6,000 CE
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.

Beliefs
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, often framing dissenters as conservatives. The accusations worked to conceal the UPP's hypocritically conservative nature, given how it attempted to preserve its control over human society for thousands of years.
