| The first party, the IPGF favors keeping the Overlord in power, and is easily the most powerful party in the nation.  It is important to differenciate between the IPGF and the CFP.  The IPGF favors a more democratic approach to the Overlord's power.  The IPGF has been the dominant party for nearly the entire period of the Constitution.  It currently dominates both Houses of Congress.  It is also the party endorsed by [[jbfballrb]], which merely adds to its popularity.

| The conservative party was one of the first formed at the beginning of the republican era.  It has traditionally been the most successful party, having had 17 of the 26 chancellors.  It has not, however, had one since the mid-12th century.  This party generally favors keeping things the way they are, with little movement either farther left or farther right.

| The FLDP formed soon after the Constitution was ratified, and favors a true democracy, without an Overlord.  On anything, the FLDP favors a vote of the people, and thus is a popular party in some respects, yet many do not wish anything so democratic.  The party has held the position of Prime Minister twice, once in the mid-18th century and once in the aftermath of David Khou's fascism, during a wave of super-democracy that died soon thereafter.  Ever since it has consistently been the second-largest party, and one of two parties other than the IPGF to hold the office of Prime Minister.

| The CFP formed after the Civil War.  The leaders of this party support absolute power for the Overlord and for the smaller nationalities to become basically slaves.  This is different from the IPGF in that the CFP does not favor a parliament.  The CFP has never been especially popular, especially in the provincial area, which is why nearly all of its supporters live in the State of Footballia.

| The FS is in favor of Socialism, and thus is not high on the list of parties corporations donate to.  Because so much of [[Greater Footballia]] is dominated by corporations, the FS is not a popular party.  Also, while other companies receive much corporate funding, the FS receives virtually none.

| The National Party should not be confused with fascist groups.  While it is still a radical, right-wing party, it merely advocates an increased military presence and greater territorial gains for the Empire rather than an abolishment of any democratic systems, although some feel this is the ultimate goal of the party.
