Political Parties

The Kivreskov is populated by several political parties, including:

• Communist Party: to ensure equality among the classes and complete removal of private ownership.
• Democratic Party: to hold elections for all positions of office, including that of the premier and to push for more freedoms of the individual.
• Equality Party: to give more rights to provinces and decrease the authority of the Vekaiyun state over individual provinces.
• Meritocratic Party: to transform the Vekaiyun state into a state of enlightenment and ensure all positions are distributed on qualifications of the individual only.
• Progressive Party: to continue the reformations established by Ikrisia Levinile, improve Vekaiyun arts and sciences, and improve Vekaiyu's image on an international level.
• Conservative Party: an off-shoot of the Progressive Party which has similar goals but stresses the importance of Vekaiyun culture and more separation between Vekaiyu and The Vekaiyun Union.

To date, the Progressive Party has dominated the Kivreskov, but elections in 2016 has reduced their influence. Premier Ikrisia Levinile has chosen not to affiliate with a political party, but the Progressive Party has historically aligned itself to her policies.
