Republican Party (GCP)

Conservative Party of Rutania is a party in the Commonwealth of Rutania. Formerly named as the "National Independent Party" and "Progressive Conservative Association of Rutania", the party was founded in 3147 by group of political independents who wanted to preserve the traditional values of the nation. The party's first leader was Robert W. Rockefeller, who has been a key figure of the party for framing the party's core principles. The delegates of the majority faction decides the party's ideological stance.

History
The party has been founded by Carl Daniels, a political figure who was responsible for the formation of the National Independents Organization (NIO). The National Independent Party was formed when the Commonwealth of Rutania was facing a political instability when the New Front Alliance (a former Rutanian party) declared war against the Rutanians. Political parties of Rutania, including the NIP, have passed a bill for the complete halt of the potential war that was about to take place which would have been catastrophic. Fortunately, the Rutanian parties were able to negotiate with the opponent's majority party to safely stop the war with minor casualties from both sides.

Formation of the Party
The National Independent Party (originial party name) was formed in February of 3121 and became official in 3147. NIP was introduced to the parliament by a majority vote from the electorates. Since the introduction of the new parties, the Rutanians felt there should be a party that would preserve the distinct nature and characteristics of Rutania that shaped the nation since its foundation. Hence, the NIP centralized the party's platform towards maintaining the political cohesiveness and the country's nationalist beliefs.

Present
In 3191, the party changed its name to "Conservative Party of Rutania" from its orignial name, National Indepdent Party (NIP), by the delegates' agreement. Currently, the CPR is lead by a senior party member, Harry Clinton, successor of Anthony Rumsfeld, as the fourth leader of the party. The party is also affiliated with its own party organization, IDU (International Democrat Union). The Conservative Party emphasizes political realism and cohesiveness. The party maintains the rationality of their political behaviors by adhereing to the party's core principles on the basis of protecting the essential rights of Rutanians. Since the party's ideology is set by the majority faction within the party, it is positioned in center-right of the political spectrum.
