The Unity and Progress Party (UPP) was the ruling party of the Martian Republic and later the Union of Vangelia. It was abolished in 6,000 CE at the establishment of the Federation of Vangelia.

The UPP emerged in 2,294 CE from Helian Commonwealth legislators who held similar political goals. It rose to popularity by appealing to progressives and Martian separatists, a group of its members declaring the independence of the Martian Republic in 2,416 CE. The UPP adopted numerous policies to stay in power, like the creation of the Directorate of State Security (DSS), militarization of the Republic, continuation of democratic elections, and utilization of liberal rhetoric in public affairs. Coordinating the four allowed the party to maintain a populist façade while brutally suppressing any attempts at challenging its power, most infamously during the Martian genocide of the 26th and 27th centuries CE. They were also vital to the Republican conquest of the Helios System.

The UPP followed progressive nationalism, according to which nation-states are only possible if their central species strives towards a common societal good. Such an ideology would theoretically promote egalitarianism, but the party outlawed any opposition to it, framing dissenters with a variety of pejoratives linked to regressivism.

-The UPP emerged in 2,294 CE from legislators aiming to turn their government at the time, the Helian Commonwealth, into a nationalist state. It rose to popularity by appealing disingenuously to progressives and Martian separatists, a group of its members declaring the independence of the Martian Republic in 2,416 CE. The UPP adopted numerous policies to stay in power, like the creation of the Directorate of State Security (DSS), militarization of the Republic, continuation of democratic elections, and utilization of liberal rhetoric in public affairs. Coordinating the four allowed the party to maintain a populist façade while brutally suppressing any attempts at challenging its power, most infamously during the Martian genocide of the 26th and 27th centuries CE. They were also vital to the Martian Republic's transformation into an astropolitical superpower and eventually its conquest of the entire Helios System.

 ==Beliefs==
-The UPP followed the ideology of progressive nationalism, according to which a human nation-state is only possible if its central species strives towards sociotechnological progress. At the same time, the party stood vehemently against opposition, so much so that, in practice, it was of totalitarian nature. Under the UPP, civilians were entitled to numerous liberties, but if found dissenting, they were likely to be stripped of all those. In such cases, they could not apply for a court hearing.
