**Factions**:

* Vasarites
* Stotfordian Supremacists

The **Stotfordian Socialist Interests Alliance** (Elladan: **Stotfordian Symmachía Sosialistikón Symferónton;** Luari: **Alliance des intérêts socialistes stotfordiens**; Astellian: **Alianza Stotfordiana de Intereses Socialistas**), or **SSIA** (Elladan: **SSSS**; Luari **AISS**; Astellian: **ASIS**) was a political coalition of Stotfordian minority interests parties. It was independent from the Social Solidarity Ordinance Party, though both shared strong relationships with one another. The SSIA has 3 local headquarters with 1 in Tabrad, Holney, and Bambelister. Though having a miniscule Vasarite faction compared to the Social Solidarity Ordinance Party, the coalition was banned on the 25 of Old Earth, 105;2E, as part of a larger ban-wave on Stotfordian nationalist extremism.

## History

### Separation from the SSOP

*Main Article: Social Solidarity Ordinance Party*

The SSIA stems from the big-tent faction of the Social Solidarity Ordinance Party, a Stotfordian political party and a broad electoral alliance of Stotfordian nationalists from both sides of the political spectrum. Tensions rose following the SSOP's refusal to moderate it's platform for nationwide use. The SSIA was at the time, a caucus of the SSOP in Stotford's Autonomous Council, but it split off from the SSOP to form itself as a nationwide political party to represent Stotfordians outside of Stotford.

## Ideology

### Stotfordian Socialism

*Main Article: Stotfordian Socialism*

Stotfordian Socialism has been a traditional doctrine of Stotfordian politics long before Stotford's admission into Southambia. Stotfordian Socialism is considered a mix of conservatism, and economic socialism. Stotfordian Socialism was adopted by the SSIA to encourage Stotfordian voters living outside of Stotford to vote for the SSIA instead of it's opposition. These attempts were largely unsuccessful, and the SSIA is still a fringe party in many parts of Southambia. Stotfordian Socialism has always been considered the core doctrine of Stotfordian politics, and Stotfordian interests, as it has only been practiced in Stotford.

### Stotfordian Interests

Stotfordian Interests was adopted by the SSIA as one of its' two core principles, the other being Stotfordian Socialism. Stotfordian interests is a controversial ideology as it encourages radical political, social, and economic change to make members of the Stotfordian race equal to those of Luari, or Astellian descent. Stotfordian interests includes the redistribution of wealth from affluent Luari and Astellian individuals to poor Stotfordians, the redistribution of land, equal Stotfordian participation in provincial politics, and equal expression of Stotfordian religion and beliefs. These are considered doctrines of modern Stotfordian Socialism, but have been considered more, or less core doctrines of Stotfordian Interests instead as traditional Stotfordian Socialism was not influenced by Southambian politics, and thus did not include radical changes to the status quo.
