==Political parties==
===Republican Party===
The Republican Party, commonly reffered to as the Republicans, is a right-centre conservative party and one of the two dominant political forces in Mawbol's parliament. The party was founded for the first parliamentary elections in 1855, which it would win with a strong majority. This began the seven decade long period of Republican domination over Mawbol, which would only be broken in the 1930s. The party still maintains a strong position in the parliament and remains the main opponent to the progressive Democratic National Party.
===Democratic National Party===
The Democratic National Party, commonly reffered to as the National Democrats or Democratic Nationals, is a centre-left progressive party and one of the two domininant political forces in Mawbol's parliament. The party was 
===Provincial Unity Party===
The Provincial Unity Party was a party in Mawbol that was in support of granting the individual provinces more powers. The party disbanded soon after the second Mawbol parliamentary election after a terrible election result, most of it's members joining either the Republican Party or the Democratic National party.
===Free Democratic Party===
The Free Democratic Party is a libertarian, progressive party in Mawbol. It is a minor party, being founded at the start of the republic. The party has never reached major success, remaining below 20 seats in parliament for all of it's history.
===Free Union of Workers===
The Free Union of Workers is a social democratic, progressive party in Mawbol. It is a minor party, being founded at the start of the republic, with no intent of adopting any ideology and simply spreading the words of the workers. The party has never reached major success, remaining below 20 seats in parliament for all of it's history.
===Union of Mawbols===
The Union of Mawbols was an ultranationalistic, racially based party in Mawbol that was active during the middle of the 20th century in opposition to the national democrat reforms which granted the Messer natives equal rights and citizenship. After it's turn to terrorism and race violence in the 40s, the party was banned and its members arrested. Afterwards the party kept up a branch in exile but was eventually desolved in the early 60s. The Union of Mawbols never gained major electoral success and popular support, never gaining above 10 seats in any parliamentary elections.
The party was formed on August 16th, 1937 by Sir Jack Miller and Walter Stonebridge, aswell as multiple other rightwing politicians, most previously having been members of the Republican Party. They had formed the party as an answer to the "radical" reforms carried out by Democratic National Party, mainly being suspicious of the natives and what they would do with their new rights, fearing a native rebellion or coup against the ethnically Neuverian lead government of Mawbol. Historian Henry Wallmore Morison commented on this in his 1986 book "The Union of Mawbols: The Last Fight and Fall of the Mawbol Farright", saying that "The Union of Mawbols was, by intention, designed not as a true party, but more an armed organization, a political militant group. It was made for the sole purpose of standing against the current government and their liberal policies, their acceptance of natives into the society of Mawbol and their seemingly deep regret for the actions of previous governments towards the natives. While the Republicans simply sat in their benches and complained about it in the halls of parliament, the men who founded the Union of Mawbols had a completely different plan for dealing with this issue. They were going to use whatever it took, from protests to riots, from riots to rebellion, to force their will and their words upon and straight into the ears of parliament, the ears of the National Democrats. They saw no limits in what they could do, for to them it wasn't a issue, a "could do" and "couldn't do" didn't exist to them, only a simple "have to do". It wasn't a political party or campaign group, it was a militant organisation made by the farright and racists of Mawbol to express their beliefs by any means necessary. And that was exactly what they would do."
On August 24th, a group of four men met in the city square of Ikrayia at night, talking for about an hour before heading down to the local pub. After entering the pub, they would go up to the counter, suddenly pulling out multiple pistols and yelling "DIE FAKE MAWBOL SCUM!" at the bartender, shooting him to death. Then one of them would quickly throw multiple lit matches behind the counter while the rest of them shot at other people in the bar, escaping just as the bar began to set on fire. Around 16 people would die in the attack, with 9 more sustaining major injuries, also including two people from a house next to the bar, as they had been sleeping at the time when the fire began and couldn't escape in time, suffocating from all the smoke. The following day, three of the four men responsible for the attack would be arrested and interrogated, leading to the sudden discovery that the incident was related to the Union of Mawbols. This would only be the first of many attacks by members of the party on pro-National Democrat establishments and citizens, forcing the police to stay on high alert all around the country.
At around 10:40 on January 19th, 1938 in Mondale, a group of men dressed in red suits entered the Mondale Post Office, suddenly pulling out guns on the workers and ordering them to destroy any letters heading to native towns. After the workers refused, a fight broke out, with Mondale police soon arriving and attempting to fight off the men, being forced to kill all of them. At 11:00 AM, when the fight was coming to end, the police officers were suddenly informed that the police station of the city had been stormed by around 20 men carrying explosives and that they had captured all police men who had stayed at the station, placing their explosives all over the building in important rooms and boarded up the entrance to the station. Quickly rushing to it, the police officers attempted to break through the boards, having paint thrown on their heads by the criminals. By 11:25 AM, police units from the entire city would arrive to surround the police station, prompting the attackers to set off the bombs before killing themselves, making the entire building blow up and be destroyed, throwing rubble onto the massive amount of police men outside, killing many. All together, 52 people would die in the attack, including every single one of the attackers, while roughly 30 more spent multiple weeks to years in hospital recovering from injuries. The attack would lead the Mawbol government to temporarily arrest the leaders of the Union of Mawbols and declare it a terrorist organisation, not allowing it to run in any upcoming elections.
By 1939, the party began to realize it's currently plan would not work, so a meeting of the highest party members took place in Kingland on March 2nd. The meeting would be attended by James Monroe Phaley, Binder Riches and Walter Stonebridge, with Sir Jack Miller unable to attend due to being in prison at the time still. After 3 hours of discussion, a new plan would be formalized, moving the main base of operations to Eastern Mawbol, as there was a large conservative population there that would most likely join the party and it's attacks on liberals. The Mawbol government wouldn't take long to catch on to this, increasing police activity in the typical ignored east to catch any UoM members. During the middle of the day in Henryvill on April 11th, police would spot multiple suspicious men walking through the city with suitcases, handing out leaflets to people. After checking one of the leaflets, the suspiciouns of the police men would be confirmed, pointing towards the suspicous men being members of the Union of Mawbols. Police would quickly chase after the men, leading them to the train station, where a train had just come in. The UoM members, desperate, would board the train and start a shootout with the crew, hijacking the train and driving away. As the train drove away, the locomotive would be entered by armed police officers, resulting in another shootout, with police managing to almost retake the train. In desperation, one of the still consious hijackers would manage to lift the train off the rails, derailing it into the local countryside at straight into a farm, the train stopping half-inside a barn. Two of the hijiackers would manage to escape, the rest either having died or sustained too major injuries to move, being arrested. Just a week later, the major leaders of the UoM would be arrested, temporarily leaving the party without stable leadership.
Following the arrest of party leadership, the UoM would begin to slowly lose members, while the 1940 elections were nearing closer and closer. Finally by around October, the leaders of the organisation had either been released or managed to escape from prison, holding a meeting in a cáfe in Marannia on October 24th, 1939 to discuss their further strategy, the main question being the elections. They would come up with a plan to boycott them, spreading lefleats around to conservatives and people on the far-right calling for them to not partake in the "rigged anti-democratic elections aimed at stealing our freedom". It would somewhat work, with 7.3% less of the population going to vote as a direct result of the campaign, an achievement for the UoM, though a small one. For the following years, the party would mainly go underground, trying to secretly find support for a new plan it's leaders had come up with. Finally on January 15th, 1943, most major party members would meet up in Partland to discuss the coming plan, this time aimed at the banking class of Mawbol, by the Union of Mawbols considered as rich snobs due to their support for the "liberal native regime", as it was called by the Union of Mawbols. By the end of the day, they would have the basics of the plan, a heist of the Yellowia Central Bank fleshed out, beginning a search for people willing to carry it out on behalf of the organisation. The date for the heist would be set to be on April 13th, 1943.
At 5:50 AM on April 13th, a small black car would drive up to the Yellowia Central Bank, standing still next to the building for 10 minutes. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard as the car exploded on the street, the driver's body being thrown out of the car, landing face first onto the ground and covering it in blood. Then events would follow quickly, with around 16 armed men appearing out of nowhere and quickly moving on the bank, breaking open the front door and moving in, where they would be met by security staff. The battle was short, with security staff being overwhelmed and shot, allowing the attackers to quickly take control of the bank and quickly make a makeshift replacement front door, holding the bank hostage as police units arrived to the scene and surrounded it. Police would attempt to break in, being shot at from almost every window in the building and even by a sniper on the roof, while three of the men quickly put all the money they could into large bags, totalling around 3.2 million Fardi, and rushing out of the building through the back exit, driving away in another black car to the city port. The bank siege would continue for 34 more minutes, ending after a violent police breakin and the murder of every attacker inside, with the sniper commiting suicide by jumping off the building. Suddenly, smoke began coming from one of the rooms, with the bank quickly lit up in flames as police officers rushed out in panic and horror. Fire engines would quickly arrive to the scene, attempting to put out the fire, managing to save the west side of the bank from burning down completely. Meanwhile, the black car had arrived to port while under chase by two police units, the suspects quickly getting on board a large ship with as much of the money as they could before police arrived, with the vessel only being caught a week later near Jamestown, though it would be also set on fire and sink to the sea floor, with most of the money burning up aswell. A investigation would quickly be started, with all clues quickly leading the police straight to the UoM, which admited their guilt publically in newspapers before making their swift escape to Bardalia, where they would hide until 1946. The fallout of the heist would be massive, as this was the first time ever such a thing had happened in Mawbol history, with the government placing a bounty of the leaders of the organisation.
In late 1945, the party leadership would meet up in a border town near Mawbol and discuss their future plans, deciding to return to Mawbol in disguise the next year for an idea they had. Following their return in February of 1946, unimportant party members would found the Mawbol National Unity Party and attempt to gather support for a presidential bid in the 1950 elections, though they were actually controlled by the UoM and told what they had to do. The MNUP would gather some support, though not enough, by the election season, forcing the UoM to begin a paramilitary campaign against liberal areas of the country, trying to intimidate them into not voting. This would backfire, with the organisation found out and it's leaders forced once more to flee into Bardalia, while the MNUP would manage to survive a few more months and run in the elections before eventually being found out as a UoM puppet and having all it's members arrested. To the leadership of the Union of Mawbols, this had proved that the "leftist liberal native establishment and regime" was strongly against any rightist ideology and was out to silence them, leading the UoM to adopt even more nationalist and far-right ideals, while supporting smaller militant fascist organisations in Mawbol, leading to increased suicide attacks and campaigns against liberal neighbourhoods during the first half of the 50's, leading to around 342 people having died by 1956. By that year, most alt-right militant activists in Mawbol had been arrested or killed, leaving the UoM with no way to influence to politics in the country. This would finally force the organisation's leaders to return in 1957, where they would begin planning new attacks on liberal politicians and the government, though none of these would ever come about, as most of the party leaders were captured in 1959 in a police raid on their HQ in North Rakul City. With no stable power base, the party would begin to disintegrate, completely falling apart after the execution of multiple prominent figures in the party in 1963, having dissolved itself by the end of the 60's.
