### Length of Existence

September 24, 2019 - October 3, 2020

The Humanist Party was Wolo's (A.K.A. ColonelKai) first major political move in the RoP. The party was center-right but mainly a

one-issue party to develop infrastructure and technology in the Republic of Polandball (RoP, now called Republic of Polynesia). It participated in one election and later disbanded to form the Humanitarian Party with Independent Candidate Tsar. It is often called as the *Humanitarian Party*, sometimes even by its founder, often because of its extremely short existence and the poorly recorded part of history it existed in. Because of this, *Humanitarian Party* became a nickname for the party.

## **Party History**

### **Founding & Name Origins**

The Humanist Party was Wolo's first major political move. At the time, he did not care about most issues; instead wanting to focus on construction and technological advancements which were fields the RoP was largely ignoring during the wartime era the party found itself existing in. Kai chose the name "Humanist" to reflect how Wolos wanted to improve the conditions of individuals by Urbanization and Technological means. Interestingly enough, many times he'd call it the *Humanitarian Party* which confused many people.

### **Party History and Positions in the 10th LeftCo Government**

Wolos, the party's only member, held no special roles other than Member of Parliament (MP). This is due to the party getting 5th place in the September 24th 2019 elections. His party spent much of its time campaigning for the upcoming October 3 2019 election and criticizing the Government for not being active and neglecting the destroyed Capital from the 2nd and 3rd Great Griefs of the Capital. Colonel Corp. (Wolo's company) also widened Main Street in New Ballville by 1 block wider, following Tsar's reconstruction of the road with Broke Building LLC.

### **Disbanding and the Humanitarian Party**

A few days before the October 3 2020 Federal Elections, Tsar and Wolos discussed politics on Discord and found much common ground. Tsar, being discontented with ex-Prime Minister Hamburg's handling of the 2nd Great Grief of the Capital, wanted to join a party with people he trusted instead of being an Independent Candidate. Tsar and Wolos agreed to create a new party, called the Humanitarian Party, which expanded on the Humanist Party's platform to turn it into a major party with a multi-issue reform platform. Tsar would handle the political and Military policy of the party, while Wolos would lead the party and focus on the Humanist Party's original goals.

Although a minor party in the greater scheme of things, the Humanist Party's ideals influence Centrist politicians such as Tsar even until this day.
