Sons of the Sultan

The Sons of the Sultan is an alliance of political parties and trade unions organized into a popular front led by Sultan Reza Hydar. It is made up of 9 parties: League of Hydari Islamic Scholars, The Students, The Communist Party of Hydar State, Hydar Workers and Peasants Association, Revolutionary Rsanist League, Party of Hydari Democracy, the Society of Doctors and Engineers, Society of Teachers and Scholars, and the Yi Self-Interest Association. The trade unions that make it up include the All-Hydar Federation of Trade Unions and the Hydar Artisanal Society. The 9 parties do not compete for political power, instead the front acts as a forum for the exchange debate and deliberation of ideas and national mobilization led by the Sultan. While all the parties are thought to be equal, the Communist Party of Hydar State, The Students, and Society of Doctors and Engineers are thought to be the most influential. The front has taken on an increasing role enforcing "political discipline" and rooting out corrupt officials or clans, as well as Reza Hydar's various projects to bring running water and schooling to the rural areas of Hydar.
