Politics

The Coat of Arms of Southeastern Greenland

Southeastern Greenland's government is that of a socialist parliamentary democracy, and there is also an elected Prime-Minister, and a cabinet appointed by the Chancellor. The official Head of State holds the office of Chancellor, who has the power to appoint the cabinet and make limited decisions. Instead of electing candidates for the National Assembly, parties are elected. Here are the most powerful parties:

  • The People's Party (Democratic Socialist)-A socialist party that supports basic socialism and workers rights.
  • The Democracy Party (Liberals)-The main opposition party that wants to replace the current government with a more capitalistic one.
  • The Workers Party (Third Way)-A democratic socialist party that wants more capitalistic ideals in Southeastern Greenland's socialist system.
  • The Right Party (Moderate Right)-Supports extreme capitalism and conservative principles.
  • The Greenlander's National Party (Nationalist)-A far-right party that advocates everything from some form of parliamentary democracy to fascism. They are conservative about matters such as homosexuals and are generally percieved to be racist. Most of the GNP leaders have left the country because their frequent attempts have been fruitless.

History

The People's Republic was founded after a peaceful revolution and seperation from Denmark, and the policies that are in effect today were immeadiately put into place. There was some tumult in the region between the Vorachek and Yunuuk factions in the neighboring Greenland, but Southeastern Greenland called a meeting of the two factions in Angmagssalik, and the problem was solved by compromise. After its founding Southeastern Greenland has maintained a strong policy of neutrality, and it offers its nation to whoever needs a location to negotiate.
