House of Avingnon-AVNG

====

The Great New Order (GNO) was formed in 2912 by Lord Henric Avingnon, 6th Earl of Avingnon, who became its chairman on creation. It arose in response to the actions of the National Coalation Party (NCP) and began the fight to preserve traditional values from socialist inroads. Soon after the founding of the GNO, another party arose claiming to support a candidate for the abolished monarchy. The GNO flew into an uproar since many members of the party were staunch royalists and threatened to defect to the new organization. Lord Avingnon restored order by formalizing the well known Avingnonian right to the monarchy by personally laying claim to the throne. This deft act both held the GNO together and strengthened Lord Avingnon's hold over the party at once. The party claims that he showed formal geneological proof in the form of legal documents to back his claims, these documents have not yet been publicly released, but are expected to be available soon. In the interim Lord Avingnon has defended his claim with the following statement made to an interviewer in a story that mae national news, the statement follows:

Lord Avingnon, " 'I do not claim to be the last monarch's heir, such a claim would be absurd to anyone who knows their nobility. I am however claiming my heritage as the direct descendant of the first duke, Duke Leigh the first ruler of Keymon. After the Leigh family went extinct in the male line, the line was traced matrilinealy to the house of Avingnon. It was claimed that succession could only be passed through the male line and so Avingnon was passed over. This assumption was flase, laws of the time made no mention of gender in succession. The House of Avingnon has quietly claimed to be the rightful rulers of Keymon since. It is now time for House Avingnon to take it's rightful place as the ruling dynasty of Keymon. We will shortly be altering our name and manifesto to reflect these new developments and hope the nation will support the return of our family to power.' "

After the story ran, the party promtly changed its name from the GNO to the House of Avingnong (AVNG). It also made minor changes to its stated agenda, most notably the stated goal of reestablishing the monarchy. The AVNG agenda follows:

"The House of Avingnon AVNG Is dedicated to bringing a new golden age to the people of Keymon.

AVNG will stop at nothing to see Keymon rise to greatness and influence.

While we respect many of the positions of our opposition we feel that their overall views do not reflect the more traditional will of the people.

We rise to put ourselves forward as an alternative.

Stated mission of AVNG: The nation must be ruled a strong, legitimate monarch. This monarch will come from the House of Avingnon. The nation must have a strong central bureaucracy supported by a powerful central government, creating a unitary system. The nation must give rights to the citizen in regards to civil liberties, but stability must not be sacrificed. The nation must realize that God created the environment, we need worry little about the puny affects of man upon the vastness of nature. The nation must be aware of international events, but sovereignty cannot be sacrificed in the slightest degree. The nation must have a large central government to provide stability and strength when times of turmoil come. The nation must accept that capitalism is the only efficient and free way to build national wealth. The nation must know when to attack and when to keep peace, but a nation should never let itself be attacked first. Strike before your enemy is ready, as soon as you know he is an enemy. The nation must fight the tide of evil decay that gnaws at traditional values. Only through holy and time honored tradition will we achieve glory. The nation must put God before all, seeking his will in all things, adhering to the collective voice of AVNG, His representatives to the people of Keymon."
