Danylo Palij (born Danylo Beps Palij; Данило Бепс Палій, 16 May 1935) was a North Vinalian politician and former People's Minister-President of North Vinalia. Known for his founding the New Nation Party, and the following New Nation Movement between 1966 and 1975, which saw vast social and cultural changes in North Vinalia, based on ideals similar to those of the same time in Swetania.

Born in 1935 in Chervona, Danylo was conscripted into the People's Liberation Army in 1953, and saw action in the 100 Day War as a medic being wounded once. Palij was awarded a Union Cross for his actions, and was granted the opportunity to study in Swetania, where he studied medicine in the University of Swetapolis, being heavily influenced by the Ideologisierung movement. Palij would return in 1960 and establish the New Nation Party which stood out among the parties in North Vinalia do to it's more radical stances.

In 1966 Palij would become Minister-President of the People's Assembly following a landslide victory over other parties, with vast support from Unions, Palij would oversee vast reforms in North Vinalia, attempting to emulate the successes of Swetania through it's program of ideological changes. New Nation North Vinalia would find itself at odds with the increasingly dictatorial and radical Southern Vinalia under military rule, a series of terror strikes organized by opposition groups created fear in the system, in 1975, over concerns of possible superiority of the South in the coming years a pre emptive strike in the 31 Day War, resulted in the defeat of the North, and the ousting of Palij afterwards. Palij would remain in relative obscurity for the rest of his life, quietly retiring in 1985 from politics, and establishing a newspaper the Chervona Intellectual. Palij would die in 2009 after suffering from a heart attack.

Military service

Danylo would be conscripted in May 1953 upon reaching the age of 18, initially attracted by the prospect of becoming a pilot, was instead convinced by his father to join the medical corps of the army, as Palij desired to become a doctor after his 2 years of service. Palij was assigned to the 31st Infantry Division stationed in Norelinsk in the Southern Front after graduating, Palij was selected as part of a group of medics sent to Chistovodia for 5 month training in March 1954, and was stated as highly motivated by Chistovodian authorities. Upon returning, Palij applied to the Chervona Military Academy seeking to become a Medical officer as he intended on staying in the army after his mandatory conscription was over, he was accepted and started his studies in September 1954 but the general mobilization of all army personnel in February 1955 in preparation for a Southern offensive stopped his studies.

The 100 Day War would explode in March 1955, when North Vinalian forces pre emptively attacked South Vinalia mainly in the Voly Na heights surrounding Nazica. The 31st Infantry Division remained in Norelinsk throughout March facing little combat until the 19th of April Southern offensive that saw an attempted Southern encirclement of Norelinsk launched. Palij was involved during the battle of Norelinsk and was one of the units trapped in Norelinsk throughout April, and May until Northern forces broke through the 3rd of June. Palij was involved in the attack from Norelinsk outside, remarking the scariest moment of his life, during the brief siege Palij had been involved in treating civilian and military alike, citing how his training in Chistovodia proved fundamental as he was able to treat a variety of injuries earning him praise. Palij was wounded on the outskirts of Norelinsk the 5th of June, Palij was rescuing a wounded soldier after he had been hit by a sniper, Palij was the only one to volunteer to retrieve the soldier which was some 25 meters away from Northern lines, during the rescue Palij was hit once in the hip by sniper fire but continued to carry the wounded man. Palij and the man both survived, Palij was transported first to a field hospital then to a Chervona hospital were he had surgery.

Palij would recover from the surgery but would not see combat again as the war ended a couple days later on the 10th of June. Palij was awarded the Red Star for being wounded, and the Union Cross for his bravery. He participated in the September 1st Independence parade, after which having served past his conscripted requirements left the army, having lost interest in continuing his officer studies, or his career in the army.

Studying in Swetania

As part of a Swetanian effort to rebuild North Vinalia it offered access to Swetanian universities for anyone wishing to study, Palij was personally invited to attend Swetapolis University to study medicine based on his awards and military service, Palij accepted and moved to Swetania after leaving the army. Upon arriving in Swetania Palij remarked at the beauty and progress the Swetanians had made stating the future to be in the country, upon learning of this Swetanian authorities made Palij a contributor to local newspapers, he was also contacted to become a foreign correspondent of the Chervona Star in Swetania a position he agreed to.

Palij would become interested in politics and joined the Vinalian-Swetanian Committee for Advancement in the University of Swetapolis, where he would climb to become it's president in 1958. Palij had average grades, and concerns over whether he would sufficiently finish his studies were raised by the North Vinalian embassy in Swetania, Palij was moved by such interest and promptly left his position as foreign correspondent to the Chervona Star, graduating in 1959 with above average grades, and finishing his degree satisfactory. Palij would travel to Chistovodia in the summer of 1959, in a Vinalian sponsored cultural exchange, during this he would meet his first wife the Chistovodian-Vinalian Palana Khvylov a fellow doctor. Palij would return to Swetania working for the Red Star once more, he would be offered in September 1959 an opportunity to return to Chervona to work as a contributor, he was also offered an opportunity to study in the University of Chervona. He would accept the position of contributor.

Return to the north

Palij arrived in Chervona in August 1959, eager to begin his work. During this time he would meet Palana once more which was working in Chervona as a doctor after having been sent in a humanitarian Chistovodian mission, they would both promptly marry the 29th of December 1959. Upon returning Palij would establish the New Nation Party, citing it's intention on creating a Vinalian version of the Ideologisierung from Swetania.
