History
Beginning Days
The Federalist Party was initially founded by JMP, J.G.T. Webb, Ethan Armstrong, Valerie, Rincewind, Patty, and NotAName. On 27 March 2020, the Conservative Party, which had split off previously, merged with the Federalist Party, through which a transitional FNC was formed with both of the NCs of the party's combined.
LOTRGate II
The party, suffering from a relatively large loss in the May 2020 Federal Elections, wished to recruit Representative John Darby as Speaker of the House for their caucus to regain power. However, Representative Lohengramm came out against this plan, and shortly after leaked FNC members calling Darby a "dumbass" and a "failure." This lead to Lohengramm, Randy Rhombus, and System Jones to leave the party, weakening them even more. On May 7th, the party took the largest blow. In a Veritas Post podcast, System revealed a private chat between former Conservative Party members, leading to what can be called the ``Federalist Exit``; many prominent members of the party, including President Valerie and Vice President Cabin left the party. Computerguy15 the one remaining member of the national committee officially shut down the party on May 11th, 2020. And just like that, the largest party was gone, leading to two new right-wing parties, the Libertarian Party and the American Solidarity Party. We have yet to see what happens with these parties, along with the Classical Liberal Party, which are all in a partnership.
Policies

Economics Policies
Federalists believed in the gradual abolition of the Federal Welfare Programs that fall under the American Welfare state and instead giving the different states control over their welfare systems. They also aimed to create a national job initiative to help low-income individuals find a job that suits their needs and skills.
Defense Policies
The Federalists were non-interventionists. They advocated for drastically reducing defense spending and for the use of diplomacy and trade instead of military intervention.
Environmental Policies
Most members of the party believed climate change is a real threat, although there were differences between them in regards to how big of a threat it is. The party's vision for environment was the abolition of harmful mining and fracking from public land, a taxation system that incentives clean energy and shifting the American energy grid to a nuclear-based carbon-neutral infrastructure.
