Kyo Defense Force

The Virtuous Alliance Dranland (Kyo. 유덕 동맹; Dran. Virtuosa Alianza Drania; Drad. Cynghrair Rhinweddol; Abbr. VAD/KDF) is a centre-left political party in the Republic of Dranland. The party formed out of the Kyo Defense Force, a student organization founded at Gongmangdo University following the 2/20 terrorist attacks on Gongmangdo-Comares.

Throughout the nation the party goes by the 'Virtuous Alliance' name, except for in the Elbian Province. Within this province the party maintains its original organization name as the Kyo Defense Force (KDF). Within Elbian all operations of the VAD are under the KDF name; nonetheless the two are one in the same and share the exact same leadership and structure.

Origins
Following the 20 February 3490 terrorist attack on Gongmangdo-Comares, which killed nearly 700, including former president Sun Gyeong-yun, the organization known as the Kyo Defense Force was founded. This group was established by Gongmangdo University (GU) students who had been affected by the 2/20 attacks and the KDF sought justice in the attacks. The KDF took up an active role in helping the recovery of the city and in lobbying for government assistance to the area. Later on the organization also became vocal in advocating for the banning of Exalted Phalanx for National Renewal (FERN) for their alleged election tampering and their connections to the 2/20 attacks. In March of 3492 the KDF was targeted by the National Revolutionary Army, FERN's paramilitary, in the bombing of a student apartment complex at Gongmangdo University. The incident resulted in no deaths, but injured 18 students.

Following the 3494 elections the KDF began to consider reorganizing itself as a political party. The recent elections saw a surge in the number of radical members of parliament and the KDF felt that the government was in an increasingly dangerous position. By July the planning had been finalized the Kyo Defense Force became a national political party under the name of Virtuous Alliance Dranland. However, the KDF named was maintained in Elbian. By the fall of 3494 there had been a collapse of a number of parties, including Werin Deg - The Fair Folk and the Dranish Hosian Democrats. And by this point, FERN had also been banned under a successful government initiative by Interior Minister Constance Woodhall. Due to this sudden exit of many members of parliament, early elections would soon have to be called yet again.
