The Workers' Unity Party is the sole ruling and totalitarian party of the World Sovereign Democratic Workers' Republic. It gained power over a part of Europe and European Russia after the Great Rebellion and proclaimed the Revolutionary Provisional Government. It has a powerful Propaganda apparatus, as it was able to manipulate people from Russia and Europe to rise in "Proletarian revolutions" against the Milkan Empire, thus transformung the RPG into a superstate, WSDWR, withing two months. It was organized so as only a restricted group of people know all the secrets. The Party operates under a Syncretic ideology, based on historical regimes and currents: FASKOMM, which is a revised Leopoldism, both ideologies being made exclusively by General Secretary Ruslanov, causing the first one to be colloquially called "Ruslanovism". The two were mainly identical, except the latter one was even more totalitarian, and transitioned from a socialist economy to an autarkic one, allowing corporations to exist as long as the chiefs were Party members and those corporations functioned for the public good. Ruslanov wanted to create a National-Communist self-sufficient Conservatist society and to implement a very strong regime, to make the people loyal to the Party and the Ideology, to always keep an eye on them and not to allow uprisings. That's why Nightwatch Division (Secret Police, similar to Sthe former East German Stasi or Soviet Spetsnaz) and S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) branches of the Working-Liberation Army were created under his leadership. Wilhelmina proposed to him the idea of a device that could operate both as a camera and a TV, to record audio-video every step of the population. That's how the concept of a "Telescreen" and "ConsulCast" was born. Doctor Thaddeus Morocco was hired by the Workers' Unity Party to help with the inventions and also to help "futurize" the old Soviet and European weaponry, such as The Katyusha or the Panzer. The armed-wing of the Party was trained by The Wolf Man, Frankenstein Monster, The Mummy, Nosferatu, Gandalf, Iorek and Genie, under the supervision of Count Dracula.

# History

After Count Dracula convoked the Monster High Commission (all monsters of Earth) Ruslanov presented his ideology and goals to liberate Earth and create a dystopian society under monster rule. The very first MHC member to totally agree with Ruslanov (except Wilhelmina and Dracula) was Ballar, the Troll. He organized the Armed wing and the Party Secretariat, and started making plans for a future rise against the Occupation, which would occure eleven years later. After the preparations, the Party became ready to start the games. Gandalf the Wise found the spell of reviving the dead and the Big Friendly Giant brought fallen soldiers from Russia and Europe. The Working-Liberation Army got powerful enough for a coup d'etat, and the target was the region around the former city Leningrad. The Party members were mainly speaking Latin (the standard language of the Monster High Commission) and English, but had to learn Russian, to speak as well as Ruslanov, who pretended to be natively Russian. After the Rebellion was held, and ended with the victory of the Party, the Revolutionary Provisional Government was proclaimed. This was supposed to be a temporary rule-by-decree quasi-state, which would shift into a new One-Party statal entity after it expanded more and got stabilized. The newly created Telescreens were put everywhere in the occupied territory and were programmed so as the Alien receptors could get its frequency (at least, at the beginning). In this way, the Party triggered the Anti-capitalist revolutions in Europe and Asian Russia and sent the W-LA to fight along with the enraged humans. Anton Ruslanov had a lot of charisma, as his speeches were motivational, strong, heart-reaching, Nationalistic, Socialist, and of couse very convincing. After only two months, the RPG transitioned into the WSDWR, which was already a superstate (true, it was far smaller in comparison to the Earth-616-Vassal, it was like an ant to the Milkan Empire). However, the W-L Army proved to be very efficient, and also hard to destroy, and, slowly, but surely, it made more and more progress. Also, the Earthlings started to love the Party and its ruler, and built a personality cult around him. Anton Ruslanov became known as the Red Czar, or simpler, Big Brother, who was watching over the population and liberated humankind. During the Provisional Government era, new cities started to be built over the ruins, including the megalopolistic Capitol. In this way, Ruslanov and the Party made sure their regime would never fall, or face popular uprising.

# Organization of the Party

The Ruslanovist Workers' Unity Party is divided into two big wings: The Main Wing and the Armed Wing. The Main Wing is divided into smaller branches as well: the Inner Party and the Outer Party. The Inner Party (or the Secretariat) is basically the nucleus of the Party. It is made up only from monsters. The General Secretary is the most important person in the WUP, and therefore is above any other member of the Inner Party, but we can say he is in this category. The Inner Party members are the most important after the General Secretary, as they directly respond to him. They have the duty to rule along with the General Secretary, over the whole Party and its associates. They have access to all of the Government's treasury and know all the secrets in the state. Inner Party members are found in the very aspect of WSDWR politics. The General Secretary assumed the title of "Consul", an office which constitutionally combined the offices of President, Prime Minister, General Secretary of the Party, and Chairman of the Citadel Council, making himself an undisputable Supreme Leader. The Presidential Ministries External Affairs, War and Peace, Internal Affairs, Propaganda, Civil Defence, Justice) are also ruled by Inner Party Members. Even high-ranking W-LA members are in the Inner Party. Same as with some S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Nightwatch members.

The Outer Party is the less important part of the Workers' Unity Party and is also the biggest of all. It is made up from monsters, as well as from humans and later some post-humans that allied with the WSDWR. Every adult citizen of the WSDWR is obliged to enter the Outer Party, in order to have any job, from a simple shop assistant to a well-respected business man. Outer Party members respond directly to the Inner Party officials. They have very little to almost no power in the state, and they do not know all the secrets of the government. For example, they do not know where Nightwatch headquarters are. Some Outer Party members can also be in the Army. In connection with the Outer Party, there is the Working-Youth United League, in which all children are obliged to be from the age of 7 to the age of 18. When they are brought to school, they also have to pass a test for the WYUL to accept them. However, there is little to no percentage of children that don't pass that test.

Last, but not least, the Armed Wing is divided into two branches, Military and Paramilitary. The Military branch consists of the Working-Liberation Army and the Workers' MetroPolice, known during the days of the Provisional Government as the Workers' Militsya. It has the role to keep the WSDWR unbreakable by alien forces, as it played a very important role during the War for Planet Earth. The Working-Liberation Army has unimaginable sizes, as it consists of millions of creatures that could not be exterminated, and this was the main advantage over the Milkan Imperial Troops, and later, the Technocratic Army. There are more ranks in the W-LA, and of course, Inner Party members hold the highest positions. The ranks are the same as those in the former Union of Sovereign States, the successor state to the Russian Federation and the old Soviet Union. However, Stalin's rank of Generalissimus has been taken by General Secretary Ruslanov. The Workers' MetroPolice (Militsya) is important to maintain every day order. There are "MetroCops" on every streets of every city of the WSDWR. That is why the crime rate has been reduced to 0%, at least officially. The Paramilitary consists of a Secret Police, known as the Nightwatch Division, or simply Nightwatch, and the Counterintelligence organization, The Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, commonly abbreviated S.P.E.C.T.R.E., after the argot used by the Party, "Newspeak".

Nightwatch Division, abbreviated NW in Newspeak and whose existence is unknown for most Outer Party members, is the main tool used for the maintenance of the Totalitarian State. It is a kind of Secret Police that has the role to defend the WUP and maintain "silent peace". During the Great Crush, the campaign that aimed to anihilate all opposition against the RPG and the WUP, it played a very important role, as the W-LA was occupied with fighting the Milkan Imperial and helped to maintain the illusion that there had never been any opposition. As its name suggests, it operates during the night and at a very high level of discretion. Its headquarters, which are known only to Inner Party memebers, might be somewhere in Siberia or Yakutia, given the fact that the Revolutionary Provisional Government initially had the territories of the medieval Kievan Rus' and Novgorod Republic after the Great Rebellion. They can also be in City 17, in a Bolvangar or inside the Citadel, but it is not clear.

Nightwatch is a copy of the former East German Staatsicherheit, more commonly known as the Stasi, or the older Nazi Geheimestaatspolizei (Gestapo) but it may also resemble the Russian Spetsnaz, as it did have some intervention on the battlefield, of course during the night. Its agents may operate during the day as fellow Outer Party members, with nobody knowing their real identity. The Nightwatch Division is noted to have had three very important mission, which facilitated the victory of the WSDWR over the Milkan Empire and later the Technocracy of the World. First, NW was delegated to bring dead soldier corpses from regions near Transylvania, such as Ukraine or Russia, for being ressurected with Gandalf's evil potion. The very first person to do this job was the Big Friendly Giant (The BFG), but when the experiment proved to be successful, more and more monsters joined the BFG in his adventure, thus Nightwatch was formed. A while after the proclamation of the Workers' Republic, NW discovered the Transwarp Teleportation Tower lying in Svalbard, and so the Consul was informed and the W-LA (alongside with NW) started an attack which concluded with the destroyal of the Tower and the Earth-616-Vassal Administration loosing connection with the Imperial Chair Homeworld and, last but not least, the capture of Quint Carroll, the fallen Administrator of Earth (who proved to be Benedict Marley, 40 years later) and nine of his followers, who revealed to the Workers' Unity Party how the sentient machines operated and gave them the little secret that could have easily destroyed the Technocracy of the World and end the Perpetual War between the two Totalitarian superstates.

S.P.E.C.T.R.E., on its full name the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, is the special organization formed with the purpose of emulating both a terrorist organization and a espionage and counter-intelligence group. Its agents were send to integrate among the Milkan-backed Earth-616 territories, as well to massacre large alien populations that have set in Asia, during the war. This is another secret for most Outer Party members, but its members do not operate as fellow citizens, though. Most notable missions of this organization were the Vassal Administration's Computing System Corruption, which resulted in a ConsulCast being diffused on Vigil's holografic environment just after the Great Rebellion has ended in the victory of the Workers' Unity Party, the Data-Foundout, which revealed every single information of the Milkan Alien Occupation of the time (though the S.P.E.C.T.R.E. agents didn't find out about the Grand Generator, a very important information which will be brought <indirectly> later by Nightwatch) and the East Asian massacre, during which half of the Alien population of Earth was erased.

# Ideology

The Workers' Unity Party has adopted, since its transformation from the Monster High Commission, the extremely idiosyncratic ideology known as "FasKomm". As its name suggests, it is a combination of Fascism and Communism, both of them being based (more or less) on the Labour movement and Totalitarianism. This is actually why the symbol of a handshake appears on the Party's flag and it is namely "of the Workers". During the Provisional Government, FasKomm was indirectly introduced to the conquested society, beginning to introduce the subtle yet brutal totalitarianism masked with a democratic face scarf. As soon as the Great Renaissance has started, and the Wasteland started to transform into urban centers, telescreens had been placed everywhere, and the Consul started broadcasting his speeches on them, leading to the term "ConsulCast". What the citizens did not know was that the telescreens could also record audio-video, even when not broadcasting and instead showed the screensaver image of a young Ruslanov sitting on an armchair, image that had been altered to feature the Party flag in the back of the Consul. The ConsulCasts could be speeches, public announcements or short messages, amd the people liked them as Ruslanov was very charismatic and convincing, a characteristic specific to good orators. Also, his speeches (often with Labourist or Conservatist themes) often mention the World Sovereign Democratic Workers'Republic as a fsr superior state to the Milkan Empire and that humankind would succeed into perfectiontion if they listen to the Party and to the Consul. Also, the short messages start with "The True Citizen", phrase also used in different contexts. Ruslanov also called the WSDWR "our Glorious Labour State" in his speeches and sometimes mentions his "wife", Mina. Part of the Propaganda System are the posters too. Posters with messages like "It's great to be part of the Greater Good", written under the drawing of the Consul's face, or (for the Workers' MetroPolice "They are here for you"). FasKomm advocates for a self-sufficient, nationalist, communist, egalitarian militarized society where the citizens work in freedom and peace in order to maintain their living standards high and the Government fights for the Greater Good of humankind, at least officially. In practice, FasKomm is a form of Oligarchical Collectivism, which means that a very limited group of people hold power (a little bit, because most of the power rested in the Consul's hands), and the average person had nothing to do against the small group, which also controls (directly or not) all the means of production in the State, which is heavily militarized and centralized. FasKomm is literally the purest form of Totalitarianism, the one which people confuse with Democracy (in this case, Workers' and Peasant's Soviet Democracy). The population doesn't have any idea of who the rulers actually are, or what is happening inside the Citadel, the Parliament (Citadel Soviet/Council) House and the Consul's personal residence. Any trace of Totalitarianism had been justified by the Consul in his speeches on the Telescreens (ConsulCasts): the presence of only one Political Party and Unique Ideology: Unity between the people. Heavy militarization: safety. The Consul himself staying in office for life: he had saved humanity from the Alien oppresion, he had elaborated everything that made the life become better, and do, why not staying as the guide of the working-class for more than 8-10 years?
