7 (regionalist party)

7 (full name the Seven Regionalist Party) is a political party promoting the culture of the state of Seven.

History
7 was created by Niamh McQuillan, daughter of a farmer from British Island. As a young girl, McQuillan travelled the state with her father as he visited a number of farmers' markets, and was struck with the diversity of cultures on Seven which co-existed with one another.

As a young woman, she became a teacher in the elementary school in Kinley, where she ran a club teaching students about their history. She soon found that adults were also interested and after expanding her club became one of the most popular figures in Seven.

James Buchanan, the Governor between 2000 and 2004, hired her in 2003 as his political advisor in an attempt to gain popularity. McQuillan did not like the heavily obese and lazy governor, and decided after his death in 2004 to form the political party 7. She ran on its platform in the 2004 state elections but lost out narrowly to Jude Almore.

Standpoints

 * Some level of autonomy for the State within Lovia.
 * Grassroots democracy, whereby the people can make decisions without Congress. Congress would retain all power.
 * Protection of threatened traditional Lovian goods by imposition of tariffs.
 * Compulsory Russian and/or Pennsylvanian German lessons in schools.
 * Tax on house prices for outsiders to prevent the local culture being diluted by rich Southerners being property in Kinley.
 * Make Seven the most environmentally friendly state in Lovia. Create new National Parks.
 * Financial support for local businesses.
 * Immigrants must pass a culture test before being given a residence permit.
 * Construction of a local secondary school, so students are not forced to study in Kings.
