Politics

Political History
During the decline of the Stalburg Steel, martial law was declared on December 17th, 1981. This caused the traditional parties to dissolve and be completely replaced by new generation of political parties. The new defining axes are liberal vs authoritarian and technological vs anti-technological.

Ethos & Pathos
Believes in art, culture and freedom of expression and partially questions the "progress" and money even when it approves at least some technologies. During the events of INFRA, Greenwar attempted to rig the local election in their favor by sabotaging the people's cars and the local metro station.

Humane Party
Believes that since the decline of the industry and infrastructure the technology is failing the people and that now we should return to the "old ways" with strict rules regarding technology and value social interaction more.

Interne.ts

Evidently, some supporters of this party are hackers that hacked NCG servers during the events of INFRA.

Militarist Party
The most authoritarian party promoting very security related politics and values. They also believe that the city needs strict order to bring it back to it's former glory.

This party formed after Martial Law ceased, by members of former military government, and may have association with S.N.W.
