Reform Party (Estland)

The **Reform Party** (Estian: *Reformierakond*, **RE**) is a liberal political party in Estland. First established in 1992, the party is currently the third-largest party represented in the Saadikutemaja. It is affiliated with the Eurean Party of Liberal Democrats.

The party was founded in June 1992 by Teemo Piilupeks, following a split with the liberal conservative Estland National Party. After its formation, the party established itself as the premier liberal political party in Estland, supporting both social and fiscal liberal policies. As of 2021, the party has approximately 8,760 registered members. The Reform Party typically finds most of its support from educated, wealthy older voters in cities and affluent suburbs, although recently the party has also seen increasing support from younger, urban professionals.

## Political positions

The Reform Party has been described by observers as a liberal party. On a left-to-right political spectrum, most observers categorize the Reform Party as centrist, although a minority of individual members may affiliate more with the center-right.

The Reform Party believes that liberty should be the paramount value in a functioning democracy. Due to this, they take liberal stances on both fiscal and social issues. In fiscal policy, the Reform Party supports drastically lowering taxes and emphasizing the free market. Some party members support a 0% income and corporate tax rate, while others support solely minimal taxation. The party also wants to drastically cut down the Estian social safety net and lower social spending, as they do not believe the government should be involved in this business and that personal responsibility and education should be prioritized instead of social welfare programs.

The Reform Party also believes in social liberalism, and considers social liberalism to be essential to the party platform. They support the legalization of same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, abortion, prostitution, and the usage of drugs, as they do not believe that it is the government's place to interfere in the livlihoods of its citizens. Some members of the party may have more moderate social beliefs, such as supporting regulation on prostitution and drug usage for the safety of the population. The party also supports strong foreign relations with key trading partners, and believes that Estland should maintain an active role in international affairs.

Île-de-Marone

**Île-de-Marone** (Ditrovian: *Isle of Marone*) is a region of Marone, located in central Marone. Modern-day Île-de-Marone roughly overlaps with the entirety of the historic province of Bonnot and city of Delmas, in addition to portions of the historic provinces of Cartois, Châtillon, Moutarde, and Aleiry. Sometimes referred to as the *region delmasienne* ("Delmas region"), the region is coterminous with the Delmas metropolis.

The region was formed in 1845, following the establishment of the regions. Île-de-Marone has a population of 12.7 million residents, making it the most-populous region in Marone. Its prefecture is Delmas, which is also the largest city in the region and the national capital of Marone. The region consists of nine departments: Auberlon, Bazalgette, Bonté, Hauts-de-Maré, Maré-et-Nommes, Tord, Val-de-Nommes, Yasonne, and Delmas, which holds a special status as both a department and *commune*.

## Government

### Administrative divisions

Like other regions of metropolitan Marone, Île-de-Marone is divided into departments. There are nine departments in Île-de-Marone: Auberlon, Bazalgette, Bonté, Delmas, Hauts-de-Maré, Maré-et-Nommes, Tord, Val-de-Nommes, and Yasonne.
Soilly-sur-Maré

**Soilly-sur-Maré** (Ditrovian: *Soilly on Maré*) is a commune in the department of Hauts-de-Maré, located in the region of Île-de-Marone. It is part of the southwestern suburbs of Delmas.

As of 2021, the commune has a population of approximately 46,720 residents. Soilly-sur-Maré is considered to be one of the wealthiest suburbs of Delmas, and one of the wealthiest communes in Marone.
Shinois (Tahare)

***Shinois*** are a Helonesian ethnic group in Tahare. As the Maronan census does not ask residents about their race or ethnicity, there is no official count of how many *Shinois* reside in Tahare, but estimations identify 2% of the Taharian population identifying as *Shinois*, totaling approximately 16,751 people.

In Tahare, *Shinois* refers to Taharian residents of Helonesian ancestry. While the word *chinois* translates to Shinese in Maronan, in Tahare *Shinois* is used to refer to anyone of Helonsian ancestry, not solely Shinese ancestry. However, the term does not include those of Tirian ancestry, whom are instead referred to as *Pondiches* or *Zaros*. Low levels of Helonesian immigration to Tahare began in the 19th-century, with Shino-Vorellian men arriving in Tahare to begin businesses after completing apprenticeships with family members. Later in the century, some Shinese indentured servants were contracted to work as construction workers in Tahare. However, Helonesian immigration did not become significant until the 1950s, when high levels of Shinese, Esmanese, Lavorian, and Nurmese immigrants began arriving in Tahare, immigrating for economic reasons. The *Shinois* went on to create a prominent business class in Tahare, with many developing careers as successful businesspeople and joining the Taharian elite class. Helonesian immigration to Tahare began to decline in the 1980s, amidst stricter immigration restrictions being enacted by the Maronan government.

Most *Shinois* adhere to traditional religious beliefs as practiced in their home countries, and have built up small religious communities of their own within Tahare. Many *Shinois* also identify as atheists, agnostics, or irreligious. For immigrants, their native languages, such as Shinese languages, Esmanese, Lavorian, and Nurmese, often remain their primary languages, although for creoles – those born on the island – these languages have largely fallen out of use and have been replaced by Maronan and Taharian Creole. In modern-day Tahare, *Shinois* are commonly considered to be amongst the most economically prosperous in Tahare, along with *Pondiches*, with many pursuing careers as businesspeople, doctors, and lawyers.
Miss Hautes-Robinelles

**Miss Hautes-Robinelles** is a Maronan beauty pageant which selects a representative from the region of Hautes-Robinelles for the Miss Marone pageant. The pageant has been held annually since 1934.

The current Miss Hautes-Robinelles is Chloé Rouelle, who was crowned Miss Hautes-Robinelles 2023 on 16 September 2023.

## Qualification

Contestants qualify for Miss Hautes-Robinelles by participating in and placing high enough in a departmental pageant. There are six departmental pageants for Miss Hautes-Robinelles, each corresponding with the departments of Hautes-Robinelles:

* Miss Barn
* Miss Barn-et-Gastonne
* Miss Churne
* Miss Haute-Gastonne
* Miss Got
* Miss Variège

In each departmental pageant, the winner and first runner-up qualify for Miss Hautes-Robinelles, resulting in 12 candidates qualifying each year.

If a departmental titleholder does not win Miss Hautes-Robinelles and wishes to compete again, she may petition the Miss Hautes-Robinelles Committee; if the petition is accepted, the departmental pageant will only qualify its winner and not the first runner-up, to ensure equal representation across departments. As a result, only one candidate per department may opt to return each year. Petitions must be filed prior to the date of the departmental pageant, or they will not be accepted. Departmental first runners-up who compete at Miss Hautes-Robinelles are not eligible to petition, and must compete in their departmental pageant again if they wish to return to Miss Hautes-Robinelles.
Télé Delmas

***Télé Delmas*** is a Maronan weekly television magazine, which was first circulated in 1956.

## Content

### Miss Marone

Since 2006, *Télé Delmas* has made predictions as to who will win Miss Marone in their annual Miss Marone edition of the magazine, released typically the week before the pageant is held in December. The magazine has received widespread attention for accurately predicting all but one winner of Miss Marone since beginning its predictions in 2006, with the *Télé Delmas* predictions becoming widely publicized every year as a method of determining the likely frontrunners.

The success of *Télé Delmas* predictions has led observers to theorize whether their predictions are truly accurate, or if viewers are more likely to vote for candidates after reading that they were predicted to win by *Télé Delmas*. This had led to inclusion in the *Télé Delmas* predictions being a highly sought-after badge of honor for pageant contestants.
Tüsamaa Parish

**Tüsamaa Parish** (Estian: *Tüsamaakari*) is a rural municipality of Estland. Situated in northwestern Otesalu County, Tüsamaa Parish directly borders the capital city of Otesalu, and is considered one of Otesalu's primary bedroom communities. As of 2021, the municipality has a population of approximately 53 thousand residents.

Tüsamaa Parish is commonly regarded in Estian popular culture as the wealthiest municipality in the country, and the home of some of the nation's most elite and powerful people. Many localities within the municipality include large seaside estates, and the municipality has the highest median net worth amongst its residents in the entire country.

## Municipal government

Each rural municipality is led by a municipal government. Voters elect members of the municipal council every two years. The municipal council is the most important part of the municipal government, and they are responsible for overseeing various services run by the municipality, such as schools, sanitation, and utilities. The municipal council additionally elects one of its own to serve as mayor, a largely ceremonial role, and appoints a member of the county council.

The mayor has a similar function to a ceremonial head of state. As they are always a member of the municipal council, they have legislative powers, but their vote is not weighted any more heavily than its other members. Besides this, their primary functions are to act as a representative of the municipality and a local personality who serves as a liaison between the public and the government. Since 2014, the mayor of Tüsamaa Parish has been Astrid Võsu.

## Settlements

### Towns

There are two towns located in Tüsamaa Parish: Tüsamaa (municipal seat) and Pääsuuke.

First established in 1899, the party is currently the fourth-largest party represented in the Saadikutemaja. It is affiliated with the Eurean Party of Socialists.

The party was founded in September 1899, as a coalition of trade unionists in the midst of the emerging labour movement. Since its formation, the party has gone on to become one of the most important political parties in Estland, and the nation's chief left-wing political party. As of 2021, the party has approximately 9,500 registered members, making it the largest political party in the nation in terms of membership. The SDP typically finds most of its support from working-class voters and voters from industrial towns, while it has also attracted support from young voters, immigrants, and academics.

## Political positions

The Social Democratic Party has been described by observers as a social democratic and democratic socialist party. On a left-to-right political spectrum, most observers categorize the SDP as center-left or left-wing, although a minority of individual members may affiliate more with the far-left.

The SDP believes that the role of the government is to provide aid to the less-fortunate, and thus believes that Estland should ressemble a large, welfare state where the government is fully equipped to provide assistance to anyone who needs it. Due to this, they support a large social safety net with significant social programs, funded through higher rates of taxation, particularly on the wealthy and large corporations. They also believe that the working and lower-classes are the most underprivileged group in Estian society, and thus strongly support trade unions in order to provide them with more stability.

The party does not have a unified social policy, although most members adhere to social liberalism, believing that it is not the government's place to regulate private interactions between citizens and thus support same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, abortion, prostitution, and the legalization of drug usage. There are some members of the party who hold more socially conservative beliefs. The SDP supports Estland's role in international trade and foreign affairs, but does not support trade agreements with a negative effect on the working-class. The party also supports minimal funding to international affairs, in order to priorize domestic issues.

Zoreys

***Zoreys*** are a Eurean ethnic group in Tahare. As the Maronan census does not ask residents about their race or ethnicity, there is no official count of how many *Zoreys* reside in Tahare, but estimations identify 25% of the Taharian population as either *Zoreys* or *Grebs*, totaling approximately 209,387 people. During the 2018 Maronan census, 12.3% of Taharian residents were born in metropolitan Marone, totaling 103,018 people, many of whom are likely *Zoreys*.

In Tahare, *Zoreys* refers to island residents whose recent ancestry descends from Eurea, regardless of their place of birth. The term is sometimes confused with *Grebs*, which refers to residents of Tahare who descend from its initial Eurean colonizers, whereas *Zoreys* refers to residents of Tahare who descend from 20th and 21st century migrants to the island. Although the term usually refers to those of Eurean ancestry, migrants to the island from metropolitan Marone who are not of Eurean ancestry are also referred to as *Zoreys*. Despite some confusion, *Zoreys* can be and often are born in Tahare, making them creole *Zoreys*, although many are first-generation migrants who were born in metropolitan Marone or elsewhere in Eurea. Most *Zoreys* consider their residence on the island as temporary, thus making the creole *Zorey* community rather small. Individuals who were born outside of Eurea yet are still Eurean in appearance are also considered to be *Zoreys*. A subgroup of *Zoreys* are called *Zoréttes*, which refers to either children of one *Zorey* and one Taharian, or *Zoreys* who have resided in Tahare long enough to have adopted the local culture.

*Zoreys* first began arriving in Tahare during the 20th century, as the Taharian tourism industry began to expand and the island's economy began growing rapidly, eventually making Tahare the most economically prosperous region in overseas Marone. They have continued to arrive in the late-20th and early-21st centuries, as a number of Maronan and international companies open offices in Tahare and relocate employees to the island in order to manage them. Many *Zoreys* are also educators who work in Taharian schools. The presence of *Zoreys* and continued migration of them to Tahare is controversial in Taharian society, as Taharians have begun to view *Zoreys* as colonizers who have driven up the cost of living on the island and take housing and employment opportunities away from Taharians. *Zoreys* additionally consistently rank as one of the most economically prosperous groups in Tahare. Almost all *Zoreys* reside in either the Sainte-Anne or Saint-Philippe métropoles, with a particularly large community in the affluent Sainte-Anne suburb of Saint-Pierre.
