Loyalist

**Loyalist**, or **Loyalism**, or **Conservative Loyalists**, is the term used to describe Conservative Extremists, and Terrorists in Southambia. The term came to prevalence during the First Southambian Civil War when the anti-government faction called themselves the Conservative Loyalists. Since then, the term has been used to describe post-Civil War groups such as The Answer, or the Southambian National Guard. The term has also been used as a derogatory term for Conservatives as a whole, seeing frequent use in Tabrad, and Bambelister. The origin of the term is relatively unknown and is thought to have stemmed from the time of the Magistracy of Richard Nickson, when groups aligned with Nickson called themselves Loyalists.

## History

### Origins

The origins of the usage of "Loyalist" to describe ultraconservatives derives from the Magistracy of Richard Nickson, when groups that were aligned and followed Nickson called themselves Loyalists.

### Modern Use

#### The Answer

*Main Article: The Answer*

The Answer was formed in early 90;2E, sometime after the dissolution of the Southambian National Guard, which was mostly composed of Loyalists. The Answer quickly became the largest loyalist group, surpassing a membership of over 5,000. Less than a week following it's formation, it instigated the Loyalist Insurgency.

##### Confederation Agreement

*Main Article: Confederation Agreement*

The Confederation Agreement is considered by many living in Tabrad, Bambelister, and other progressives provinces, a loyalist organisation. Though Loyalism does not have an exact definition, no Loyalist group has ever expressed secessionist ideas, and likewise have never supported any notion. Despite this, several historians and professors alike still use the Confederation as an example of Loyalist organisations.
