The famous Worker's Palace, nicknamed the "Kaspala" and often used metonymically to refer to the entire party.

The Central Committee of the Revolutionary Nerotysian Labor Party, abbreviated in Nerotysia as the Cenkom, is the de-jure highest body of the RNCP between Party Congresses every three years. According to the Party’s Statute, the Central Committee is responsible for achieving the objectives assigned by the Congresses through the creation and implementation of policy, and through oversight of the Secretariat, which is responsible for directing the actual activities of the Party.

For roughly the first two decades of the Party’s existence, the Central Committee functioned as it was intended - the highest legislative authority of the Party in between Congresses. However, a power struggle between rival party factions surrounding the 8th Congress in 1938 resulted in the Committee losing de-facto authority to the subordinate Political Committee. Upon its inception, the Political Committee was dominated by a single faction, Enkolić’s Neocollectivists, and given sweeping authority as part of a power grab. Numerous rival factions demanded that power be returned to the Central Committee to restore balance, but rebalancing was instead accomplished by diversifying the Political Committee - thus ensuring the Central Committee would become the rubber-stamp body it is today.

Though the Central Committee itself no longer possesses de-facto authority, it still serves as a “blueprint to the Party,” as the number of seats a faction or clique possesses defines their level of influence in the rest of the Party apparatus. Seats in the Perpetual Committee, which now directs policy in the Party, are assigned based on the seat distribution of the Central Committee - this mirroring is guaranteed because members of the Perpetual Committee are elected by a unanimous vote in the Cenkom, thus forcing all the factions to broker a reasonable deal and vote for each others’ candidates to fill seats. Additionally, gaining control of the Political Committee requires a plurality vote in the Cenkom, ensuring that the leading faction of the Party is the one with the most democratic support.
