==History==
The Green Party was established in the 1960s, when industrialisation led to increased pollution and destruction of the Oan Isles' natural habitat. Thus, young people and university students protested against the smog especially in major cities such as Tauranga a te Toka and called on the national government to act. The movement galvanized around a charismatic leader and they registered the Green Alliance as a non-profit. The Green Alliance supported its membersin seeking political office and was thus required by the Election Law to register as a political party. It did this, and became the Green Party. The Green Party faced major birthing pains due to the various conflicting interests and the radical nature of its members. Through time the organization began faltering, to the dismay of its senior leadership. They eventually forced the head of the party to resign and they Reformed the organization to be highly decentralized. Over time, other political parties dissolved and the Green Party rose to prominence and became the largest political party in the country.
==Ideology==
The Green Party ascribes to environmentalist social democratic ideals. It describes it a primary goals as advancing the protection and preservation of natural habitats, the responsible and sustainable use of natural resources, and the use of nature to improve the quality of life of the people of the Oan Isles. To achieve these goals, it uses Socialist democratic political thinking. For instance, it believes that the government should and must intervene in the free market to protect nature and ensure sustainability of natural resources through regulation and control of strategic economic sectors. It believes that the free market it inherently willing to threaten the natural environment and must thus be carefully watched to stop it. Thus, the Green Party has an uneasy relationship with large companies especially the Oan Petroleum Corporation (OAN OIL) as it believes the exploitation of fossil fuels in inherently evil.
