The Centre Party (Azmaran: Midelpartii, Mp) is an agrarian and Sotirian-democratic political party in Azmara.
The party was formed in 1945 through a merger of the Sotirian humanist Freethinkers' Party and the agrarian Farmers' Party with the goal of acting as a united voice in favour of Azmaran rural communities against what its founders perceived as an urban-centric political establishment. It would enter government in 1954 alongside Gold Flame in Azmara's first centre-right government since the Great War and has served in government several times since, supplying three Thingspeakers despite being absent from power 1969-1981 and 1987-2005. It currently serves in the government of Freidrik Aleksaanderssun, with party leader Henrik Jorśsun serving as Deputy Thingspeaker and Internal Affairs Secretary.
Due to its roots in rural communities, the party has been historically most popular within rural areas of the country, especially those with a relatively small presence of organised labour, with the party traditionally gaining its best results in the provinces of Westmaark, Nordberg and Hytklif and traditionally underperforming in urban areas of the country such as the central Bojnersteden region. It is an affiliate to the Euclean Democrat Union on an international level.

Oskar Askerssun (19 June 1891 — 1 September 1952) was an Azmaran writer, political theorist and politician who served as the first leader of the Centre Party, to which he is often considered the ideological father. He also served as a Member of the Folksmot between 1939 and his death in 1952.
Early life and career
Oskar Askerssun was born in 1891 in the northern Westmaark town of Groons. His father, Asker Isakssun, served as the priest of the town's church, while his mother served as a folksskul teacher. Due to his father's ecclesiastical role, Askerssun was able to obtain secondary educationat the then-Church of Azmara-run Mideltuun Boys High School as a boarding student.
After graduating in 1909, Askerssun would marry Mariina Isaksdohter, a student at the corresponding girl's school and acquire a job teaching at a folksskul in Mideltuun. Over the next decade and a half, he would teach at both this school and schools in rural nearby towns including in his native Groons, during which time he would begin writing. Askerssun's early outputs consisting largely of short stories about Azmaran rural life inspired by the country's romantic and realist literature trends, many of which found their way into the Jeśehten fân Groons ("Stories from Groons") collection published in 1917.
Askerssun's writings would lead to him developing an interest in political matters in order to alleviate the conditions of the rural poor and would join the Sotirian-inspired progressive National Association.
Early political activism
Askerssun would help campaign for the party in northern Westmaark in the 1918 and 1921 elections and would venture into political essay writing, resulting in a 1923 collection titled Þahten fân Groons ("Thoughts from Groons") in which Askerssun described effects of the Great Collapse in Azmara and detailed his criticisms both of the laissez-faire policies of Azmaran governments before 1921 and of Nemtsovism and councilism. Despite this, Askerssun was a cautious supporter of the coalition government between the councilist ADAA and the National Association, noting that if the latter "moderated" the former's "Nemtsovite excesses" then "significant progress" could be made on "eradicating rural poverty".
After the rise of the National Coalition to power, Askerssun would find himself cast in the role of a political opposition leader, becoming a key figure in the new Freethinkers' Party formed by the splinter of the centrist wing of the National Association as its socialist wing merged with the majority of the ADAA into the Workers' Party. In response to what he and many other opposition politicians considered a crackdown on civil liberties by the government and alignment with the Functionalist government in Gaullica, Askerssun would attempt to organise a united opposition front to help defeat the National Coalition in the 1927 election yet this would be to no avail and the government would be re-elected amid a red scare.
In the face of Azmaran entry into the Great War on the Gaullican side in 1929 and further crackdowns on civil liberties culminating in the suspension of the 1930 election, Askerssun would temporarily flee the country with his wife and children to Werania fearing for his personal safety. Residing in Westbrücken, Askerssun would publish the essay and short story collection Ân Handeling âb Wiþerstejen ("An Act of Resistance") in 1931, a work harshly critical of National Functionalism and right-wing authoritarianism he would later describe as his "magnum opus".
With the outbreak of the 1932 General Strike in Azmara leading to the downfall of the National Coalition and the country's withdrawal from the war, Askerssun would return, being appointed as Minister for Agriculture in the provisional government of Hjalmer Alekssun as the new government rewrote the constitution and re-entered the war on the anti-Gaullican side. However, Askerssun would not stand in the 1933 election and would resign from office, stating that he needed a "retreat" from political life, declining an offer from his party to stand in the 1934 presidential and 1936 legislative elections.
During the late 1930s Askerssun would publish two more short story compilations which would branch out in themes to explore romance and historical fiction - 1936's De Raad Foogel ("The Red Bird") and 1938's In Hindsiht ("In Hindsight").
Parliamentary career
Askerssun would ultimately accept a request from his party to run in the 1939 legislative election, stating a concern that the Azmaran political scene would become "monopolised" by the Workers' Party-Radical alliance who had won large majorities in the past two elections and who he described as "too rooted in urban concerns" to address a significant swathe of the nation.
Topping the poll in Westmaark province, Askerssun would become one of the leading voices of the opposition to the governments of Hjalmer Alekssun. Askerssun would continually emphasise his opposition to the government as being "respectful and constructive" and would seek bipartisan solutions on areas of mutual agreement such as the introduction of universal secondary education and integration into the United Nations of Euclea, while criticising the government's industrial policy of nationalisation and state planning of significant portions of heavy industry as overly centralising power.
Askerssun was also a noted critic of the government's welfare reforms, noting that while he saw a "more generous pensions and social insurance system" as a "necessity", he saw what he termed the government's "one-size-fits-all" approach as "dangerous", arguing instead for a sectorally stratified system as developed by Sotirian democratic parties in other countries.
After his re-election in the 1942 election, Askerssun would work for greater collaboration of the forces to the right of the government, forming an alliance with the agrarian Farmers' Party citing their similar focus on the interests of rural Azmarans and presssuring the leadership of the Freethinkers' Party to co-operate further with the party. In 1944, a merger proposal heavily supported by Askerssun would be put to both parties, arguing a need to "unite the centre" of Azmaran politics between the socialism and radicalism of the government and the laissez-faire of other opposition party Gold Flame.
This merger proposal would succeed and at an inaugural conference for the new party it would adopt the name of Centre Party of Azmara and elect Askerssun as its first leader, committing to an agrarian platform influenced by Sotirian humanist, liberal democratic and civic nationalist doctrines. The newly-formed party would achieve second place in the 1945 election with 17.3% of the vote and 26 seats, resulting in Askerssun becoming the formal Leader of the Opposition.
Personal views
Askerssun's personal views have been widely judged to have stemmed chiefly from his desire to alleviate the conditions of the Azmaran rural poor, his Westmarckian faith, a romanticist conception of Azmaran nationalism and a commitment to democracy and human rights.
Askerssun was a strong believer in the founding principles of the Commonwealth of Azmara, professing in 1927 that the "republican, secular and liberal democracy" developed by Mikel Hankssun was the most laudable achievement in the nation's history - despite his strong personal faith and religious-derived ethics Askerssun strongly opposed the notion of a state church, describing such a concept as a violation of the Westmarckian concept of "free will".
Askerssun was an opponent both of free-market capitalism professed by Gold Flame and the socialism professed by the ADAA and later the Workers' Party, seeing both systems as "based in the concerns of urban classes", the former serving the burijer class and the latter serving the urban poor to the detriment of other groups in society. Askerssun instead viewed class collaboration as important, stating in Ân Handeling âb Wiþerstejen that "burijers, intellectuals, labourers and farmers" all had a role to play in society and that the government had a role to balance and negotiate the interests of the four classes and ensure none of them were too powerful.
Askerssun supported a large role for small business and co-operatives in the economy and thought the government should intervene to prevent monopolies both by private and state-owned enterprise, seeing both as detrimental to national wellbeing and concentrating power in the hands of too few individuals. Some have described Askerssun as a distributist due to an emphasis on spreading power over the means of production in his writings.
In Þahten fân Groons, Askerssun professed his support for the first wave of Azmaran feminism, stating that he saw "no reason why [his wife] should not be considered legally equal [to himself]", and expressed opposition to the death penalty, describing it as "barbaric". He was also a consistent advocate for temperance and prohibition, with Þahten fân Groons describing the government's duty to "crack down on the vices of the Azmaran poor" such as alcohol, gambling and prostitution.
Some modern-day writers have described Askerssun as a eugenicist due to writings where he argued that children should not be conceived "by families that cannot support them", identifying large families as a "key problem" facing the rural poor, yet others have disputed this.

Azmara, (/æzmɑːrə/; Azmaran: Azmaara [ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), officially the Kingdom of the Azmarans (Azmaran: Kyninkryk âb de Azmaariśeren [gɛmɛnʋɛlθ æβ ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), is a country located in northeast Euclea with a population of 10 million citizens. The nation consists of eight provinces and has its capital in the city of Aalmsted, whose metropolitan area backs onto many of Azmara's other large cities and comprises around 35% of the nation's population. To the southwest it borders Borland and to the northwest it borders Werania.
The Azmaran state can trace its origins to the consolidation of many of the petty kingdoms in the modern-day territory into the Western March of the Rudolphine Confederation in 1027. This state, which would later be reorganised into Twin Crowns of Groonbank and Westmaark during the 13th century, would come to be one of the pre-eminent states within the Confederation, dominating the Translanian sphere of the Confederation. Despite this, as the Amendist Reaction spread across the Confederation and found a particular stronghold amongst the lesser nobility and burghers of Groonbank-Westmaark, the state would come into specific conflict with successive Protectors over the 16th and 17th centuries, with the state seeing much bloodshed during the Amendist Wars.
Otto IX's attempts at centralisation would lead to further resistance in the state, culminating in the Azmaran Revolt of 1665, culminating in the self-government of several parts of Azmara under the Azmaran Confederation, which would further consolidate its control of the modern-day territories over the next half-century before the eventual unification of Azmara after the Ten Years' War. The Confederation would be increasingly incorporated into Soravia's sphere of influence, with Frederick I ruling the Confederation in personal union with Soravia, and the two states seeing heavy interconnection after his death. This would however be interrupted by attempts to export the Weranian Revolution to Azmara, with the Republic of Westmaark being created as a sister republic in 1794.
After the demise of the revolutionaries, Stefan I would be crowned King of Azmara in 1801, and would try and bring the concept of an enlightened monarchy to Azmara, yet after his death in 1837 his descendants' rule would become unpopular and after a series of bad harvests and confrontations with radical parliamentarians led by Jorś Wilhjâlmssun a revolution would break out in the winter of 1854, which would be ultimately satiated through the 1855 Instrument of Governance, which established parliamentary governance and extended suffrage to significant portions of the middle class. The country would introduce labour market reforms establishing a comprehensive welfare state in the late 19th and early 20th century establishing an advanced mixed economy and would adopt a policy of armed neutrality but would be invaded during the Great War by the Entente before being liberated by the Grand Alliance in 1933.

Alsbora is a nickname often used for the co-operation and joint advocacy between three northern member states of the Euclean Community: Alsland, Azmara and Borland. The name of the organisation comes from a portmanteau of the names of the three countries - Alsland, Borland, Azmara, and became widely used in Euclean politics since the accession of Alsland to the Euclean Community in 1955, yet the frequent co-operation between the three governments has never been coalesced into a formal organisation.
The term is often associated with joint foreign policy objectives of the three nations, with the three supporting increased federalisation of the Euclean Community while opposing a perceived domination of the organisation by Estmere, Gaullica and Werania and seeking to serve as a counterweight to the spheres of influence of the three countries. In some contexts, the pursual of these goals has led to co-operation between the three countries, Caldia and Hennehouwe, with many publications referring to a "small state bloc" consisting of the five nations, yet the use of Alsbora as a political moniker has remained in modern discourse and is often extended to contexts such as the military policy of the ECDTO, where the three members are often considered more dovish and sceptical of military intervention.
Historical background
- Post-Great War, Azmaran Realignment and Borish independence, Azmara and Borland begin close co-operation on many issues and "special relationship" formed.
- Both nations are founding members of the United Nations of Euclea and the Euclean Community.
- Alsbora probably forms as a thing when Alsland joins the EC in 1955 and I assume co-operation starts to be pursued.
- More stuff
- Workers' Party - Centrum - Progressive Alliance develop friendly relations despite Centrum's DM-PEC affiliation and the others SAE affiliation - in modern day good relations between Anasdohter, Hoven and Moeller notable.

Mikel Hankssun (18th March 1800 - 10th January 1876) was an Azmaran political leader, lawyer and statesman who served as the first President of Azmara between 1855 and 1867. A leading figure in the Revolution of 1855, he is viewed as one of the founders of republican Azmara alongside his political rival Jorś Wilhjâlmssun.
Ideologically an Azmaran nationalist and radical liberal, Hankssun sought to create a secular Azmaran nation unified by a shared cultural and linguistic heritage and ruled by a republican government inspired by the Seyresian principle of separation of powers and the principle of universal rights of man.
