Pravda (Russian: Правда, "The Truth") Fiefdom Edition, better known as The Fiefdom Pravda, is one of the most popular newspapers in the Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom and the official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Otiacicoh. The Fiefdom Pravda has been in operation since 1948, when it was founded by Xavier Heinlein (later accredited to Noel Hoogaboom who, while giving his support to the paper, was not actively involved in publication until the early 1950s) on permission from Moscow. Pravda superseded an earlier publication, The Voice of All Peoples, which was founded by the Communist Party's founder Moshe Makhoul. The newspaper was formally a major conduit for relaying Party decisions to the citizenry of the Fiefdom, and therefore operated as yet another form of propaganda. Today's paper, while still affiliated to the Party and using the old logo Organ of the Central Committee, is hardly (if ever) controlled by the Central Committee and functions as a quality, left-wing broadsheet in the newly liberalised media of Otiacicoh, free to criticise even the Party which produces it.

The party's symbol, if it can be termed as such, consists of the two Order of Marx medals that it has been awarded over the course of its sixty years of printing.
