**Centre Union** *(Zvaz Centrystov in Korolian)* is a major centrist political party in Korolia. It's nominally centrist, however leaning slightly to the right, making it a centre-right party, with ideologies such as liberal conservatism prevalent.

## Ideology

The Centre Union position on the political spectrum is best described as centre to centre-right, with the most prevalent ideologies being liberal conservatism and social liberalism, but other ideas include mixed economy, classical liberalism, conservative democracy, and a plethora of other centrist and centre-right ideologies.

Centre Union also mostly supports the second reunification with the Second Svalmarc Imperium, following the collapse of the reunified Korolian Republic 2 years into its existence.

## History

### The Beginnings

The beginnings of the Centre Union are dated back to 1087 ACA, specifically the total disaster that the first elections in Korolian Republic turned out to be. After the elections set the country on fire, with the Electoral Commitee effectively failing in it's role terribly, and the subsequent chaos, re-secession of Second Svalmarc Imperium, the military coup resulting in the foundation of the temporary Militarily Administered States of Korolia under General Vanja Mlecak.

The elections caused the cracks in the League of Korolian Patriots, a party so wide in ideas, ranging from centre-right liberal conservatives to the far-right nationalists, and the Alliance of Social Democrats to widen, and become outright rifts.

The "party separatists" from both ASD and LKP, for ASD ideologically mainly social democrats and social liberals, and for LKP mainly liberal conservatives began to cooperate in secret, effectively marking the beginning of the Centre Union.

### The Organization

While the party idea was born in 1087, it took time before it took off, and the real shape of the Centre Union, was determined in late 1089 and 1090. That's when the Founders' Council, the predecessor to the Leadership Council, began actually deciding on how the party will look like. Out of many names the Centre Party was picked, and the logo was soon made too, by the spring everything was ready to take off.

However, the planned huge "Launch Convention" would delay for a variety of factors. It allowed the New Korolian Front, another centrist, third way party to enter talks about merging into the Centre Party, which were short and successful, as by Heicane it was already integrated. By that point, the media already made the party known, with many politicians themselves speaking up about the progress on the CP, and its ideas.

By late Tardalan the rushed decision was made to slightly rebrand into the Centre Union.

### The Launch Convention

The Launch Convention was ultimately held in the fall of the year, on the 8th of Luyander 1090 (08/11/1090). During it, the party's program, The Fresh 90s was determined, and also a very important, though fruitless so far, debate on the LKP coalition took place. By that time, the party also officially made it's first appearance to the public.

## Headquarters

The Centre Union is headquartered in Lipanovo-Ostrokochod at Ostra Street 1, just next to the 3rd Reserve Brigade Bridge.
