	The oldest active party in Eldmarsk politics, the ENP sits in the centre-right of the political spectrum and has of recent history enjoyed a 10 year majority in the Riksdag and an overall domination of the national agenda. Promoting socially conservative ideals along with free-market ideals, its primary opposition as of late has been elements of the right wing itself, objecting to their lax stance of neutrality on the Mariranan Civil War and their overall accepting status of refugees from aforementioned conflict, forcing the ENP to form a coalition government with the more centrist Avancera to remain in power. While positions from within the party may vary, the prevailing ideology of the ENP is to be for the continued cooperation of the AFDC, though the ENP is for the continued integration of political alliances between Eldmark and other nations outside the AFDC, including Halland and Nuxica.
	File:Avancera.png	Advance, Eldmark! Avancera, Eldmark!	Matteo Nyholm	In Government	89 / 325	Classical liberalism Social liberalism Centrism
	Avancera was formed via the mergers of the former parties Liberal Movement and Reform Bloc, along with former members of the Mollerite wing of the Working People's Party, causing them to become a major force overnight. In the 2015 elections, their socially liberal platform gained them an upper hand, flipping many ENP districts, forcing them into a position as a junior party in government. Because of this, many liberal policies have become law, including legalizing same-sex marriage and abortion to the second trimester, further leading to accusations that the ENP had betrayed their base, which culminated into the rise of the Alliance. Avancera is pro-AFDC and attributes the organization for "the continued peace and prosperity of Asteria."
	File:AFPlogo.png	Working People's Party Arbeterfolksparti	Karl Falk	In Opposition	84 / 325	Democratic socialism Progressivism Eco-socialism Social democracy Multiculturalism Feminism
	The Arbeterfolksparti, translated as the Working People's Party, is one of the oldest parties in Eldmark, second only to the Eldmark National Party. Initially founded as a progressive trade unionist party, it has routinely advocated for increased social services, more worker protections, civil rights, and nationalisation of many industries. While commonly the opposition, the AFP has seen its share of power, namely in the period after the Great War. Among their greatest achievements include the establishment of the Odavli State, nationalisation of rail transport, and the 40 hour work week in Eldmark, along with various worker safety programs. After the removal of Nils Moller from position of party leader by more radical elements of the party, various centrists crossed the bench to form Avancera. The party is skeptical of the AFDC, though positions may vary.
	File:Forbundlogo.png	Alliance Förbund	Ivar Eksköld	In Opposition	10 / 325	Paternalistic conservatism Nativism Eldmarsk nationalism Right-wing populism Anti-Catholicism
	Förbund, also known as The Alliance, or The Alliance of Populist Eldmarsk Voices, was founded by Ivar Eksköld in 2015, as a response to the ENP's neutrality the Mariranan Civil War. Eksköld, a televangelist and political contributer for Världens Idag, a right wing news site, forged the right wing populist party from various elements of other parties, such as the ENP, the former Freedom Coalition, the Bahrist Defense League, and the Dominion Movement, growing it into a small but vicious minor party that continues to make headlines, leading many to suspect their imminent growth. The party has a distrust to the AFDC, though positions from within the party vary from reforming the organization to leaving it altogether.
	File:Korsa.png	Korsa Korsa	Elias Claesson	In Opposition	3 / 325	Ordoliberalism Electoral reform Technocracy E-democracy
	Korsa, translating to "cross," is a centrist, technocratic, and reformist party founded and funded entirely by investor Elias Claesson. In his book Maximize Humanity, Claesson laid the foundations to creating a society "ran as efficiently as possible to maximize productivity, consumption, and happiness." His policies, such as reinventing the work schedule, establishing an official Expertbyrå, a secondary arm of the Riksdag charged with amending bills to conform with scientific and business consensus, and overall pushing for scientific advancement, have been met with varying success and failure, with only the latter making any headway. The party is very pro-AFDC, desiring more integration with the organization.
	File:RepublikanskaPartiet.png	Eldmarsk Section of the Worker's Internationale Eldmarsk Delen Av Arbetarens Internationella	Joahchim Okbrand	In Opposition	2 / 325	Agrarian Socialism Council Communism Trade unionism Anti-monarchism
	The Eldmarsk Section of the Worker's Internationale initially began as a section of the AFP that was banned shortly after the Great War after the Red Surge in various elements of the Asterias. While officially banned, the ESAI rebranded as the Republican Party, running primarily a single-issue platform of anti-monarchism. While technically allowed to continue under the new ideology, the Republicans would be routinely surveilled and persecuted, before the Political Freedom Act of 1987, which loosened such restrictions, though were still disbarred from running as a section of the Worker's Internationale until 2015. The party has been a vocal opposing voice in several wars, citing the Eldmarsk government as "actively engaging in imperialism and apartheidism." While vastly unpopular, their two seats have come about as a result of growing support from the Odavli state, and among college campuses, for their platform of reparations for Bahian and Native Asterian peoples. They are staunchly anti-AFDC, advocating for a complete withdrawal from the organization "to prevent further damage to Eldmark from global capital."
	File:Diaza.png	Gahodi ᎦᏙᎯ	File:Itzel Kamsal.jpg Adsila Gola (ᎠᏥᎳᏍ ᎪᎳ)	In Opposition	2 / 325	Indigenous civil rights Cultural conservatism
	The Gahodi is less a party and more an indigenous council that has a guaranteed seat in the Riksdag, though is more interested in regional affairs in the Odavli State. In the past, the party has had more, though most Odavli tend to vote AFP or EDAI. The name, meaning soil, signifies the party's intentions, to preserve cultural autonomy for the Odavli people, to preserve tribal ownership of land, and continue to vy for future political control of their own affairs. While conservative in that regard, the Gahodi has been increasingly accepting of issues deemed liberal for the white majority of Eldmark, such as LGBT+ rights and abortion. The Gahodi is neutral in regards to the AFDC, but advocates for a wider cooperation among all Native Asterian peoples.
	File:VarldensKoalition.png	World's Coalition Världens Koalition	Felix Ishizaki	In Opposition	2 / 325	Green politics Environmentalism Progressivism
	The World's Coalition was founded after the 1985 Stalkulle Earthquake caused a rupture of a gas pipeline, which remains the largest environmental disaster in Eldmarsk history. Founded as an anti-nuclear, anti-fossil fuel party, the VK has advocated for a robust environmental policy to end reliance on non-renewable energy and punitive taxation on all pollutant-heavy industries. The party has been anti-AFDC since 2006, citing "a complete and harrowing lack of urgency regarding the climate" in the AFDC's agenda.
