Seward is America's northern most territory, having been split off from the more populated south in order to ward off any socialist control of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields. However, even despite the territories distance from Anchorage socialism still holds a large amount of sway due to the radicalized Inuit constituency.
For decades the Inuit people of Seward had long been ignored and forgotten by the rest of America, who saw no qualms displacing them from their land in order to build new pipelines. This oppression created large scale resentment, leading to massive Inuit strike of 1973, which was not only in solidarity with the other general strikes that rocked the nation following the Conservative Revolution but also demanded government protections of native lands which were continuing to be ruined by oil companies. Stretched far too thinly by strikes rocking the nation Nixon decided against sending the army all the way up to Seward and instead offered the Inuit people a 5% cut out of all oil revenue generated from Seward. And the same time, however, to ensure that the Inuits could never halt oil production again Nixon also ordered all Inuit oil workers to be fired and replaced instead with workers from others states such as Alaska, which would be more likely to be loyal to the federal government.
The large number of out of state workers which began to spend most of their time in Seward lead to demands of representation in the Seward government. The workers also demanded an equal footing with the native Inuits and would not stand for simply being given a few representatives in the council. Thus, Seward territorial government took the unprecedented step of dissolving their own House, leaving only the Council as the sole legislative body in Alaska. As a compromise to the native residents of Seward the migrant workers were only given a representative for every 1000 workers while the people of Seward were given a representative for every 500 citizens.
While Seward's population is today more than 70% Native American the National Union remains the largest party by winning over those natives who still demand heavily on the oil industry for their jobs, performing various logistical and supportive tasks. The majority of natives, however, still vote with for their ethnic representatives, be they Inuit or Athabaskan. In this year's election with global oil prices on the downturn and more nonessential jobs being cut Inuit Ataqatigiit saw a sizable upsurge in their voteshare, knocking the NU down to 41 seats. But with the "Non-partisan" member of the council always voting in the interests of the National Union party their majority continued to rock solid, as it has been for the entire history of the territory.
Government:
National Union - The party of big government, big military, and American imperialism they have held control of Seward's legislature ever since the territory was granted autonomy in 1963. Viewing the Prudhoe Bay oil fields as an issue of national security they are extremely protective of the oil reserves and make sure that its production is always subsidized by as much federal money as possible. The majority of its voter base is also non-white, with natives, then whites, then asians making up the big three ethnic groups upon which it depends. And it also has a majority among the out of state workers, due to many of those positions being given to friends of the US military who are already naturally inclined to be favorable to the NU's policies.
Opposition:
Inuit Ataqatigiit - The Inuit party of Seward, they hold a democratic socialist position while also advocating for greater autonomy in the territory. In particular they want to make Seward a monolingual territory where all government documents would have to be made in Inuit. This move has still been heavy resisted by the National Union party which still favors Seward's bilingual status and does not want to get rid of English, despite the fact that a majority of the territory already speaks Inuit as their first language. Nevertheless, the party also benefits greater from the oil industry, with the 5% of oil revenue going towards fully funding the lifestyles of many natives, allowing them to live in comparable luxury and dedicate their time to creating artwork and writing books in the Inuit language.
Denaakke Ggenaa - With their party name literally translating into "Friends of the People with a Common Language", the party's main goal politically is to establish Athabascan as a third official language in the territory of Seward. Unfortunately, due the group's small population size their pleas are often ignored and even the Inuits remain hostile to the idea of adding another official language when they want to simply remove one. The party also holds deep social conservative values, reflective of the Athabascan's devotion to the Orthodox Church, and continue to campaign against the right of gays to get civil unions as well as the right of women to get an abortion.
United Left - America's catch all party for the far left, their voter base in the territory of Seward consists solely of migrant workers who hold socialist and communist viewpoints. With a majority of migrant workers being sourced from the closest state, Alaska, a large number of those Alaskan workers hold socialist values which remain dominant in that state. As such, they often side with the IA on most issues, except for the language issue wherein they often side with the DG in favor of expanding inclusivity, not restricting it.
