Naprzód is a political party which is the governing party of the Miersan Federation, having governed West Miersa since 2016, and prior to that, from 1986 to 2011.
Established in 1965 by economic liberals critical of the governing Miersan National Party's economic policies which favoured closer ties with Narozalica against those of the nascent Euclean Community, the party did not win any seats in the 1966 and 1971 elections, although its popularity grew substantially, and by 1976, they were able to gain six seats in the National Assembly.
During the Miersan War, Naprzód enthusiastically supported the war effort, and became critical of the east's "indifference" to the plight of the Miersan nation: this not only led it to become more aligned with Narozalica in the aftermath, but also made it a popular alternative to the governing Miersan National Party, particularly as many people viewed the Miersan National Party as only being able to secure a "glorious defeat" thanks to the help of Episemialist militias. This led to Naprzód taking power in 1986, and would govern continuously until 2011.
In this period, Naprzód instituted economic liberal policies and began to politically liberalize West Miersa as well, culminating in allowing the voiovdeships to exercise their powers under the West Miersan constitution in the early 2000s, and in 2006, by allowing the then-Minister-President, Oskar Palubicki, to exercise his full powers under the constitution.
However, after the 2011 elections, when Naprzód maintained control of the Presidency but lost control of the National Assembly, the situation led to deadlock and tensions between the two parties, culminating in a constitutional crisis that was only solved in June 2013, when Narozalica backed the Miersan National Party, allowing them to take control of the Presidency.
In 2016, Naprzód retook control of the Presidency and National Assembly after waging a campaign against the "coup d'etat" and appeals to Miersan nationalism.
