National Prosperity Party (Tseng Republic)

The National Prosperity Party (NPP; Chinese: 國民繁榮黨; pinyin: Guómín Fánróng Dǎng) is one of two major political parties in the Tseng Republic. The other is their main rival the People's Democratic Party (PDP). It is a conservative party.

The NPP is the largest and most dominant party in Tsengian politics, it won every election and ruled the country from 1980 until 2016.

The NPP currently holds 62 seats in the National State Assembly, Tseng's legislature, and is the head of the Opposition of Tseng, which, including the NPP's seats, hold 69 seats. The NPP's current leader is Joshua Tiao.

Its Chinese name is often abbreviated to 國榮黨 (Guorongdang).

Early years (1932-1946)
The NPP's predecessor, the National Party (French: Parti national), was founded on October 21, 1932 in Bonaparte-Meriot, French Talasides, by an pro-Tseng independence student called Daniel Lévard, and it quickly gained popularity. The sole policy of the Parti National was Tsengian independence.

Pierre Huang-li era (1946-1954)
On July 15, 1946, two days before the independence of Tseng, the Parti National and several other small organizations (including the Tridem Society), merged to create the National Prosperity Party. Pierre Huang-li won the nomination for president in the first election.

Under Huang-li, Tseng's economy quickly grew and people were made equal under the Equality Act of 1948.

In 1954, Huang-li was assassinated. Vice-President Yong Ming-chun became the next president, but was unpopular and was eventually beaten by Jack Lin of the PDP in the 1958 election.

1954-1970
In the 1960s, the NPP won the sole democratic presidential election, in 1965, but the candidate, Paul Zhang, was disposed and executed by the military in a coup in 1968. After the dictatorship president Stephen Yang made Tseng into a developed country. It was because of Yang that the NPP became a powerful party, and from 1968 onwards until the Reforms of 90, almost all of the population was conservative (even Guo Ming-wang (PDP; president from 1976 to 1980), considered to be one of the most conservative PDP politicians).

Post-1970
From 1980 until 2016 the NPP was the ruling party, however, it was hindered by factionalism. The two main factions were the centrist faction and the Huang-li faction. During the 1990s, a new faction, named the NPP Left led by Julius Han made Tseng into a centre-right country. Today, despite the loss of seats in the National State Assembly, they are still the largest party by membership in Tseng.

Policies
The NPP is described as centre-right socially but centre economically. It favors a market-oriented mixed economy and is quite anti-communist, which has come under fire since the 1990s, with many NPP politicians having been accused of Sinophobia.
