For a Better World (political party)

Deputy
* Environmentalism

**For a Better World** (**FBW**) is a green centrist political party in Game City founded in August of 2021 by player Ebo. Generally, it describes itself as a "centrist progressive" party striving to see a greener and more ecological Game City while at the same time defending both the free market and workers' rights.

They are the biggest party in Parliament and are currently in power, led by President Ebo and Vice President Maxus.

"For a Better World" is represented by the colour **green.**

## History

#### **Сonceiving an idea.**

Despite the fact that the party was created in August 2021, the idea of creating it came to Ebo shortly after first joining Game City in 2020. Ebo could see the future potential of the kingdom under the correct government, but felt that the time wasn't right to enter politics just yet, as the 2021 general election was just around the corner (with the Conservatives and Labour duking it out once again) and it was far too late to begin a campaign of his own.

Ebo initially toyed with the idea of creating a Marxist party, but changed his mind when he saw the benefits of the free market. However, Ebo remained inclined towards the socialist ideals of helping the poor, of modernization and progress; while approaching capitalism in an ecological and environmental way.

#### **Party creation.**

Ebo wanted to create his new political project around the end of May, but since it was much too late and he didn't have a deputy, he delayed his plans. On the 19th August 2021, Ebo and his new deputy Roltona announced the creation of their new political party: 'For a Better World'. Roltona would remain party deputy until the 28th April 2022.

#### **A difficult spring.**

The 28th April 2022 marked the last time party deputy Roltona was seen by his FBW colleagues (this was back when the party still had no headquarters). The official stance given by the party leadership is that Roltona likely asked Ebo for some money and bought a house somewhere deep in the woods of Steelborough County. The following week, on the 6th May, Ebo named Maxus his temporary deputy until a conclusion was reached regarding Roltona. More than a month later, on the 8th June, Maxus officially became Roltona's replacement. Ebo would call the 28th April "The Missing Day", and decreed that it would be a holiday for all FBW members.

In addition, that very month of April, a far-left contingent within FBW broke off to form the Communist Party of Game City (CPGC), with LaylaFire22 as leader. Its members stated that the disappearance of Roltona was completely unrelated to their separation from FBW.

On the 12th May, the party headquarters of For A Better World on President Jaime Avenue was officially opened.

#### 2023 campaign

In January 2023, after the governmental crisis that led to Vice President ToastIsBestFrozen stepping down and King Aston announcing a snap election for March, FBW, as other parties did, started preparing for the election, creating a series of political posters such as the one on the left. They initially tied with the Free Crafters Party, but after a confidence vote from the rest of the presidential candidates, Ebo gained an extra point and won the presidency. He was the first President of the Government from neither the red nor blue party, a historic achievement.

## Programs

#### FBW's society card

On the 12 of January party presents a "FBW's society card". This document make way to get payments by programs much easier.

#### **Programs**

On the 20th March 2022, they began the development of their first financial aid programs. These were "Help the poor (Nº 001)", "Eco buildings (Nº 002)" and "The business extension (Nº 003)". First program most of targeted on newcomers, to help them stand on a fit in new country. But payments by this program can anyone who have a FBW's social card, not only newcomers. Second program more about ecology. FBW offers moneys for anyone who have any private property with grass, flowers, bushes and trees, or for anyone who wants to build an ecohouse. But to avoid fraudulently they imposed severe restrictions on who can get this payments. And by third program FBW party invest money in people who want to start their new business.

On the 12th May 2022, most of the programs were reworked, with the payment quantity decreasing and more conditions for receiving said payment being added.
