New name
The Realistische Conservatieve Partij Knootoss (Realist Conservative Party of Knootoss) is as a split-off from the Conservatieve Partij (Conservative Party). The split occured when a manipulated Conservative Party congress elected the controversial far-right Dick Tator as its new leader, which eventually led to the Shadow War. After the Shadow War, the original split-off party replaced the Conservative Party, which was banned with its members imprisoned in Lavenrunz.
