European Progressive Party

The European Progressive Party was biggest ever party in the The European Council, led by Tomad, the leader of Iberia, and madeyousuffer, another Iberian and former Kirschite. It was very supportive of protectionism, with one of its main policy suggestions being that EC nations only trade with eachother. However, this policy drew the ire of countries like Vuvuzuela Communist Shithole, who embargoed the EC. It also supported the construction of a rail network, and one was starting to be built in Illuccia. It was ambivalent on the policy of unionism, as it was originally opposed to the idea, but eventually became slightly more open to a european federation.

It did not exist in the first election, but once Iberia joined, it surged into being the biggest party - in the Parliament, it was larger than all other parties combined by 6 seats. It completely overshadowed the former major parties of the NIP and NMP - on this defeat, Pine, the leader of the NIP, jokingly claimed that he would sue the EPP for having "stolen my [voter] base".

It obviously did very well in Iberia, but also got a majority of the votes in continental Sacrania, as well as having widespread appeal in most countries, except for Austria-Hungary and Scotland.

After Solace World 2 was finished, an obvious fact was officially revealed - that Tomad and Iberia wanted to control all of Europe. However, this would probably have been more work for them than it was worth.
