The People's First Coalition (Иминдеюни Дженсен tr. Imindeyuni Jensen), commonly abbreviated as the PFC or Minyunisen (Mинюнисен), a syllabic abbreviation of Imindeyuni Jensen, is a radical nationalist political party in Namor.

The PFC was rooted in Txoist revivalist movements that gained traction in the 1960s due to a relaxation in state regulation of religion. In 1970, a national congress of Txoist groups met in Tanken, East Nozama and formally established the PFC as a group representing Txoist interests. Over time, the PFC evolved into a political party and participated in the 1975 general election, winning seats in the Central Council. During the era of the Second Party System, the PFC was aligned with anti-establishment parties since it viewed the ruling Liberationists as being excessively hostile to religion, but since the emergence of the Third Party System the party has been acting independently, siding with the right on social issues and the left on economic and foreign policy issues. In 2004, the PFC rebranded itself as a secular party to attract younger voters, though many of its members continue to support the primacy of Txoism.

The PFC has been widely labeled as ultranationalists and Txoist fundamentalists, but it rejects these labels as exaggerations and considers itself to be a nationalist party.

Fiscal policy

The PFC is the only major political party in Namor that officially supports a flat income tax. During the 2010 presidential election, Kuo Zhang famously proposed a 10% flat tax rate, claiming that the flat tax was a traditional Namorese practice dating back to the semi-mythical kingdom of Nozama. The PFC continued to sponsor bills in the Central Council that sought to impose a flat tax, most notably the 2012 Fair Taxation Act proposed by Huan An. When Kuo ran for President-General again in 2015, he proposed that the new income tax rate be the average between the rate preferred by the public in a referendum and the rate preferred by the government, but added that the people could not choose 0% as their preferred rate while the government could not choose 100% as its preferred rate.

Environment

The PFC rejects the scientific consensus that climate change is predominantly caused by humans, claiming that not enough independent research has been done on the relationship between humans and the climate for an "objective consensus" to emerge. It sees international climate agreements and domestic environmental laws such as the Climate and Environmental Protection Act as parts of a globalist conspiracy to undermine the economies of developing countries.

Due to its rejection of man-made climate change, the PFC has campaigned against measures to curb climate change, including efforts to reduce reliance on coal, oil, and other fossil fuels. The party argues that shifting to renewable energy is not only impractical because it strips away existing and potential jobs, but also immoral because it "prevents Namorese from investing in their own natural resources."
