no but i really should make a study of westerns soon

No sorry, it's just me and a small group of friends doing it among ourselves

The socialist color is blue due to the popular early socialist slogan that workers should own everything "from the ground to the sky," hence the Communard faction of the SSLP is dubbed the Blues whereas the Greens get their name from the national flag

Imagine a combination of Weimar Germany (humiliating peace treaty inflicted by a historic enemy, far-right agitating to unite with a nearby culturally linked province) and Restoration France (a somewhat moderate king who has to deal with royalists more royalist than him)

have hit the party hard. But the economic recession roiling Sigria and the recent collapse of the National Union's coalition have shown that the staid politics of the previous 13 years may not last forever, and the flame of socialism may yet burn bright

The Greens were dealt a hard blow when the July Coup's leadership, after reaching a humiliating peace with Arzawa and deposing the old king, still banned socialist parties as traitors to Sigria. Factional infighting and the decline of the maritime industries that previously had militant unions

The Sigrian socialist tradition is fatally compromised by the split between the Blues, the more radical socialists who supported the Communes so that they could support the invasion from their Arzawan comrades, and the Greens who stayed loyal to the monarchy and Sigria in the war

I mean it didn't help but I already knew that largely lol
