The new political reality of the Dino Republic

For centuries the Dinos were ruled by Emperors but at the start of this year Ronald abolished the Emperorship and introduced a republic headed by 2 elected Consuls and a senate. Very quickly different political factions have formed and are on the way to becoming proper political parties (one already is). Although there are several dozen different factions throughout the state only 3 have any real relevance :

Imperial Order
This is headed by Consul Ronald and can be considered the conservative faction. Imperial Order hold most of the power in the Republic including both current Consuls. Many of the main ministers are members of this party and Ronald as head of the Senate also gives it a wide influence.
Notable members : Ronald, G-B-H, El Diablo, Cruggson, Razorback, Smellyson
Ministries : Foreign Ministry, Finance Ministry, Trade & Industry Ministry, War Ministry

Veritas = Truth
Headed by Lakes (though it can be suspected M-B-H is the real leader) Veritas is the Dinos' oldest party and was instrumental in the change of the Dino state to a republic. Lakes' SS is the main asset of the party though M-B-H as Minister of Information has a useful role in the propaganda war.
Notable members : M-B-H, Lakes
Ministries : Homeland Security Department (SS), Ministry Of Information & Culture

Liberal
The Liberal Party was formed by Jimmy after a disagreement with Ronald. Jimmy says he created the party to form a viable alternative to Imperial Order. Its likely Jimmy will be the next elected Consul so the Liberal Party has growing influence.
Notable members : Jimmy, Spikeson, Z-B-H
Ministries : Interior Ministry, Health & Community Ministry

Other Senators and top Dinos are largely remaining neutral though there have been some pitches by the various parties to try and bring them into the fold.
