The DDR at its foundation was a traditional socialist state, they United Social-Democratic Party controlled all aspects of the economy and held onto a total war economy as a means to combat the Dundorfian Reich in the series of conflicts and events known as the Collapse of the Dundorfian Reich. Tiberius Bauer remained as the State President of the DDR throughout the entire history of the first the DDR and served as one of the chief negotiators of the Dunburg peace conference.

The DDR controlled by the United Social Democratic Party headed by General-Secretary and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee which acted as the de facto decision maker of the DDR. Tiberius Bauer served as the General-Secretary of the United Social Democratic Party and was the de facto leader of the Dundorfian Democratic Party. The organization of the United Social Democratic Party served as a blueprint for other socialist and communist movements throughout the world, several parties would go on to adopt the organization which the United Social Democratic Party would create. The Dundorfian were well known for their order and organizational skills, despite the differences between the conservatives and socialist, they shared many common values in different sides of the political spectrum, a virtue that would later become an important building block in the peace process.
