Hoopenists

Background
Hoopenists are the followers of Jan Hoopen within the Reformed Political Party. Jan Hoopens power base was within the province of Uwakah, particularly amongst Episcopalians. Outside of the province Hoopenists were few in number, and held little power within the RPP. Even within Uwakah there was strong opposition to the Hoopenists within the party, although this was largely silenced after the Kirlawan-Dorvish Border War, as Hoopenists were brought into power with the Dorvish-Uwakah state. Pro-Dorvish Hoopenists also became more prominent in other sections of the RPP.

Ideology
Generally speaking there was no specific Hoopenist ideology, Hoopenists were literally followers of Jan Hoopen. However after the removal of André Rouvoet from his position as leader of the RPP, Jan Hoopen began to formulate a coherent set of policies in his attempt to gain leadership of the party. Generally his beliefs centred on establishing a Protestant Church in each of the five regions of Kirlawa, social conservatism in moral matter, and a belief in the advantages of a mixed economy. In 2337 Jan Hoopen was appointed leader of Dorvish-Uwakah, and Hoopenists generally participated in collaboration with the Military Occupation Authority. However the result of this, and the subsequent closer co-operation with Dorvish rightists, is that Hoopenists drifted towards fascism.
