View source for Republican Party (GOP)

The Republican Party was one of the starting parties of the AmericanGovSim. It began representing the real life US Republican Party, but evolved into a broader centre right party as the simulation went on.


== History ==


User Elevic began as party chairman, with users Kovr and _hedgehog_1 as Vice Chairman. User System then joined the party, and gained the third position of Vice Chairman.


'''Monarchist Negotiations'''

System entered negotiations with the Monarchists, at the time led by user Colourful_Future, to merge the Republicans and Monarchists. A group chat on Discord was formed, and swiftly turned into a heated negotiation. The Monarchists proposed that the Republicans join their server, and in exchange will be given some leaedership positions, while Colourful_Future retained his power as King. Screenshots from an insider in the Monarchist Party revealed that Colourful_Future's objective was to integrate the Republicans into the Monarchists, where they would be controlled. Colourful_Future assured fellow Monarchist Party members that the incoming Republican Party would have no effective control.

Due to this, _hedgehog_1 called a VONC against System. After a short discussion, and posting of the screenshots, the vote has held and System lost the vote 3-1(System was the only vote against). He subsequently left the party, and the merge did not occur.


'''Internal Upheavals'''

A user known as Rebel(though he changed his username multiple times throughout the simulation, including, infamously, Himmler) then got into contact with the Republicans. He filled the vacant position left by System's departure.

Elevic, as Chairman, faced a Vote of No Confidence(VONC) called by _hedgehog_1, and subsequently lost the vote 3-1 (Elevic was the only vote against). Kovr then became Chairman of the Republican Party. Elevic then joined the Monarchist Party.

An ally of Rebel's, NapoloenBorn2Party, then filled the vacant position left by Elevic. The next day, another VONC was called against the Chairman, Kovr, on the grounds of inactivity in the party and sim. Kovr lost the vote 3-1(Kovr was the only vote against), and then _hedgehog_1 became Chairman of the Republican Party, with Rebel and NapoleonBorn2Party as Vice Chairman.


'''Rebranding'''

After the internal situation had stabilised, _hedgehog_1 and the Vice Chairman took the decision to re-brand the party. The Republican Party became the United Right, with a new logo and manifesto: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hAEmwsaud0_MtsQb2DbQoiMHP9mt3LwwhIO9jSBMuH4/edit

Due to these events happening at the very beginning of AGS, there remains little record of these events due to the old Republican server being lost, group chats being closed, and the Monarchist server being lost.
