Lovian Alliance

The Lovian Alliance is a minor social-liberal political party.

History
The origins of the Lovian Alliance begin in 1968 when the Oceana Yippie movement (a local chapter of the Youth Internationals) was founded. Paul Ricard (a French-Oceana liberal), Lindsay Sullivan (a Marxist) and Alexander Ský (Christian). Their original goal was to promote democracy in Lovia. Soon there were local chapters in other states and Lovian Yippies were engaging in rallies, protests and sit-in's. Though not as radical as their American counterparts, they were viewed by Lovian society as being "bad teens" and a menace to society. Over time, the party's ideology shifted and in 1980 it adopted the name of "Lovian Alliance".

Ideology
The principal ideology of the party is Oceana state-ism (and state-ism in general). Basically this means more state rights and more autonomy to decide legal matters (basically create a state like Spain where regional cultures are protected).


 * All residual powers (those not covered in the constitution or laws) should be given to the state
 * The PM should be directly elected by the people
 * The supreme Court should consist of at least 2 lawyers
 * States should work together to form a counterbalance to the federal government
 * States should be allowed to establish their own welfare services to help its citizens
 * The government should strive to protect Lovia's diverse and distinct cultural/language groups
 * Oceana first/Sofasian first policy: these languages should be taught to schoolchildren from an early age to ensure they don't die out
