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

Pre-NDP

The forces which would eventually come to form the National Development Party are primarily based in the right wing of the previously extant Kakumei Dōmeitō, the Big-Tent party which controlled the Korean Democratic State throughout the course of its existence. Originating from a fusion of agricultural populist groupings, corpocratic business officials, and further-right resistance figures who had been united in the coalition, it would conglomerate around the policies of Go Aki, a former official during the Kaesong period. Go Aki would be a notable supporter of the military- forming a close personal friendship with Ogata Katsu and being one of the primary supporters of his later coup, a policy which eventually resulted in an internal party coup which ousted him from leadership near the end of the Great War.

These forces would splinter even further after the Atomic Bombing of Fuzan, eventually shattering entirely into different political groupings within the post-Isao Kakumei party. During the end of the war, the industrialists would begin being courted by a then-minor general, one Hikaru Sakuma.

Founding

Hikaru Sakuma would form the National Development Party shortly after his seizure of power in the south of the country, using it as a legislative and supportive body to his own rule while he focused on the military-economic situation of the time. It would incorporate the White Guard organization formed by his personal ally Pyoyter Nakiovich around this early period, using it as the youth wing of the party and as a body to support and reinforce his own leadership, alongside as a source of information on internal unrest. The NDP of this period would functionally have no political identity, owing to its lack of ideological motivation aside from supporting Hikaru, although as Neo-Korea began to expand it would pick up individuals (such as Nitta Michi and Fukuda Chiasa) who would begin to build-up political factionalism and the guiding ideology of the party- economic corporatism, support of Pan-Hiakemirism, and other generally moderate economic/social positions.

It would gradually entrench itself further in the new state, taking control of key governmental roles and political appointments in the Hikaru Government before eventually initiating large-scale political reforms which would make it illegal for other parties to entrench or form themselves in the political affairs of the new state. Especially useful to this cause was the association of government support with party membership, and the eventual mandating of such a connection by Hikaru.

Early Years

Centralization of the Party

Death of Hikaru Sakuma

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.

Notable Members

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.
