Horvathianism is now, but was not always, the least demanding of the religions. It requires a heartfelt faith in the BRADY, the HORVATH, and the SOCIALIST MIRACLE. It teaches that the BRADY cannot be understood in this world and that there must be a respect for the infinite totality of nature. Further, the HORVATH (I) should be respected for his ability to bring peace on earth and unity among the region's historic Socialist countries in the name of SUBOS. Finally, the Socialist Miracle must be respected, which means an understanding that all must be taken care of and have an equal say in the affairs of their own lives and the governance of the communities they live in. Aside from an expectation to travel to hear the HORVATH (I), or now claimed HORVATH II, in person, there are no other religion resembling requirements. | Horvathianism is now, but was not always, the least demanding of the religions.

Political Culture
The United Socialist States of Mulhollandgradia (USSM) is a federal parliamentary system. It is is composed of several former sovereign countries and territories, which are considered territories under the constitution and have federally appointed governors: MulhollandgradiaSSR, Pan HorvathiaSSR, RoonsburgSSR, IngenuusSSR, and HaraiSSR. With the exception of HaraiSSR, the other four territories were signators to the SUBOS (Soviet Union of the Brotherhood of Socialists) Pact, which provided for a common currency (EGU), common defence, and unity in the name of the HORVATH. As the role of individual governments became less necessary, the SUBOS structure took more presidence.
Ultimately, HORVATH II and Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. negotiated the SUBOS-USSM Equivalence Treaty. The Treaty provided for all of the aspects of SUBOS to be administered by the government of the USSM, with a direct election to be held for the position of Lord Protector. The position would be modified to become a lifetime appointment and the Chancellor would continue to be chosen through Parliamentary means. HORVATH II campaigned for the position of Lord Chancellor versus KATHRYN the great grand daughter of the last monarch and HORVATH II's second cousin. HORVATH II won the election resoundingly with 89% of the vote compared to KATHRYN 11%. Further, HORVATH II claimed to be the sucessor to his father in regards to his father's religious significance. This role was formally recognized as the first official act of the first Parliament after the Treaty.
Parliamentary Acts
1 - 7/27/05: The Opening Session of Parliament - Selection of Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. as Chancellor and confirmation of HORVATH II as the Lord Protector of the United Socialist States of Mulhollandgradia for life.
2 - 7/28/05: Confirmation that HORVATH II's religious significance is equal to his father HORVATH I
3 - 7/28/05: Agreement to move to the region, "Democratic Communist States". The motion passed 310-290. It was firmly supported by the LSP, supported by the CP, and vehemently opposed by the HSUP. HORVATH II respected the Constitutional ban on the Lord Protector commenting on politics, although he is rumored to have opposed the measure.
Religion in the USSM
Despite historic turmoil, 95% of the USSM identifies Horvathianism as their religious preference. The remainder of the country is split between Bradonianism (the predecessor to Horvathianism), Christian Communism, and HOPE.
Horvathianism is now, but was not always, the least demanding of the religions. It requires a heartfelt faith in the BRADY, the HORVATH, and the SOCIALIST MIRACLE. It teaches that the BRADY cannot be understood in this world and that there must be a respect for the infinite totality of nature. Further, the HORVATH (I) should be respected for his ability to bring peace on earth and unity among the region's historic Socialist countries in the name of SUBOS. Finally, the Socialist Miracle must be respected, which means an understanding that all must be taken care of and have an equal say in the affairs of their own lives and the governance of the communities they live in. Aside from an expectation to travel to hear the HORVATH (I), or now claimed HORVATH II, in person, there are no other religion resembling requirements.
History of the Revolutionary USSM
The Leonian Monarchy of Marc Richard II was overthrown by a Communist revolution involving Charles Leonardo Vinchensa, Paul Christopher Richardson, Sr., John Stalin, Raymond Cardinal Jackson, and Count San Giorgio. The Leonian Empire controlled most of the territory now controlled by the USSM. After the revolution, HORVATH I seized control in Pan Horvathia, an area to the East of the Leonian Capital. In the Southeast, Achmed the Snake quickly organized a Socialist and Pacifist Republic.
The leadership of the Revolution quickly allied with HORVATH I and Achmed the Snake. Count San Giorgio, a member of HORVATH I's court, had aided the revolution with his blessing. Further, HORVATH I prevented supplies from reaching his uncle Marc Richard II allowing the success of the revolution. He claimed that he did this understanding the inevitability of Communism and that he was an enlighted price. Charles Leonardo Vinchensa believed HORVATH I claimed and swore loyalty to him.
Charles Leonardo Vinchensa was elected the first Chancellor of the USSM and he appointed Paul Christopher Richardson, Sr. to the position of Lord Protector. At that point, the position of Lord Protector was solely a military position. Therefore, he was the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army.
History of SUBOS
As the country was established, Chancellor Vinchensa met with the leaders of Pan Horvathia and USSRoonsburg and established the SUBOS Treaty. The Treaty provided for an integrated defense structure, a common currency, and a common foreign policy. In light of the Treaty, USSRoonsburg opted to disband their army and be protected by the USSM.
The currency adopted was the Electronic Grain Unit (EGU). It was convertible at a fixed rate into grain. Therefore when an agrigultural crisis occured anywhere within SUBOS (or in a non-SUBOS ally), the USSM would wantonly distribute spare EGUs. However, these humanitarian acts, backed by an official promulgation that the USSM would help feed any Socialist country experience the pain of a "5-Year Plan" or "Great Leap Forward," placed enormous strain on Mulhollandgradian agriculture. The Parliament responded by banning meat eating, to provide additional grain (as animals consume much more grain than they produce in new food).
In response, the capitalists formed the Marshmellow Alliance led my McVania. Members included BlarghCo, Tinashappyplace, the Empire of Timmay, and the Lizonian. Later a puppet state of the USSM, the Free State of the Promethians, joined the Marshmellow Alliance. In response to the EGU, they adopted a common currency Monopoly Money. It had been argued that the name was an ironic insult against the EGU. Many believed that the EGU would fail and be as worthless as money in the game Monopoly. However, this was not the case. Both EGU and Monopoly Money became incredibly strong currencies, with EGU usally being stronger.
Religious Turmoil
As the Marshmellow Alliance grew in strength, a new power rose in the region, the Holy Empire of Bradonia. Fearful that Bradonia would ally itself with the Marshmellow Alliance, particularly because of the religiousity of the founder, Chancellor Vinchensa immediately declared Bradonianism the official religion of the historically atheist USSM. He announced persecutions of believers of HOPE, angering McVania. The BRADY, the religious leader of the Holy Empire of Bradonia, was pleased with the events and swore an alliance to the USSM. McVania swore revenge.
The Harai Crisis
The Mulhollandgradian - Pan Horvathia - Roonsburgian Civil War
. . . Over time the rivarly between those individuals loyal to Charles Leonardo Vinchensa and those loyal to Paul Christopher Richardson divided the country into two armies. In only a few month the USSM would be involved in a full-fledged civil war that caused intermintent warfare throughout the entire region. In light of the impending civil war, a referendum was defeated for the settlement known as New Mulhollandgradia to rejoin with the USSM. It instead opted to retain its political link with Islam-Judaism. However, the people did insist on New Mulhollandgradia being returned to the USSM 99 years later, when they hoped the country would be at peace and thriving again.
Less than a week after the referendum, the Chancellor dismissed Parliament and launched an assault on the the forces of the Lord Protector stationed at the religious city of Salvador Horvathia (The Savior Horvath). These actions initiated the Mulhollandgradian Civil War. The civil war waged between the forces of Lord Protector Charles Leonardo Vinchensa and Chancellor Paul Christopher Richardson. This shattered the federal government and provided the opportunity for the resurgence of monarchist forces loyal to KATHRYN. In the end, it came to be a three way struggle between the Lord Protector supporting HORVATH I, the Chancellor supporting traditional communism and the religion HOPE, and KATHRYN supporting national autonomy and a return to the monarchy.
As the three armies waged war, HORVATH I passed away. HORVATH II recalled the Lord Protector to Pan Horvathia for strategic consultation. Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. disagreed with his father's policies and publicly executed him. Before he could be eliminated for this treason, HORVATH II similarly publicly executed the Lord Protector and then declared that Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. had acted with respect to Horvathianism in regards to his act of patricide. The armies however did not immediately disband and Paul Christopher Richardson II commanded Pan Horvathian and USSRoonsburg allied forces. He waged war against the armies of his father, the Chancellor, and the Lord Protector for over two years.
Unexpectantly, KATHRYN's forces allied with Paul Christopher Richardson II and helped turn the tide of the war. As the war concluded, the leaders of the armies met with HORVATH II and agreed to peace terms. These terms led to the signing of the SUBOS-USSM Equivalence Treaty. The signatores were HORVATH II for Pan Horvathia, Achmed the Snake for USSRoonsburg, and Paul Christopher Richardson for the USSM. KATHYN was promised that she could run in the election for a lifetime appoitment to the position of Lord Protector.
The leaders of the other two armies were granted amnesty and allowed to lead Parliamentary Political Parties. The army of the Lord Protector founded the Horvathian Socialist Union Party (HSUP), the army of Paul Christopher Richardson, Sr. founded the Communist Party (CP). After KATHRYN's defeat she founded the Libertarian-Socialist Party (LSP). In the first post-war Parliamentary elections, the CP garnered 49%, the HSUP garnered 38%, and the LSP garnered 13% of the vote.
The Constitutional Protectorship
The CP and the LSP agreed to form a coalition government. The coalition agreement provided for the strengthening of social welfare and increased liberty, however it did not reach agreement over the issue of military spending. The agreement provided for Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. to become Chancellor and for KATHRYN to become Foreign Minister.
Chancellor Paul Christopher Richardson, Jr. spent his first days in office performing a major public relations blitz. Foriegn Minister KATHRYN identified a potential Libertarian-Socialist alliance to join and began to propose cuts in military spending.
