Sroyos (Sroyosian Hemeshi: , IPA: //, Norjihani: Skojos /ʃo:.jos/), officially the Tanhunði Republic of Sroyos, is a country located in Hemesh. It borders Saovia to the north, Orzun to the west and Goluta to the south. The government is based in the city of Tafsaj, shared with Orzun, although there have been calls to move it to Some coastal city somewhere. The country is the only majority Gennist country outside of South Baredina (non-Baredan or otherwise) due to its history and links to Norjihan and Istan.

Political Parties

The KNC (Kuulist National Congress), GUS (Gennist Union of Sroyos) and Liberal Democrats were until recently considered the three main parties in Sroyosi politics, collectively called the "Old Guard". However, recently several new parties have emerged such as Sroyos Unchained and the SPP-UBP coalition (comprised of the Sroyosian People's Party and the Union of Balkist Parties).

The KNC are currently the largest party in government, having 27 of the 51 district seats despite only commanding 33% of the vote (although they are still the largest party by percentage). They are also the largest party by membership, with some 100,000 estimated members. The KNC has commanded a majority in the Senate since the beginning of democratic politics in Sroyos in (insert year here), but its support over time has been decreasing, eapecially in more rural areas where they have been challenged by both the GUS and the SPP-UBP coalition. The party lost full control of Tafsaj for the first time in elections held in 2017. The party was traditionally Kuulist with the caveat of its support for the Tanhungara, but nowadays is considered to be "Democratic Kuulist" under the influence of the KFN (Kuulist Front of Norjihan); despite this it maintains good relations with more hardlien groups such as Liberty (an Istani Kuulist pressure group) and the Syorankan Kuulist Party.

The GUS is a sister party of the Norjihani Gennist Union and is officially linked to the Sroyosi Tanhungara. As such, even without parliamentary control (they currently have 11 seats), the GUS has been able to have major control via Tanhungara representation. They are considered socially conservative, although many Gennist ideals would be considered liberal in other countries. Despite having many extreme proposals, including banning non-Gennists from public office (as Norjihan does), the party has gained support amongst more affluent voters in recent years. They are economically centrist.

Percentage of Vote (2015)

  KNC (33%)
  GUS (24%)
  Sroyos Unchained (19%)
  SPP-UBP (11%)
  Liberal Democrats (7%)
  Others (6%)

The Liberal Democrats were formerly the third largest party in Sroyos and remain the third largest by seats with 6, but in recent years their support has declined massively, partly due to their links with the Norjihani Liberal party and partly due to a number of domestic scandals including allegations of vote rigging, bribery and 'indecenet or perverse acts' committed by the senior leadership. The party is economically the most right wing in Sroyos, calling for a Cermani style 'liberalisation' of Sroyos. They also oppose the religious restrictions that exist, and refuse to acknowledge the title of the Tanhungði Republic; they have instead called for a complete secularisation of government.

Sroyos Unchained is one of the newer parties, founded by a group of academics and former Liberal Democrats in 2011. It has only contested one election (the 2015 election) in which it became the third largest party by percentage of votes but was only the fourth largest by parliamentary seats with 5. The party has called for a liberalisation of the economy but in far less extreme terms than the Liberal Democrats, as detailed in their book "How To Break Our Chains", the text on whih the party's ideology is based. It also promotes a somewhat more forward foreign policy, especislly in regard to Hemeshi affairs.

The SPP-UBP coalition is a group of left-wing groups, mostly Balkists and Kuulists unaffiliated with the KNC, who campaign and stand under a joint ticket. The coalition currently has 2 seats, thus forming the smallest parliamentary group, despite being the fourth largest by votes with 11%
