Factions

Krasnyye

The so-called "Red" faction of the FTP is the more radical, labor-oriented of the two, supported by unionists, student radicals, and the most left-win of Alaskan society. The Krasnyye are essentially social democratic and Marxist in nature, as well as being dangerously close to political republicanism.

Zelenyye

The dominant "Green" faction of the FTP is much more moderate than their urban counterparts, primarily being a leftist, populist agrarian interests party. Whereas the Reds desire radical social and economic change, the FTP is primarily concerned with farming subsidies, social security, and infrastructure, and is considerably less sympathetic to political and social leftism than the Reds.
