The Packilvanian Communist Party (Packilvanian: luHizab luKomunishme aBakhalifaniya) was the ruling party of Packilvania from 1918 to 1985.
Formation
The party was originally founded as the Feline Club, a caucus of Feline members of the Parliament of Packilvania in 1914. The Feline Club existed to consolidate and promote the interests of Feline citizens of Packilvania. The party was greatly influenced by the ideology of Nikobar Luden whose seminal works in the philosophy of Communism shaped their beliefs and policies. In 1917, Gideon Muktan became the Head of the Feline Club. He proposed renaming the Feline Club to the Packilvanian Communist Party and inviting other members of the public who shared similar beliefs to join and participate in its activities. They passed a Constitution and Gideon Muktan was declared the first General Secretary of the party. It was the first and so far only party that had been established in Packilvania.
The party attracted substantial support from disaffected parts of the population especially students and intellectuals. At the time Zerah Demir IV was orchestrating a political union between Great Morstaybishlia and Packilvania that would give rise to the formation of Morstopackia, a personal union under the son she sired with Thadeus I, Thadeus II. Due to the domination of students and members of the military aligned with the PCP, the party became increasingly militant and often orchestrated violent protests against the rule of the Demir dynasty and Sultana Zerah Demir IV. The Great War brought incredible social, economic and political hardship on the Feline people and entrenched inequality and hatred between Felines and Humans.
When Zerah Demir IV banned the party, arrested its leaders and dissolved the Parliament of Packilvania, over half the army defected to the Party and those parts of the army that defected became the Packilvanian People's Liberation Army. The PPLA and the Imperial forces fought a year long civil war against the Crown. When Zerah Demir IV proposed a meeting between her and the Communist leaders to call for a ceasefire, they arrested and deposed her. She escaped but had ceded power to the Packilvanian Communist Party.
The remaining Imperial Forces capitulated the the Packilvanian Communist Party declared the formation of the People's Republic of Packilvania.
Religious policy
The party began the systematic repression of religion in Packilvania including Paxism. They stripped the Magisterium of Paxism of its role in state politics and confiscated the Magisterium's wealth.
Colonial and foreign policy
The Communist Party granted independence to the colonies of Sorentavia, North Crencello and Albanares. Drakkengard was made a semi-autonomous state within the Packilvanian sphere of influence.
Economic and trade policy
Packilvania ended trade with Great Morstaybishlia. They began to practice a policy of autarky. This included restricted trade with the outside world especially liberal capitalist nations. It involved using Five Year Plans to direct economic policy. The government placed all land under its control. Furthermore, they took control of all industries and placed them under the control of state-owned enterprises.
The government placed agricultural land under the control of communes, stripping Peasant's of their land. Quotas were placed on the production of many goods and services in the country. State officials were placed in control of factories. The government prevented private corporations and investment. Many wealthy people were nominally stripped of their wealth. Those that sided with the party managed to keep their power and influence but those that resisted were rendered impoverished.
Social policy
The government pursued the policy of allowing women to work and hold posts in the Communist Party and government. The government also began the systematic cleansing of human beings in the 1950s and 1960s. This involved sending humans to labour camps where many of them perished, undertaking pogroms against them, forced relocation and mass starvation. This led to the largest genocide on history.
