The Carucerean National Congress (Papotement: Bouga Nasyonal Karukais) is a center-left political party in Carucere. Serving as a liberation movement against the Carucerean Republic, it has continuously governed the country since the ratification of the current constitution in 1972. Dazadiu Dogo, the incumbent Premier, has served as the President of the BNK since 2018.
The BNK was founded on 8 March 1923 as the Congress of Friends, a political social club of educated Creoles to advocate for political rights in the Gaullican colony of Saint-Brendan. When the Carucerean Republic was established in 1954, the BNK's purpose expanded to establish civil, political, and economic rights for all Carucereans. As the BNK's membership expanded it transformed into a mass political party, beginning a campaign of agitation that would lead to the start of the Carucerean Revolution. In response, the party was suppressed before it was banned entirely and was forced to operate its movement underground. The Sugar Crash significantly weakened the Republican government and led to significant increase in agitation from the party. After the party's ban was lifted in 1970, the BNK served as a key party during the negotiations sponsored by Sainte-Chloé. In the first free elections in 19XX, the BNK won a majority of seats in the election, and would remain in government to the present day.
