Once you run the party you can select the logo and names for cabinet members and mps from English langauge mostly but also immigrant names if appropiate.Multiple members may run a party together.

Advice about culture:Typically republican type parties don't do too well and laicite is considered a bad electoral position if you want to attract northern votes . secularism and neutrality on which christian branch you support is considered political mainstream and quite acceptable.Religious schools are quite popular among christians especially in the north and Westseaxna so consider that if you want to get votes there. As a rule the north is most Conservative followed by Westseaxna while Supseaxe and West Baltica the biggest provinces are either pretty moderate/centrist or more liberal.
