“The roots now established

 Were established by us

 We passed the watering pot to each other in trust 

To all who toiled and planted the seeds

 We now watch as they grow and breathe

 On a fateful day we watched the tree unfold 

The beautiful leaves with their blossoming folds 

The fruits that are now ripe for harvest 

Are picked and shared amongst the promised 

And so, we continue to tend to this grove

 For we hope that our descendants can share in its trove.”

Gaius var Ruthern, 73 B.A.

Tenets of the Party

 

It is the perspective of the Via Avanza Party that there is to be strength, prosperity, unity, efficiency, and faith that guides our decisions. The Citizen of Balian will only be granted such virtues and support from the entirety of the party and its members.

 

Strength of the Nation - We as a party hold the security of all citizens at the highest priority, as such, we hold the belief that a strong, efficient, and loyal military force capable of defending our borders, and citizens, is of paramount priority to the nation.

 

Prosperity for the Citizenry - All who may call themselves citizens of Balian are deserving of support from the state to ensure their prosperity. We hold this belief to place the needs of citizens as the first concern in our party. Every single citizen deserves the ability to live, to prosper, to find purpose, and to further themselves in the society of Balian.

 

A United Nation - Let there never be a day where the Balian Citizen is necessitated to risk their life against their own kin. For such a day to never come, we shall endlessly toil to maintain unity and integrity inside the Kingdom. We believe the multitude of cultures within Balian are a strength and not a blade of which will divide our purpose.

 

Efficiency - We hold the belief that a successful state is an efficient one, properly managed by those capable. Balian, as a nation, shall be one without wasted taxes, without incompetency, and one without meaningless labor. For the continued prosperity of the nation and its residents, we must embark on a journey to eradicate all that instills lethargy and slows further progress.

 

Canonist Values - Let us never neglect that we are the sons and daughters of Horen, and the followers of the four exalted. We must do all that we can to uphold the Canonist principles and values. Balian shall forever be known to be a devoted Canonist nation under the watchful gaze of the Almighty.
