List of Parties in Ruthund

(NJL) Njothlenaz
Ruthenish: "The Restoration"

(Right-wing)

Njothlenaz is currently the largest party in Ruthund and represents the conservative movement in Ruthund. They advocate for a position known as Fyridokism, which is the belief that the Monarchy should be restored to the current title holder of "Fyridok", which traditionally held the throne in Ruthund. Fyridokism is also associated with the belief that democracy should be curtailed and remains subservient to the Monarch and their royal court. The party also believes that the European Union is an intrusion upon the nation and spiritual identity of Ruthund and supports its withdrawal from the EU, however the party has recently toned down their stance on Euroscepticism and their most recent party platform, leaving it an open question weather they would leave the EU if they were in power. However they are firmly against any further federalization of the European Union.

They favor a corporatist model for Ruthund, where the state sanctions monopoly rights on the corporation while it assists the state in turn. While not exactly the same as the old Ruthenish economic model pre-Reformation, many policy analysts conclude there are many similarities to where many would consider the two to be the same.

Njothlenaz in foreign policy supports a policy of a return to isolationism or at least limiting foreign interactions with other countries to trade relations. They believe maintaining strong trade relations with regional neighbors will allow Ruthund to miminize contact with the outside world. Hence, they support maintaining relations with Icholasen, Fremet, and Vayinoad, to an extent. Although initially opposing the recognition of the UNSR, the party came in support of it after the Neutrality Motion failed in the European Council. The party currently favors normalized relations with the UNSR.

(JNu) Jan Nubaima
Ruthenish: "There is a New Tree"

Jan Nubaima is one of the successor parties to the Republican Faction Schism of 1996, with the party encompassing the faction's moderates. While initially a party that supported a position called Mekilfyraz Abolitionism (sometimes called Radical Republicanism), the party shifted towards supporting the status quo on the question of the Mekilfyraz Throne, with a perpetual Stewardship of the Throne (which is known as Stewardism). The party supports liberalization of the economy and society and though advocated for incrementalism and slow change as the best way forward for Ruthund, as compared to immediate reforms. By 2018, they supported Ruthund's eventual entrance into the European Union.

Though the party was considered centre to centre-left and seemingly a compatible with Eurofederalist tendacies, the party shifted towards the centre-right when the Progressive Wing of the Party collapsed due to their disagreement on whether to allow the Steward to appoint a temporary European Council without the counsel of the Thuidwethon, among other issues. The party has since shifted to the centre-right and supports a resistance to Eurofederal though not quite as extreme as the Njothlenaz and largely support a status quo with some reforms to the European Constitution.

Tonight my mission is simple: to bring you into the shoes of the femboys and catboys. Although many are just starting to take notice that there are indeed femboys and catboys and some may be hearing about them for the first time, these marginalized people have long been subject to descrimination, mockery, and even harassment. Europe, it is 2021 and yet we still see discrimination and bigotry across the continent. From Inquista, to Spain, and up to my home in Ruthund, we see countless tragic stories of femboys and catboys being denied the respect they deserve. I hear these stories in my own home of Ruthund. Mjawaz from Mekilfothjoz writes to me about being made fun of on the street by teenagers just for wearing cat-ears and a tail when he was going about his business on the street-- just the cat ears and tail, folks. Njahoz, a femboy from Kazmurbirha often gets called a “sissy boy” on dating apps. These disheartening stories of the femboy’s and the catboy’s plight must change. And that's why our movement is here today. All across Europe, we have seen the rise in a movement to bring this injustice to an end and it will not stop in the streets, this movement will go all the way up to Europolis.

What we need is a fundamental transformation in the European constitution on how we treat femboys and catboys, because their rights are of the utmost importance in our societies. We need a voice here and now for these marginalized peoples and as a transracial catboy, I am glad to be representing my brothers today. Thank you!

Thank you and good evening Europe.

Europe is more divided than ever. The extremes on all sides have dominated discussion in Europolis. Instead of coming together and working out innovative solutions for the future, we are fear mongering about perceived enemies. Instead of basing facts on our governance, public figures in Europolis have been sabotaging each other for their own political gain. Instead of preparing the European Union for the future era of technology, outdated and dogmatic beliefs prevail. Tonight, I predict that we will see, as we usually have, what I describe play out right before our own eyes. Because people in Europolis are more interested in agenda than looking forward, more interested in ideological superiority than figuring out the best solutions, and more interested in “winning” than they are about finding common understanding.

I hope tonight proves me wrong, but based on how things are looking I don't think they will. Which is why our movement, the Femboy Party, is here tonight. We are here to not only serve Europe, we are here to give fresh leadership to Europolis and usher in a new era of facts-based governance, a human-centered Europe, and reforming the European constitution to allow all member states to feel included at the table. This is why I am running for Premier, to give this fresh and better start thank you.

On behalf of the Realm of Great Ruthund, I abstain from this vote.

Name: Kittichat Thongthang (legal: Zokouhaz Thuidotazen)
Home Nation: Realm of Great Ruthund
Office(s) Sought: Premier and Internal Affairs Commissioner
Incumbent: N
Eurogroup Affiliation: None (non-existent "Femboy Party")
Biography: Kittichat, legally named as Zokouhaz in Ruthenish records, was born in Niqobriduz, a city just outside of Kazmurbirhaz in 1975. His father worked as a physicist for the State Institute of the Arts, the main Ruthenish university and the center of research in Ruthund. His mother was the director of the Mathematics department at the Niqobrid College of Natural Philosophy. Kittichat was said to be gifted and was promptly put into the Youth Wing of the State Institute of the Arts at the age of 9. However, due to his young age, he was often bullied and socially isolated. Kittichat graduated from the Youth program in 1992, and transferred into the honor’s program at the State Institute. He graduated at the top of his class in 1996 with a degree in Economics.

Zokouhaz worked at the University as an assistant professor until 2000 when Kittichat joined one of his former classmates and friend Hortlukilaz Reiborazen in starting up a for-profit educational company in Kazmurbirhaz for gifted youth. However this venture folded in 2006, when Ruthund entered into an economic recession. In 2008, Kittichat moved to Reitzmag to help start a business with a contact in the area and was introduced to anime by his coworkers. Kittichat began to become fascinated in anime and more broadly asian culture. In 2013, Kittichat received national attention when he returned to Ruthund funding a new art studio that would make Ruthenish anime. This would be Ruthund’s first exposure to the artform ever, thus making Kittichat a prominent figure in Ruthenish media, especially as it became more popular among young people.

In 2017, Kittichat started a non-profit fellowship called Anime Artists of Ruthund. The organization was intended to train aspiring anime artists that did not have economic means to enter in professional work. The fellowship intended to train up to 2,500 artists, but fell short with only 127 artists graduating with the fellowship. Kittichat ran for mayor of Kazmurbirhaz in 2018, however lost the election falling in 4th place. During the election Kittichat called for his signature policy in Ruthund, adding “femboys” and “catboys” as a protected class against discrimination. In 2020, he announced that he was transracial saying “I feel like I should have been asian” and went to Retizmag in early 2021 for plastic surgery to make his appearance more Asian. Shortly after, he changed his name to a Thai name calling himself “Kittichat Thongthang”. However the Ruthenish government does not recognize his name change on the grounds that “Kittichat was not in the database of eligible Ruthenish names and… all citizens are required to have an approved Ruthenish name.” His last name was rejected on the grounds it violated the naming conventions of Ruthens. However he insists that his name is Kittichat.

In June of 2021, he announced the start of a new movement seeking to become an eventual Eurogroup called the “Femboy Party”. He criticized that politics in Europe has become too partisan and that Europeans were calling for an alternative option. Making his campaign and party slogan “Not left. Not right. Femboy”, he announced his campaign primarily on the issue of making specifically femboys and catboys a legally protected class in Europe against all forms of discrimination.

Ruthenish Political History, Prior to 1994

Before 1993, Ruthund was an authoritarian government where dissent was actively suppressed. It was ruled de facto by a Steward, who was commissioned by the King, though was often done so under the nomination of the Thuidawoko, the Nobility Estate within the Thuidwethon. During this time, Ruthund remained officially a Realm under the direct rule of the King of Ruthund (Ruthenish: Thuidonaz Ruthundaiz), however the King rarely involved himself in Ruthenish politics and thus his power remained theoretical and the King remained secluded from public life. During this time the Nowugaz, or the Ruthenish secret police and intelligence agency, played an active role in politics.

During the 1980’s political unrest within the court, resulting from the Kebentaron Controversy, gave way to some moderate political reform allowing for partially free elections to be held in the summer of 1986. The election resulted in the formation of the Republican faction within the Thuidwethon, which became the main opposition between the Loyalist faction. Following the 1992 elections, where the republican faction won an upset victory against the loyalist faction.

Shortly after the elections, Lord Steward Ondwepaz ordered the Thuidwethon dissolved. Though the Steward did this legally as it was within his powers to do so, a public outcry ensued, especially within Rangentazavon, where the Republicans gained the most support. With some authoritarian measures still in effect, the Nowugaz started to arrest activists and organizers connected to the protests that followed.

On January 20th, 1993 a paramilitary named the Freiwekaz, connected to the Republican Faction formed swearing to protect protesters and organizers against the military and the Nowugaz. This paramilitary gained support of several prominent members within the Rikzgel. On February 3rd, 1993 protestors took to the streets in Kazmurbirha to march to Rothbouruz Square. After a standoff between the Rikzgel and the Freiwekaz, the Rikzgel withdrew and the Rothbouruz was stormed by the protestors.

Facing the possibility of a civil war, the Thuidwoko dismissed Lord Steward Ondwepaz and installed a more moderate Lord Steward Wutjoraz. After the summoning of a new Parliament, the Republicans entered into negotiations with the Loyalist faction. After tense negotiations, an agreement was reached to allow free elections in Ruthund alongside other key reforms, this would also result in the forced abdication of the King, replacing him with a Steward answerable directly to the Thuidwethon. This would later culminate into the Act of Basic National Law of 1993. The first free elections in Ruthund were held in August of 1994.
