%%->'''Role:''' Hetman[[note]]Country Leader[[/note]] (Pavlo succession)
%%->'''Party:''' Ukrainskyi Soiuz Khliborobiv-Derzhavnykiv/Ukrainska Demokratychna Khliborobska Partiia[[note]]Ukrainian Union of Agrarians-Statists/Ukrainian Democratic Agrarian Party: Semi-formally known as the "Hetman's Coalition", the political alliance between the two main Ukrainian Conservative Parties has a controversial history. Founded in 1918, the Ukrainian Democratic Agrarian Party (originally the Ukrainian Democratic Party) sought to portray itself as the prime Ukrainian (as opposed to "Greater-Russian in Ukraine") conservative political force. Their politics combine notable economic interventionism with law and order policies, all wrapped up in a package with a strong executive and an influential parliament. The party's leadership was also instrumental in helping bring the Hetman to power. The Union of Agrarian Statists would split off on the eve of the 1924 elections, but was forced into a coalition with the Agrarian Democrats to preserve a conservative majority. The [=USKhD=], espousing Lypynskyi's classocratic ideals and anti-parliamentarian sentiment, has acted as the junior partner in the coalition.[[/note]], Ukrainska Radykalno-Demokratychna Partiia[[note]]Ukrainian Radical Democratic Party: With roots in some of Ukraine's oldest cultural and educational organisations, the Ukrainian Radical Democratic Party is a truly historic entity, with a significant number of its notable members belonging to the Intellectual Class. Its success in the most recent national elections forced the nomination of one of the most centrist prime ministers in the young nation's history, Dmytro Doroshenko. Advocating for parliamentarism, devolution and progressive economic policies, the party has gained traction outside of the intellectual class. The party is united around the leadership of Oleksandr Shulhyn, Oleksandr Lototskyi and Vlacheslav Prokopovych.[[/note]] (Danylo elections), Ukrainska Sotsial-Demokratychna Robitnycha Partiia[[note]]Ukrainian Social Democratic Workers' Party: One of the oldest Ukrainian political forces, the USDRP was the main socialist force in Ukraine until the 1917 revolutions, before being eclipsed by the UPS-R. After the Hetman's coup, the party nonetheless remained very influentional in exile. Advocating for parliamentary republicanism, democratic socialism in the Marxist tradition, and for sweeping social reform, the party's reformist agenda is popular among the workers and peasants.[[/note]] (Danylo post-war elections)

In the face of undeniable French ideological influence, the reorganised Latvian Communist Party is split between those who would embrace a more syndicalist identity and those who would not.[[/note]]]]

* HonorBeforeReason: Unlike the more pragmatic radical socialist Socialist Revolutionaries, the Borotbysts are radical supporters of syndicalism and the Third Internationale. If one was to look at Ukraine, they would notice it is surrounded by Germany and her puppets, Austria, and a (usually) anti-socialist Russia, all of whom would be very hostile to a socialist Ukraine. Despite this, the Borotbysts rise the country up in a rebellion with the Internationale only barely able to help, starting the second Weltkrieg and creating one of the most NintendoHard challenges in Kaiserreich.

%%->'''Role:''' Chairman[[note]]Country Leader[[/note]] (Released by a Totalist country)
%%->'''Party:''' Ukrainska Komunistychna Partiia[[note]]Ukrainian Communist Party: Picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the destruction of Bolsheviks active in Ukraine, the UKP really had its work cut out for them. Forming at an emigre conference in Paris, the delegates at the Ukrainian Communist Party's Constituent Assembly were primarily former Bolsheviks who operated in Ukraine, as well as a few Radical Ukrainian Communists who, for one reason or another, decided to forgo activities within either the Borotbyst Movement or the Council-Revolutionary Bloc. In spite of taking much from the old Bolshevik political platform, there was a key difference nonetheless: A reassessment of the importance of the Ukrainian National Question. Although the UKP agreed to solidify this "nationally-minded" course through a comfortable majority, there was still the question of the UKP's overall goal. Should it seek to join Ukrainian Revolutionary Structures and forgo any ties to the possible Revolution in Russia or continue to try and fraternise with the Russian Revolutionary Movement, naturally weakening the ties to the Ukrainian one? As such, multiple fractions emerged. In the end, the overall leadership of the party went to Vlas Chubar, who represented a tenuous internal compromise and was seen as a leader capable of starting a new chapter in the history of the revolutionary movement. Nevertheless, so far, any and all attempts by the UKP to establish a political foothold have mostly failed.[[/note]]

%%->'''Role:''' Chairman[[note]]Country Leader[[/note]] (Released by a Syndicalist/Totalist country)
%%->'''Party:''' Studentų socialistų aušrininkų draugija 'Aušrinė[[note]]The Society of Socialist Students 'Aušrininkai' is a semi-formal student movement which first organised around the magazine Aušrinė ('Morning Star') in 1910. Not long after its inception, it took a straight dive towards socialism, influenced by Benoît Malon and Peter Kropotkin, and, ultimately, revolutionary syndicalism. It was forced out of schools and universities and ultimately banned by executive order in 1923, but continued spreading its ideas through the underground. Using dummy organisations to cover up their activities and publishing their magazine through ever-changing names and titles, and sometimes taking up left-wing terrorism, they remain a headache for any Lithuanian government. Aušrinė stands out among worldwide Syndicalist organisations by being a 'writers' party' - the absolute majority of their members are intellectuals, poets and writers, as such it is a lively community and their ideology is untainted, but they command little popular support.[[/note]]

Before the 0.23 update, Poland at the start of the game has an empty throne and is loosely ruled by a Regency Council, who have for well over a decade ruled the country and tried to settle on a new king, a state of affairs that have torn at the fabric of society and resulted in near anarchy in some parts of the nation. After the "Not Yet Lost" update and rework, Poland is ruled by King August IV, a younger son of Kaiser Wilhelm and a well-meaning but vacillating monarch. He is a king who prefers the company of artists and men of culture as opposed to soldiers and politicians and thus lacks the respect of his royal father and the trust of his adopted countrymen. The country is the battleground of an economic cold war between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, each controlling large swathes of Poland's economy and hungering for more, each maneuvering to place their advisors near to the king's ear. Agitators work to overthrow the monarchy and return Polish republicanism or seize power for themselves. And behind them all, agents and funds of the Third Internationale flow into the country in a vast conspiracy, swaying government ministers and tilting the levers of power to break the chains of the Polish people and bring the German Empire's nearest ally under the umbrella of Syndicalism.
