The party was founded in 2357 by John Rudd, a small time political activist. Rudd was worried at the time that the Imperial Power Party was gaining to much legislative power, and he was unhappy with the responses by the other major parties. At first, the party only took part in local elections, gaining support in several cities in Narikaton and Kozaria. Rudd then moved the party onto the national scene, and took part in the 2359 elections.
