The Kodiak Social Democratic Party
From The Kodiak Republic Wiki
The Kodiak Social Democratic Party (KSDP) is a party focused on technological advancement, social democratic principals and economic growth. We look to improve the lives of every citizen of the Serene Republic of Kodiak through infrastructure, education focused on STEM degrees, and international trade.
Originally founded as The Progress Party of Kodiak, the party started as a movement early on after the integration of the Bromannikhan Kingdom in 505. While the party remained small, the ideas and principles of the organization have stayed relatively constant over the years. Over time newer ideas folded into the party and eventually after a series of political shifts and opportunistic timing, it merged with The Democratic Party of Kodiak creating The Democratic Progress Party of Kodiak (DPPK). The DPPK for many years held a major role as "Kingmaker" within the General Assembly. This role allowed the DPPK to push its political agendas and forced other major parties to form coalitions with it in order to form a majority. Later in 668 The Kodiak Social Alliance merged with the DPPK which formed the KSDP.
The KSDP has held many major positions in the General Assembly, mostly a long history of Presidencies, but also many ministry positions.
