The Reformed National Party (Monsilvan: 改革國民黨, Pinyin: Gǎigé Guómíndǎng) or the Nationals, is one of the three main parties in the Monsilvan Republic, along with the FDP and the Liberal Party. It is the current governing party, having won the 2016 general election. The party has also became the leading party in government in the 2016 election, as they had been the largest opposition party since their loss in the 1996 general election. The party is on the centre-right of the political spectrum, and encompasses various ideological factions, the two largest being the "Soft Rights" and the "Hard Rights". The "Hard Rights" associate with more nationalistic ideas and would be considered a right-wing faction as opposed to the centre-right. The party currently has 127 Members of the Second Chamber, 30 Senators and 169 State Parliament Legislators. The RNP is also the leading party in 5 state governments: Leibo, Nanyan, Weishi, Xishanjia and Zaixian. Members of the Reformed National Party are often referred to as "Nationals" or "國民人".
The RNP was founded in August 1830 with the establishment of the Kingdom of Monsiva after the Monsilvan Civil War. It was originally known as the National Party, and was the third largest party in parliament until the 1908 general election, when it became the second largest. In the 1918 general election, the National Party, lead by Mao Yanlin, became the leading party in parliament, and therefore became the party in government with Mao Yanlin becoming the first National Party prime miniester. Under Mao, the National Party gathered lots of popularity amongst the people and assisted Monsilva in growing as an economy. When Mao Yanlin stepped down at the 1923 general election, Su Zian took over. Su Zian was not well liked amongst both Monsilvan people and the National Party's own members, and ended up being forced to resign at the 1933 general election. Su was replaced by Heng Lei, who lead the National Party through 4 elections, winning them all. Although the 1933 election left the National Party in a minority government, they managed to regain their popularity through further improvements to the healthcare and education systems. The 1943 Monsilvan general election saw the National Party win the largest majority any party has ever won in Monsilvan democratic history, with a 79% of seats.
The National Party faced a lot of political trouble after the death of the well-loved Qing Emperor in October 1943. The new Wang Emperor was popular for being extremely generous with his wealth, which lead to constant media trouble and government intervention. However, the Wang Emperor was strongly supported by the National Party's largest opposition, the Leaders of Parliament Party. Wang's political influence allowed him to slowly blackmail National Party members into resigning, which is commonly correlated to their loss in the 1953 general election. This lead to the reformation of the party in 1954, which was when the party was renamed the Reformed National Party.
After the 1978 Mass Protests, the Reformed National Party was the largest economic and political contributor to the Monsilvan Revolutionary Army, as the leader of the MRA, Xu Zhou-da was also the Leader of the RNP. When the Monsilvan Republic was established in December 1978, Xu Zhou-da became Monsilva's first president and the first prime minister of the republican government. He remained both president and prime minister until the 1980 general election, where he formally stepped down as prime minister and was succeeded by Hsu Xue-zhou who won the election.
The party has generally adopted liberal economic policies favouring free markets. The party has also taken a privately negative stance on communism with subtle exaggeration of communist regimes in Zloveshchiy and Ajakanistan, however Xu Yan, the current prime minister and leader of the RNP announced in 2019 that the party and the government "have no official stance on communism, as there are more pressing issues our country faces". The party has taken various approaches towards the Ostlandet Union (OU), with the majority of the party being pro-union, but the party contains union-sceptic factions within it. The party also has a strong policy on 'uniting' the Monsilvan people and encouraging the integration of foreign-born citizens into Monsilvan lifestyle and culture. This ideology is commonly referred to in Monsilva as 'Monsilvan nationalism', and has faced scrutiny for having references to fascist culture, which has been frequently denied by the party.
