Social Democratic Homeland Party

The Social Democratic Homeland Party (SDVP) is a nationalist, corporatist, laicist and Tukaric nationalist political party in Kalopia. The party sprung out of the National Council for Peace and Order, the military junta which had governed the country in the period 4307–4314, and was first led by President Haşim Koç, who had been the head of the junta.

National Council for Peace and Order
On 25 October 4307, a group of predominantly Tukaric military officers seized power in Kalopia in a bloody military coup, which led to around 450 military and 240 civilian casualties. After taking power, the group, which was led by General Haşim Koç, announced the formation of the National Council for Peace and Order (BDUK), which was to serve as the country's ruling body for an indefinite period of time. Shortly thereafter, the BDUK instilled Koç as the President of Kalopia, and Captain Aziz Veysel Türkeş as Prime Minister of Kalopia. Koç stepped down from the presidency in 4314, and was succeeded in that position by Türkeş. Meanwhile, finance minister Cafer Sezeroğlu became the new premier.

Transition to democracy
In 4313 and 4314, there were speculations that the National Council for Peace and Order, having implemented most of its Tukaric nationalist and secularist agenda by then, would call fresh elections in the foreseeable future. Indeed, in April 4314, the junta officially announced its intention to hold elections in early 4315, as well as its own transformation into a political party in order to participate. The new party was named the Social Democratic Homeland Party, and chose Koç as its first leader. He declined, however, to seek the presidency or the premiership for himself, opting instead to govern the party and the country from behind the scenes.
