The Imperialist Party, officially the Imperialist Party of the United States and later the Imperialist and Unionist Party of the American Empire was a new-alignment, center right political party of the United States of America between 2147 and 2118. It's precursor, the Imperialist Caucus, existed from 2140 to 2147. The Imperialist Party began as a central political party in the United States under Otto Cromwell before morphing into a totalitarian state owned party, eventually taking control of the United States. The Imperialist Party was the official political party of the American Empire and was the only permitted American political party between 2201 to 2215.
The Imperialist Party was abundantly successful during its existence winning every Presidential election a candidate participated in, and controlling the White House from 2149 until 2215 until the death of Thorton Echevarria. The Imperialist Party, while extremely authoritarian, was notably lacking in crimes against humanity that are common amongst other regimes of its style. The Party at it's height was extremely reluctant to employ control tactics that would lead to mass casualties. instead relaying on maintaining a massive surveillance state and severe crackdowns on freedom of speech with widespread arrests during it's latter years. As well the Imperialist Party was considered to be extremely paranoid with the idea of being seen as "illegitimate", and thus during their take over were careful not to violate constitutional protocols. The Party made sure to transform the United States into a one party state, slowly slashing away rights and protections during it's 60 year reign.
