Description
The modern national mysticist movement has its origins in Scandinavia and the Nordic Democrats in the late '40s. Opposed to the tensions between the maximalist populists in Sweden and Finland, the Nordic Democrats advocated for Pan-Nordic platform. Rather than lean on ethnic or linguistic ties, the Nordic Democrats were inspired by the rising school of Neo-Jungian memetics. By integrating ancient pagan archetypes into a nationalist mythos, it would be possible to craft a novel yet organic identity that could transcend traditional ethnic and linguistic ties. Such a nationalism could overcome both the degradation of liberalism and the violent pettiness of contemporary ethnic nationalism. While their ideology seemed extreme, their platform and rhetoric was moderate in comparison to the Sweden Democrats and the True Finns, and the Nordic Democrats became popular in the region.
National mysticism has since been spread throughout Europe, usually offering itself as a moderate national alternative to maximalist populism. The Gallic Democrats are one of the most successful national mysticist parties outside of Scandanavia. Mixing druidic paganism with republican romanticism and gallic catholicism, the Gallic Democrats have a unique vision for France. For them, the French nation and its mythic heroes are defined by resistance. The ancient Celts against Rome. Joan of Arc and Napoleon against Britain. De Gaulle against Germany. Le Pen against the European Union. To them, the French National spirit can only shine in conflict its great foes.
It was this vision that prompted Royden Morel to run against his fellow party member in the 2067 presidential elections. In addition to advocating for the nationalization of companies and resources across the country, the National Economic Platform also called to ramp up arms shipments to nationalist rebels across Europe. By empowering its proxies, France could force the continent into conflict and bloom. The French national spirit could be regenerated, and the country could resume its hegemony in Europe. However, Brie Truchon's decision to run on a revised version of the 2062 platform enraged the Gallic Democrats, who sought to counter this betrayal.
Like many national mysticist parties, the Gallic Democrats combine their cultural ideas with a neo-agrarian platform. Neo-agrarianism holds that automation has given the possibility to return to a rural lifestyle. Since the management of the food supply has been shifted to mega-plantations and vertical farms, it would be possible to encourage rural lifestyles without having to worry about agricultural efficiency. Rather, 3D-printing and information technology would allow the masses to return to the land and live bountiful lives in smaller, more manageable communities. Of course, there'd still be an underclass and a range of synthetic intelligences to manage, but the state could take care of that.

From the shining mega-cities of the African coast, to the flooded streets of Old Miami. From the packed arcologies of China, to the bleak burning fields of Venezuela. From the vigorous debate of commune meeting halls in Buenos Aires, to the hushed whispers of secret party meetings in Munich. From the singing in the historicist concert halls of Montreal, to the screams over the burning slums of Moscow. From crowds of protesters in London, New Delhi, and Oran, to lonely miners on the Moon. All of it lives, all of it breathes, and all of it will one day die. All under the same twinkling light of the stars.
