The National Development Party (Hiakemirian Constructed Language: Kokka Hatten Tō) is the sole ruling party in Neo-Korea. Founded in 1959 near the end of the Korean Civil War by Hikaru Sakuma as a means to legitimize the new state while maintaining his own power over politics, it would see itself become the main vehicle of state control of society through the process of Partification- with membership becoming a necessity for gaining access to resources necessary to survive. Membership in the NDP remains crucial in the process of receiving these resources even to this day- which drives its incredibly high membership, although only an approximate 14% of this number is believed to actively participate in the party's internal politics.

The NDP emerged from a merger of both a small subset of the right-wing of the Kakumei Dōmeitō, who had attached themselves to Hikaru as a result of his allowance of their continued presence in politics, and the Kokka Hatten Renmei, a hastily re-established party from before the Great War. This collaboration would become closer and closer as the conflict continued, with the two merging when it became clear that the majority of their support bases and leadership were either incredibly close, or, in a few cases, directly shared. It has generally been a Big Tent party throughout its history, although under the leadership of Beom Dae it has shifted rightwards, primarily in regards to its economic policies.

History

Beom Dae Regime

Main Article: 1995 Economic Reforms

The alignment of the general policy of the party with the previous right-wing of such would finalize around this point after the direct acension of Beom Dae to political control. This would primarily manifest itself in the post-Jungg'o Invasion establishment of Lushun and the increase in joint economic activity between the state and certain Iminchebol, who most especially would be tapped to rapidly advance Neo-Korea's own military capabilities in the wake of revealed points of failure during the conflict, including the beginning of Project Raven and its associated developments. Associated with this realignment were also major foreign policy changes- with alignment with Meridon and limited rapprochement with Marquesan pursued, in addition to a more active view being taken towards its immediate neighbors, such as the Republic of Matsume to its south, which would ultimately manifest in the 2034 Matsume War, or with the Federation of Atkemri, where Neo-Korea has recently begun an economic conference to assist in cobalt extraction within the Federation.

Ideology

Main Article: Pan-Hiakemirism

The National Development Party, as an Big Tent party, comprises multiple ideological positions and stances on Pan-Hiakemirism in the form of primarily-informal party factions (primarily-informal in the sense that most interactions between these factions are carried out apart from the party structure as a whole- in the form of "ideological development groupings" or other meeting forms). These factions mainly (as of 2034) comprise groupings who are mainly differentiated based on cultural and foreign affairs positions, instead of economic- with the vast majority supporting the 1995 System and its established Corporatist system.
