The **National Revolutionary Party** was a left-wing revolutionary vanguard party that led the Kalsheii Revolutionary Wars against the Kanikawa Shogunate and founded the West Kalshei Federation. It de-radicalized and moved away from communism in the latter half of the 2000s, and has now become a democratic-socialist party rather than a communist one. The NRP continues to be a prominent party in the Federal Congress of the WKF to this day, though it has been reduced to being the third-largest party in the Congress, and no longer the leader of the Pan-Red Coalition.

In the early years of the Federation, the NRP was completely dominant in the country's politics, alongside their Pan-Red Coalition. Under successively popular Prime Ministers- beginning with Hong Wei- as well as relatively good economic growth and the immense support for the Coalition due to their role in the Kalsheii Revolutionary Wars, the NRP would enjoy uninterrupted power from 2006 till 2072, when it had ended tutelage and implemented full democracy.

## Factionalism

During (and in the decades after) the Kalsheii Revolutionary Wars, the NRP was split between Left and Right factions. The Left NRP was more "orthodox" in following the systems established by the Kuomin Tongmeng's Republic of Cathei, such as "tutelage", a vanguard party-state, the four yuan system, centralization, anti-regionalism, (Xia) Cathese nationalism and distrust of western-style parliamentary democracy. In contrast, the Right NRP was more open to western democracy, federalism and the idea of a Pan-Kalshei'i nation, which earned them criticism and accusations of being traitors.

Not wanting a civil war to break out, Left NRP leader Hong Wei created a compromise solution, creating the institutions of Prime Minister and the Federal Congress as a compromise to the Right NRP, yet enacting more heavy-handed Left NRP policies for regional administration (such as regional administrators being appointed by the central government instead of being elected), a strong central government, laws and campaigns against regionalism and separatism, and the Great Anti-Colonial Struggle against Kanikawan cultural infiltration. However, much of the Right NRP were also deprived of meaningful positions in the Party and government until the 2050s, and many of the Right NRP's members came under scrutiny for treason during the Great Struggle.

Though Hong Wei was succeeded by the Right NRP's Wang Leiming, Wang's foreign upbringing and background made it difficult for him to earn the respect of the NRP, and he struggled to properly control the Party as the Great Struggle reached its peak in the 2020s-30s. Wang was succeeded by the radical Left NRP leader Jiang Yongcheng. The NRP's factional divide would last until the Right NRP, under Gaotian Wanli, officially broke away as the Takada faction

## Party Institutions

Following the model of the Kuomin Tongmeng, the NRP had/has numerous institutions that would resemble a one party state. This is due to the Kuomin Tongmeng being modeled after the Communist Party of Iljekya and United Lesovia as a revolutionary vanguard party.

### Youth League 青年團

One of the NRP's major party institutions, the National Revolutionary Youth League still exists today

### Propaganda Department 宣傳部

The Propaganda Department was crucial in the war effort against the Kanikawa Shogunate, and continued being influential in the Great Struggle, under the leadership of Jiang Yongcheng. It still exists and is used to campaign for NRP politicians in the elections

### Central Military Commission 中央軍事委員會

The Central Military Commission was a wartime revolutionary institution to lead the war effort against the Shogunate. It was also responsible for the military's political officers. It was abolished by Takada Banri in the 2050s to remove threats to his unpopular leadership.

### Control Department 監測部

Another wartime revolutionary institution to monitor the actions of Party members, as well as regional administration, to ensure they weren't being corrupt, violating Party discipline, or doing acts of treason or subversion. Following the 2059 Huicheng Terrorist Attack, it began investigating Takada Banri, the number one suspect behind the assassinations, but was abolished by Takada out of self-preservation.
