most recently the PJDP. However, since April 2021 no party has come close to replicating the ideas and force of Humanitarian Centrism.

== Party History ==
=== Founding ===
Following the 2nd and 3rd New Ballville Griefs by terrorists, the SDP (Social Democratic Party) Prime Minister Hamburg resigned. Tsar, a member of the party and State Security Minister of the 1st LeftCo government left the SDP and ran as an Independent Candidate because he considered Hamburg weak and too defeatist to lead an effective government after the Hamburg Resignation. This move made headlines as the fledgling politician was making rather big moves for a new member of the Polynesian community and political landscape. At this time, Wolos formed a separate Humanist Party (whose nickname was actually Humanitarian Party). This party's platform was focused on infrastructure/urban area building and on technological development. Tsar and Wolos soon made friends and decided to merge their ideas into Polynesia's main Centrist party in October 2019. They made an Alliance with the Minecraft Protection Party (MPP)
=== Actions in the 2nd CentreCo Government ===
Early Reconstruction
Upon the Coalition Victory by the Humanitarian and Minecraft Protection Parties (MPP) in October 2019, Wolos was given the role of Deputy Prime Minister and Tsar was given the role of State Security Minister. During the beginning of the term, the focus of the party was repairing New Ballville from the 2nd and 3rd New Ballville griefs; a task neglected by the Monarchist Party during the 1st CentreCo Government. Infrastructure was repaired and expanded, TNT craters were repaired, and businesses such as Broke Building LLC. were encouraged to open up shop in the Capital.
Conflicts With Dan
In the middle of the 2nd CentreCo federal term, a new player named Dan joined and was caught bombing both the Nether Highway and part of Britannia's "under" base. Dan was charged with terrorism and was forced to repair the damage. However, this was just a prelude to the impending instability that would take place. Soon after, Dan declared war on the RoP and rallied an army of new players called the New Player Army (NPA). New players were conscripted against the RoP and given military-grade weapons by Dan. The war effort, however, was almost immediately going in favor of the superiorly-armed RoP and PIA (Polynesian Intelligence Agency) forces. The Capital was successfully defended from a swarm of new players lead by Dan, and a Wither was killed before any significant damage could be done to the Capital. After winning a string of victories following the battle of New Ballville, including the utter obliteration of Dan's base, Dan was forced to surrender by the RoP. Following the war, Tsar passed a bill that banned Dan from anything to do with politics until November 2019.
Legal Political Coup & Diplomacy With VoS
In the final days of the Dan War, the people of Polynesia were exhausted. However, Sealand convinced Britannia to start a highly unpopular military campaign into the Village of Sand (VoS) due to the establishing of a VoS Prison. Tsar tried to stop this by establishing an RoP Embassy in the VoS but the Prime Minister was already fully convinced to go to war. A plan was made to first negotiate the surrender of VoS. If they declined, the RoP would declare war. Due to miscommunication and further convincing by Sealand, Britannia lead an RoP military expedition into the VoS who already agreed to peaceful annexation half an hour before the attack started. The unnecessary invasion of the VoS angered the populace and the Humanitarian Party heavily, calling Prime Minister Britannia "Brit the Warlord." Capitalizing on this, Tsar and Wolos staged a political coup in Parliament by insulting PM Britannia in his office, threatening armed revolt, and forcing his resignation. Britannia's resignation made the Coup technically legal and Wolos was allowed to be Prime Minister with Tsar as the new Deputy Prime Minister. A snap election was promised by the two Coup orchestrators to the people of the RoP. As promised, the election happened a day later with the result landing Wolos a Coalition Victory; letting him keep his position as Prime Minister. Tsar was put as the Minister of Home and Foreign Affairs.
=== Actions in the 3rd CentreCo Government ===
The 1st RoP Civil War
The Humanitarian Party won a controversial snap election in October 2020. The new Leader of the Opposition, Cosmic, has a personal quarrel with Prime Minister Wolos. Cosmic accused Sealand of voter fraud and started to rally support anywhere he could. He got support from Dan and Britannia, and the rest of the RoP populace didn't support him due to a lack of evidence or care for the topic. A few days after Cosmic started his faction, he declared a rebellion against the government and formed the Counter Republic of Polandball (CRoP). The 1st RoP Civil War officially began at the start of hostilities. After a few days of fighting that proved rather unfavorable for the RoP (even losing the Capital for a few days), Tsar passed a highly controversial bill in Parliament to ban Britannia's Party (the MPP) and Dan's Anarchist Party. Cosmic, who was King up until now, was dethroned and replaced by his wife (Zee) who later divorced him. 
Post-War Stability
After eventually winning the Civil War, Wolos passed a law that introduced a Parliamentary Chamber on Instagram for easy access to Parliament instead of hard-to-schedule Parliament Meetings in-game. Legislation to allow the independence of the PIO and MPA from government control was passed, and a bill to reconcile the two sides of the civil war was passed. Sealand, who was in a coalition with the Humanitarians and active Deputy Prime Minister (DPM), quit his role due to a quarrel with Wolos. The Humanitarians now had a minority government with just 10 seats out of 150. Tsar took over DPM from Sealand and gave himself the additional role of State Security Minister along with his existing role as Minister of Home and Foreign Affairs. Even though the ruling government was slowly losing popularity with the left and right, along with the opposition by Cosmic hellbent on getting rid of Wolos, the era of the 3rd CentreCo Government allowed for the complete reconstruction and development of the Capital. New towns were built, the playerbase was at its peak, the first-ever Royal Palace was built, and the first-ever televised election debate was held. However, legislation was very hard to pass and the party was largely relying on votes from the PPF, Scarlithian, and Rapturist Parties to get bills passed through legislation. Political scandals between many parties and personal insults made the political landscape very toxic, and the fresh memory of the Civil War didn't help.
The First Snap/Prelude to Doomsday
Just a week before the Humanitarian Term was going to end with a scheduled election, the file data of the world corrupted. 75% of all edited blocks by players were removed, and half of the capital was simply wiped out by the data corruption. Calls by Sealand and others for a snap election were strong, but Tsar managed to sway some in the Monarchist Party and Britannia from the now not-banned MPP to go against the vote. The vote passed 9-8 Against the snap election. Due to personal issues, Wolos left Tsar mostly alone to govern the country during this turbulent period but stayed as a "shadow Prime Minister." Tsar organized reconstruction teams and lead the team rebuilding the Capital, and aid to those heavily affected was given. However, the worst was yet to come just a few days later: "The Crisis of All Crises" happened just a few days later, and Dommsday just after that.
The Crisis of All Crises
In a move to get a fancy Royal Title, Tsar married Queen Zee in the "Meme Marriage" (although none of them took vows because they consider actual online relationships very weird). Outraged, her ex-husband Cosmic sent a vote into Parliament to de-throne the current ruling Dynasty and simply replace it with Duke Sealand's. Most of the supported base of Zee was inactive when the vote happened so it passed. Tsar was outraged by this and held another vote, this time when all MPs were active. This time, the pro-Zee faction won and pro-Sealand riots broke out in the Capital. To avoid another Civil War, Zee abdicated and declared independence as the Queen of Scarlithia. Tsar followed suit and joined her. Many other citizens left the nation to form their own countries, leaving the RoP as a mere shadow of itself. Wolos was left to govern the RoP alone, but this time with most of the nation gone in small disunited independent nations. Tsar also left the Humanitarian Party until after Doomsday, joining the Scarlithian Party to represent Scarlithia's interests in the newly formed Polynesian Union. Wolos abolished anything to do with royalty in the now fragmented and shattered RoP. Short-term stability and steady reconstruction happened during this 3-day period, but was cut short by Doomsday.
Doomsday (2nd Snap)
Only a few days after relative peace returned to the battered RoP, the world file corrupted yet again and was simply deleted. Everything was gone. A completely new world was put in place by Minehut, and the playerbase quit the server until late November. All major parties then would come back and Tsar would come back as the new leader of the Humanitarian Party, winning an election in December 2019. The RoP reunited after Doomsday.
=== Actions During the 4th CentreCo Government ===
Hopeful Beginnings
After winning a Coalition Victory with the SDP and Labour Parties, Tsar was elected as Prime Minister of the RoP and Wolos was appointed as his Finance Minister. His term started with great promise, especially with his idea of a "constitution club" to combine the leaders of all political spectrums to write a constitution they can all agree on. However, his term is looked down upon in history due to its crises and the way Tsar resigned. Due to personal issues, Wolos resigned from his Finance Minister position and disappeared from the server for months.
Resignation
Due to severe infighting (even sometimes on a military level) between his entire cabinet over what to do to spawn, coupled with the Dan Terror Campaign, Tsar disbanded several major areas of the government such as the Army and Polynesia Intelligence Agency; and collapsed the government on purpose out of rage and hopelessness. Much of the liberal supporters in Polynesia still frown upon Tsar for this on a personal level. Sealand offered to make him Prime Minister again if he came back to politics, but Tsar rejected the offer and left the server until after the 8th server elections concluded. Sealand acted as intern Prime Minister until those elections.
Avoidance of a Civil War
A day before Tsar's resignation, Deputy Prime Minister Sealand and King James I (Belg) sided with Dan during the Dan Terror Campaign to give Belg absolute authority over the RoP and rule as Emperor after some disagreements in a Parliamentary debate. Tsar created the "Loyalist Army" as a counter-force to support democracy. At this time, King Belg also pardoned Dan of terrorism charges. A couple of days after the pardoning, a tense standoff between both sides happened in the New Ballville's harbor and a Civil War was averted after Tsar successfully negotiated with Sealand and Dan for 30 minutes; clearing up any misunderstandings. After the agreement between both sides, Dan stopped his terror campaign and formed the Fascist Party to try to become "Eternal Fuhrer" of the RoP.
=== Actions During the 4th LeftCo Government ===
After the right-wing Jedi Party won the 12th server elections, Wolos, who was now the leader of the Humanitarian Party, met with the liberal parties to make a Coalition Government to stop the Far-Right from keeping power. The Labour Party (who had the most votes in the Coalition) formed a coalition government with the SDP, Humanitarian, and Monarchist Parties. The new Prime Minister Britannia placed Tsar as State Security Minister, putting him in control of all military and intelligence assets. During this term, the Humanitarian Party signed many bills that improved New Ballville's infrastructure, expanded on his Separation of Powers Bill 
from September and co-wrote a law that introduced Provinces to the RoP, and passed much-needed external and internal reforms. The anti-spam law written in November was scrapped and replaced with a better version, the military and several police/intelligence agencies were established, and Skyscraper District (AKA Downtown) of the Capital was developed with stunning Skyscrapers. This term marked a new era of peace and stability, the longest period of time this was true: The Polynesian Golden Era began.
=== Actions During the 5th LeftCo Government ===
The exact same government as the 3rd LeftCo Government was re-elected to continue the Polynesian Golden Era, but many Cabinet positions were reshuffled. At first, Tsar was removed as State Security Minister but was later given the role back after Sealand became the RoP's first-ever Minister of Workers. During this time of Cabinet reshuffling, Tsar stayed as Deputy Prime Minister of the nation. Wolos was moved from the Minister of Infrastructure to the Minister of Finance (a role he shared until the Minister of Workers position was given to Sealand). The 4th LeftCo developed the nation's capital even further, advertising for the server was increased (a meme page too by Britannia), plans for a paid server host was discussed to fix lag issues, and the Leader of the Opposition (UNB) to work together on a law about Government Loans in efforts to ease left-right tensions. However, independence movements in Bluefield and Alberville gained a lot of traction which culminated in the Albertville War of Independence. The campaign was a success but the handling of the war was ridiculed by many in the RoP. In the end, Albertville gained independence soon after and Bluefield declared independence from the RoP following the stopping of bombardment over Albertville. The Government in this term started experiencing the steady decline of the Labour Party as shown by lower Government Poll numbers. 
=== Actions During the 6th LeftCo Government ===
To the outrage of the Far Left and Conservatives on June 3 2020, the Humanitarian Party accepted an invitation from the Labour Party to join them in a ruling coalition for the third time in a row; making this Labour Government the longest-spanning in RoP History. The controversy was sparked because Tsar promised that he would coalition with any party if they let him have the Minister of Finance position. Tsar decided to go woth Labour in the end due to them having more votes, despite the fact that the Humanitarian Party was starting to lose confidence in Britannia as a Prime Minister. The June term saw police reform and the introduction of price ceilings for certain items, along with continued development of the Capital to its peak state. Main Street was completed by Tsar's Broke Building LLC. which allowed for the massive expansion of housing and business properties. However, June was plagued by the ineffective Second Albertville War and the grief of Downtown New Ballville by Bluefield. The constant state of war and paralysis of the army due to timezone and manpower issues lead to record-low approval numbers for the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister but record-high numbers for the Cabinet. By the end of the term, however, the Kingdom of Albertville was in large scale decline with riots and rebellion throughout it. Additionally, Tsar passed an economic law which lead to the RoP out-competing Bluefield economically. However, this rebound would not last as the Second Snap reset the world and destroyed all progress once again.
=== July 3 Election & Merger With the SLP ===
The Humanitarian Party ran in its final election campaign on July 3, 2020 with high hopes of success following good approval in the Federal End-of-Term Poll. However, the Social Liberal Party (SLP) did significantly better and even made it into Government with the New Party. The SLP was a centre-left party and successfully took the mantle of "beacon of Centrism" from the Humanitarian in one attempt. Because of this, Tsar merged the Humanitarian Party with New Nethy's Social Liberal Party which continued the legacy of the Humanitarian Party's Centrist stances.
