The Democratic Labour Party of Kodiak

# For a Better Tomorrow

We are committed to providing support to the working class, reestablishing law and order in our streets, and protecting national sovereignty and identity through rigorous but fair immigration processes.

## Policies

### Supporting our Police

Crime is a serious threat to the Kodiak’s sovereignty and safety to the yeeclack citizens. Mobs, riots, and protests pose a serious threat to law abiding, working citizens. The DLPK vows to end this and reclaim our streets in a swift and peaceful manner. We believe that more funding needs to be pumped into the justice system to incarcerate criminals and keep our people safe, whilst protecting peoples’ right to free speech and to peacefully assemble.

### Protecting Our Environment

Our environment is in imminent danger, and the DLPK believes we must take an active legislative role in slowing the effects of climate change. Our party is committed to protecting the integrity of our ecosystems and environment to ensure that we will not deplete them of their natural beauty. We’re also committed to setting regulatory measures in place to limit our carbon footprint.

### Immigration

The DLPK believes in strong borders and a rigorous but fair immigration system. Our goals with this system are as follows: protecting national sovereignty and culture, maintaining higher wages for our working class, and ensuring that human smuggling and other trafficking is brought to an end. Strong but fair, a just immigration process.

### Universal Healthcare

With the ongoing pandemic, we have all realized how important healthcare is to everyone. That’s why the DLPK believes effective and affordable healthcare should be provided for all. Citizens living in poverty do not have access to basic medical needs - acetaminophen, insulin, asthma respirators, chemotherapy, etc. Healthcare for allensures that no citizen will be left behind because of an inability to pay.

### Fighting for Our Workers

Worker’s rights are our foremost concern. We will help to ensure that workers and employers have an equal voice in negotiations and provide workers the opportunity toseek to improve their living and working conditions. Through state-funded employment programs, and representing the interests of workers unions across our nation, we will increase the quality of life for all workers.

### Accessible Education

Education will be the key to Kodiak’s success for generations to come, and to manifest that belief, we must make sure that our educational resources are available to any student willing to put the work in to excel. The DLPK will do all it can to fund state-scholarships, grants, and bursaries to ensure that any student that takes their education seriously will be able to continue their educational journey in College or University.

Gustave Bernier

## Characters

Born in 623 in Rykkburg, Gustave Bernier was raised in the capital city where he spent most of his time reading and writing political theory. Originally educated as a sociologist at the State University of Rykkburg, he discovered in 643 the joys of protest alongside the Kodiak Worker's Party. Gustave was eventually chosen as Minister in charge of Education in 647 but had to resign after medical issues.

In 649, Gustave Bernier decided to quit The Kodiak Workers' Party and create Generation.e, an eco-socialist movement to fight against the unipolarity of Kodiak's political landscape after the progressive of traditional parties such as the The National Unity Party.
New United Economy and Trade for Kodiak

We believe that the only true way to achieve a perfect form of Government is for all the citizens of the Kodiak Republic to come together and give up their possessions to the government and to vote for one small, centralized Government that will keep you safe and that will provide an equal opportunity to all the citizens of the Kodiak Republic.

This way no one person has too much, no person has too little, and everyone is seen upon as equals by those chosen to protect and to serve us. We are focused on providing an equal opportunity to all citizens of the Kodiak Republic so that they may choose how they would like to live their lives, we strive to expand our economy so that we may have more to give to our people and we strive to make education and housing readily available to all families in the Kodiak Republic as soon as possible.

If chosen, we would partially-divert funding to diplomatic matters and to the courts of the Kodiak Republic so that all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law, and we would crack down on corruption so that our citizens can put their faith in us. Our philosophies and beliefs are best represented by the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

The National Unity Party

# Tradition, Stability, Liberty

Kodiak is a land of many rich histories, traditions, and cultures. We represent the broad spectrum of the every-man that is affected by the crisis our land is facing. We must combat these issues together but without sacrificing our Kodiaker identify and principals.

The National Unity Party can trace its lineage back into the Bromanikan dynasty through its predecessor organiza-tions, The College of Merchants and the Conservative Association. With members of the party being elected to both the House of Commons and representation in the Royal Council.

With the fall of the monarchy, civil war, and national re-birth, the former parties eventually merged into the Unity Movement which aligned the various regional conservative and monarchist movements under a single banner.

The party has rebranded in recent years to become the National Unity Party with concentration on Center-Right policies to improve the Republic.

### Setting the Conditions

Since the Revolution and the ensuring instability, our citizens have been able to fully innovate their true potential. We, the National Unity Party, seek to create the model environment for the individual citizen to prosper and create a better tomorrow.

In order to create our model of success, the National Unity Party seeks to remove destabilizing elements affecting the Republic both internally and externally while also fueling investment into the micro-economic front.

To accomplish this, the party will explore a heighten defense spending priority with additional bills to solidify legal processes and national police authorities to counter domestic terrorists. Some examples of NUP policies to bring about our changes in the future.

* National Defense Reserve Act– Passed 639
* The Water Act of 641 - Passed 641
* National Defense Authorization Act - Passed 643
* Small Business Investment Resolutions
* Kodiak public works bills.
* Stability And Freedom Enhacement Act - In the General Assembly

## Policy

### National Defense

Our nation must be able to protect itself from hostile powers in the region. Greater expansion of our defense capabilities is needed to reaffirm our national sovereignty.

### Economics

# Characters

### Early life and education

Oskar Luchens was born on 3 November 588, in the Principality of Atlantica, to a pair of civil servants of the then independent monarchy. His hometown is the capital at Pendragon which remained as the Atlantican capital following its union with the Kodiak Republic. His father was a former District-Captain in the Atlantican police and later instructor of criminal justice at Prince Albrecht University in Grafton. Luchens' mother started as a clerk for the Atlantican Postal Express and later as a manager of the Grafton Postal Exchange. Oskar Luchens would go on to enroll in the Central Military Academy in Rykkburgh before commissioning into the Kodiaker Army. He recieved an undergrad degree in history during his time at the academy.

### Military and Political Career

Mr. Luchens was stationed predominantly within the 10th Mechanized Division during his service and saw action in minor conflicts with former member states of the Bromanikan Kingdom prior to their inclusion in the Kodiak Republic. After promotion to Major, he attended Command and General Staff college in Rykkburgh and was selected as a General Staff candidate. Next MAJ Luchens attended graduate school through Kodiak State University and completed a Masters in International Relations. Mr. Luchens spent his final assignments obtaining his doctorate in Defense and Strategic Studies from the Army War College and finally as commander of 6th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base San Chico having reached the rank of Colonel.

Mr Luchens was elected to the Atlantican House of Deputies in his first election replacing the aging Albrecht von Battenberg who had been a mentor during his military service. Following a series of successful reelections to the House of Deputies, he again won election to replace Albrecht von Battenburg as the Atlantican representative to the Kodiak General Assembly, although this was the result of an armed assassination attempt on the Chancellor's life. Mr. Luchens is the sponsor and writer of several bills to the General Assembly including the recent Water Act of 641, as well as the National Defense Reserve Act of 641.

Additionally he is the founder of the National Unity Party he is currently the leader of.

### Political Philosophy

Mr. Luchens has long advocated for a centralized government approach to dealing with multiple crises in the Republic. Government-Corporate cooperation is key to focusing the strength of private capital to benefiting the state. Mr. Luchens has a known history of advocating for increased defense spending and is likely to maintain this position in the wake of recent actions by The Great North. On the topic of environmental issues, he has stated publicly his support of protecting and increasing Kodiak's preserved forest and undeveloped lands. It is expected that Mr. Luchens will likely take a series of hardline policies against domestic terrorist groups and other internal unrest given his past history.
