The Libertarian Revolution
Kalistan's Libertarian Party was forced to deal with a fascist coalition consisting of the Benevolent Totalitarian Party and the National Socialist Reichspartai early in their history. This built up until 2076, when Libertarian supporters broke out into riots over the totalitarian regime in the LPK's base regions of Odufaray and Neveras, largely over accusations of rigged elections. The rally dissipated peacefully later in 2076, when after elections were held, LPK claimed a parliamentary plurality and gained control of the Presidency. This paved the path to the Kalistani Libertarian Revolution, which lasted from 2087-2101 and saw four Libertarian pluralities and two Libertarian presidents.

The Kalistan/Gaduridos War
The LPK and then-party Chairman Zonin Regal spearheaded the effort to bring a ceasefire to the conflict in Gaduridos. They took the reigns to the anti-war effort in 2066, and legislation to end the war was rebuked until, finally, the peace faction gained a majority in 2067.

The Long Exile and Return
In 2120, the Libertarian Party of Kalistan was found to be operating governmental forces in other counties, which is against international law. They were harbored in several countries and petitions to return were denied for half a millennium. Finally, in 2603 the party was given permission to return to Kalistan under the condition of severing that it would sever its ties to all other parties internationally. The party officially was restructured in Kalistan in 2605.
