White Guard (Trigunia)

The White Guard (Rodshyan: Белая гвардия tr. Belaya gvardiya) formerly the All-Trigunian Patriotic Union (Rodshyan: Все трыгоном патриотический союз) is a major right-wing, nationalist and monarchist political party in the Trigunian Empire. The White Guard is the political representation of the nobility of Trigunia in the State Duma, they are lead by an elected Ober-Curator who is both leader of the Imperial Senate (the association of nobles in Trigunia) and the party. The All-Trigunian Patriotic Union was founded in early 3830, almost ten years before the foundation of the White Guard. The ATPU was founded on the principles of restoring order to a lawless Trigunia, as well as re-positioning Trigunia as one of the leaders of international affairs. The party enjoyed widespread support and restore a great deal of order and stability to the Trigunian state, eventually forming the Trigunian Federation. The institutions which the ATPU built will likely last for generations to come.

In early 3837 the Trigunian Monarchist Association and the Imperial Senate met to discuss the future of monarchism in Trigunia. Representatives from the ATPU attended the conference and became involved in the organization. Deputy Minister for Internal Affairs Count of Semyenovo Yermola Golovin announced that he would be founding a faction within the ATPU to push for the restoration of the monarchy. Count Golovin was appointed as a member of the Imperial Council, the advisory body of the Tsar of Trigunia as an Imperial Councilor. Count Golovin's faction garnered much support in the ATPUs General Council and several members of the Supreme Council switched allegiance from the Federation Faction to the newly named White Guard Faction.
