Kietul Njartikt - Civic Renewal

Civic Renewal (Vaaran: Kietul Njartikt /kɪetul nʲaɹtikt/), colloquially known as the Civvies, is an industrialist-communist political party in Aduraszna. Formed in the early days of Aduraszna by philosopher Keri Eler, whose works had also inspired the Midwinter Revolution in Kireitarenu'a, the party has seen limited electoral success, and has never left the opposition benches, although they occasionally vote with the government with regards to state infrastructure projects. Civic Renewal currently have six members of parliament (MPs) in the Aszar Chamber of Representatives, and one senator, Laukrais Ra'ak (the sister of Solidarity senator Fvelun Ra'ak), in the Federal Office.
