Res Belgica is the first largest political party in
Belgiumis trying to be a neutral moderating element in a highly
ATO/PTO polarized country right after its independence. The party is known for its pluralistic attitude to judge people based on their actions and not on their RL background, and for its preparedness to engage in constructive dialogue with all sides. Leaning towards the left wing of the political spectrum, Res Belgica is also dedicated to the ideals of solidarity and social assistance for those in need.
The party was taken over by shadowukcs early 2011 and was used in an attempt to bring more "lulz" to eBelgian politics, and didn't return until Xgentis Lempereur, a former Res Belgica party member, restored the party to its former glory.
History
UK BRP period
After Party President Manong Rizal left the Belgian Revolutionary Party and Belgium altogether at the beginning of December 2009, Kheops became the new front-man as the highest ranked member and he started reorganizing the internal party structure right away. At that point the BRP had about 10 active members. Shortly thereafter Belgium was conquered by the UK, and the BRP became part of its political landscape, seeking actively to gather young Belgian players who were now born in the regions of Brussels and Flanders under the British flag (Wallonia was still in the eUNl). This is also the period when the Social Department of the party was created with the purpose to support young Belgian players during their first days in eRepublik. A small influx of Flemish students was organized by Commissioner for Health & Social Services Aldous Zamiatin, and the small community became more numerous and more active, reaching a peak of about 45 members in early January 2010. In the meantime all Belgian regions were in the possession of eUK.
Back in Belgium - NDF
In January 2010, Belgium reappeared on the map after a successful Resistance war in Brussels. The man who had started the Resistance war as a personal project and with personal funds was a Romanian player unualibro, who claimed he only wanted to see Belgium become an independant and democratic nation, and he created the National Democratic Front party to achieve these ideals. Although many older Belgian players feared a Political Takeover, especially when literally hundreds of foreign players came to Belgium for the free citizenships, unualibro managed to gain the confidence of the BRP leaders by giving them key positions as a sign of his good intentions (he made NicknameFromRonny NDF's official candidate for Country Presidency and stepped aside to let uaithne become the Party President, leaving full control of the party in the hands of real Belgians), and most BRP members joined this new Belgian party. NDF managed to convince the general Belgian population that it had the best interests of Belgium in mind, and it was the only Belgian party in the Congressional elections on the 25th of January which had no support of foreign tactical voters.
Res Belgica
After the elections, which were decided by hundreds of tactical foreign voters, the old BRP core decided to open a new chapter in its history by renaming the party to Res Belgica in the early February of 2010, continuing its traditions of honest constructive dialogue, love of neutrality and special care for new citizens through social support. This has earned the party general respect from the representatives of other Belgian parties, and the activity and commitment of Res Belgica's leading members in Congress and in governmental positions has often been set as an example for others. Since February 2010 the party has almost always had representation in Congress, and in April 2010 Ragoth was elected by a landslide to lead Belgium as the first President from Res Belgica. Later Res Belgica's own MaryamQ and Sammy Tanghe held that position, shaping the nation in accordance to their views.
Role in eBelgian Government
Res Belgica has had a large in eBelgian Government since the parties beginning. But as of now, February 2012, Res Belgica has played a vital role in government. Res Belgica has the majority in Congress as of January 2012. They have had back-to-back-to-back presidents. Res Belgica also has been helping our young ones through MoHA, Minister of Home Affairs, and through the Belgian Training Academy by its Commander Nohjis and its 2nd Commander Bert_en_Ernie. Aldous Zamiathin has been running the Belgian Civilian Army as Commander for a while now. Sammy Tanghe is the Commander of Belgium's newest MU, Belgian Foreign Legion. All these fine players have been playing a vital role in eBelgian Government for a long time.
