Aukustian People's Interest Party

The **Aukustian People's Interest Party**, often shortened to APIP, (*Aukustian; Akustičnih Stranka Interesna Buisjić, ASIB)* is a far-right political party active in Aukustia since the end of the Moshka War. The APIP emerged from the political interests of the ethnically Aukustian militias who waged an insurgency against Joseon during the Moshka War, however has evolved to enjoy support from large sections of the country. The APIP focuses on anti-Joseonitism, Bolish supremacy, & Geobolism in its political strategy. The party was founded by Mojsije Despotović, and is currently lead by Nenad Sabić.

### **History**

The APIP was founded by veteran guerillas of the Moshka War, whose anti-Joseonitism was amplified by their experiences during the conflict.

### **Policies**

The core of APIP belief is that Aukustians need to come together as a nation to expell Joseon from Changbuk (Joseon's final continental province) in what would be the "ultimate victory;" a final, decisive blow to Joseon, which would cement Aukustian supremacy and end the hundreds of years of Aukustian-Joseonite rivalry. The APIP believes that Aukustians, and Bols as a whole, are superior to the other peoples of the world, and thus are more deserving of its land & resources.

The APIP seeks to do this through empowering the state & removing any constitutional opposition to their own power. Due to this, the APIP is highly statist, with desires expressed to want to eliminate the power of essentially all none state entities.

Economically, the APIP is highly interventionist, wanting to take full control of the economy in order to direct it to the whims of the national Aukustian interest. While the APIP is not necessarily opposed to capitalism, they are vehemently against "globalist liberalism," which they believe has begun to rot the foundations of Aukustian society through the introduction of foreign products & ideals. The APIP is anti-socialist, as they categorize socialism as another foreign idea which goes against Konseptiyan values; to them, the class struggle is a materialist & hedonistic goal, contrary to the wishes of the whole of the Aukustian nation. Despite this, the APIP supports a limited welfare system, which they wish to utilize to build a stronger economic foundation upon which the Aukustian culture could lie.

The APIP is highly against immigration, and has consistently voted against citizenship for non-Aukustian residents. The APIP wishes to implement a fully religious educational system, which would focus more on the pursuit of good, *savrenštvo* attributes, and the study of Aukustian culture & history. The APIP wishes to uphold the King as an Aukustian cultural icon, however wants to keep him out of political power. Diplomatically, the APIP believes Aukustia should become more connected to the other Bolish nations of the world.

### **International Affiliation**

The international affiliations of the APIP are managed by its foreign affairs wing.

### **Supporters**

The APIP is the second largest party in Aukustia in terms of parliamentary representation, with 62 seats, however actually holds the highest count for registered party members, at ~450,000 members, roughly 10% of the Aukustian voting population. In the early days of the APIP, it was almost a party almost exclusive to the Moshka region; intense campaigning & a general shift to a broader political base by Sabić has expanded the party into a national powerhouse. The party enjoys much more support from rural, traditional areas. The APIP also gains broad support from many current & former military personnel, especially veterans of the Moshka War, many of whom were probably present in the party's early days. Certain churches have also begun to affiliate themselves with the APIP

### **A.P.A.M.**

The **Aukustian People's Armed Movement**, often shortened to APIP (*Aukustian; Akustičnih Stranka Vorztrenjič Pokret, ASVP*), is the official paramilitary wing of the APIP. The APAM is actually older than the APIP, with the party being formed from its veteran members at the end of the Moshka War. The APAM is in charge of providing security for APIP rallies and meetings, while also intimidating political opponents of the party.
