The Ergatist Party of Fontasia, abbreviated to the EPF and occasionally referred to as the Fontasian Ergatist Party is a right-wing political party in the Kingdom of Fontasia, founded by Conor Newman and currently lead by Director Thomas Jacobs, who is being represented by Matthew Tonna as Director pro tempore.

The party was founded on 1 March 2022 as the first and originally the only Fontasian political party, by Conor Newman. The party is currently represented in the Far-Right Sector of the Supreme Directorate. It is the most prominent of the five Fontasian political parties, as it controlled the office of the Presidium for two consecutive Praetorial terms.

Since the dissolution of the Ergatist movement on 10 April 2023, the party has been de facto deemed as defunct, however the situation remains complicated as it still remains a prominent party in the Supreme Directorate.

Ideology

The Ergatist Party endorses the ideology of Ergatism, a former Fontasian ideology that was developed by Conor Newman and had grown in popularity among many other micronations. Historically the major lawmaking party of the Directorate, it has immense amounts of political power, and is a party in the Far-Right Directorate Sector.

History

The Ergatist Party of Fontasia was established on 1 March 2022, the same date the Kingdom of Fontasia formed. Up until 25 May 2022, the party was the only Fontasian political party, acting as a dictatorship. The Praetor, Joseph Montgomery was also Director of the EPF.

On 25 May 2022, new political parties formed, ending the de facto dictatorship. Despite this, the Ergatist Party won the 2022 Spring Praetorial Election, taking place on the same day. Dillon Fletcher became the second Fontasian Praetor, beginning his tumultuous incumbency poisoned with scandal and inactivity. In the 2022 Summer Directorial Election, Fletcher won unopposed. In early October 2022, the EPF became the center of scandal as Praetor Fletcher became intoxicated with alcohol, subsequently leading to his suspension for two weeks.

In the 2022 Fall Directorial Election, Fletcher did not run for re-election due to the damage the scandal had done to his political career. Thomas Jacobs became the third Director of the Ergatist Party of Fontasia, promising a new era of reconstruction for the party after the scandal. Thomas Jacobs, during the 2022 Fall Praetorial Election nearly granted the Ergatist Party a third consecutive Praetorial Election win, however he was beaten by Joseph Montgomery, now of the Free Fontasia Party in the run.

Jacobs would be re-elected as Director in the 2023 Winter Directorial Elections. A month later, on 4 March 2023, Jacobs would enter a temporary leave of absence for mental health reasons, with Matthew Tonna becoming acting Director pro tempore until Jacob's return or term end.
