Political parties

Political parties in Talossa have been a source of both strife and support for the nation. For many years, under King Ben, the monarch's political party remained in perpetual majority. Opposition parties were tolerated, but seldom permitted to attain significant political power (aside from very temporary circumstances, such as the brief Peculiar Republic brought about by People United for No King. The currently reigning sovereign of Talossa, King John, has maintained a scrupulous policy of independence from political parties, refusing to endorse, interfere with, or in any way enter into a relationship with a political party. This is intended to help a vibrant democracy continue to flourish and grow, in stark contrast to King Ben's manipulations.

An official political party in Talossa is required to register a party leader and a statement of fifty words with the Secretary of State, as well as a fee (Org.6.2.). Political parties differ along ideological bases, such as derivativism and peculiarism or royalism and peculiarism, as well as on specific policies, such as broosking or semi-permeability.
