Description[?]:
| OVERVIEW The Demokratische Zentrumspartei, or Democratic Centre Party, is a Hulstrian and Gao-Soton political party. While on social issues, it leans towards social liberalism, it supports centrism in the economic sphere. The DZP believes that a market economy can and must co-exist with a compassionate, humane society, and also believes in the fundamental worth of each and every individual. The DZP advocates practical solutions instead of adherence to either left-wing or right-wing ideologies, and is willing to compromise and co-operate with parties across the political spectrum if it is in the interests of the Hulstrian and Gao-Soton people.

Voting Record
This is the voting[?] record of the Demokratische Zentrumspartei.
| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
| Random quote: "We're the first society in history with the option of living in a world without poverty. The fact poverty still exist says more about our political leaders than I can." - Clint Borgen |
