The Sylvan Party (SP) is a centrist political party that operates exclusively in the Craftian Island Territories. It is one of the three major parties in CIT politics, the others being the centre-left United Progressive Party and the right-wing People's Nationalist Alliance (PNA). The party is generally referred to as conservative-liberal and centrist, and advocates strongly for free markets. It is named after the adjective sylvan, meaning 'heavily wooded' or 'rural', to emphasise its agrarian and green liberal ideology. It is currently serving as the senior partner in a coalition government with the PNA, since the 2068 general election. The party previously formed government from 2047 to 2053 and 2054 to 2056.
The party's current leader is Martin Baffin, since 13 June 2061. He has been Chief Minister since 24 August 2068.
