The Democratic Socialist Party of Liberalia (DSPL) advocates socialism as a basis for the economy and democracy as a governing principle. We are the opposite of socialism that associates itself with authoritarian or totalitarian elements. We are people united in brotherhood and the common belief in democracy and the power to the workers and the common man.

Manifesto
Overall Principle
The Democratic Socialist Party's primary principle is that the people of Liberalia must work together as a collective body than a quagmire of squabbling people fighting for a limited or blinded focus. We believe that this can be achieved though collective governance through a straightford democratic process in all aspects and situtations. No matter the issue, power should be in the hands of the people and the workers of the region. The economic affairs and the means of production should be owned by the entire population as a cohesive and collective body and not a few privilaged individuals. The future of this region should be focus upon the new generation, they are our future.
Economy
The economy and means of production should be in the hands of ordinary working people, or in older terminology the "working class". Democratic socialism involves the entire population controlling the economy through some type of democratic system, whether through direct democracy or through representive unions or councils. Our position on markets should be a combination of regulation and openess. All tariffs should be voted upon depending on the industry in question.
Industry
Industry must be regulated to an extent by the state and by the people. The DSPL supports a minimum wage regionwide as all people should be treated fairly and all must be collectively paid based upon his profession or his merit and/or skill.
Labor Laws Supported
- Anti-Discriminatory Laws – Determination of employment on the basis of religion, creed, gender, orientation, race or skin color is unacceptable.
- Mandatory Notice – All full-time workers over the age of 18 must be given a minimum of a week notice prior to being laid-off. Likewise, workers are required to give their employer a minimum of a week's notice prior to ending their employment.
- Safety - All workers have the right to work in a safe workplace. The DSPL believes that it is the responsibility of individual member nations to inspect workplaces within their countries and to order any necessary repairs or closures. Should any safety check fail, the workers themselves have the power to make reform via direct democracy.
- Child Labor - A basic set of labor laws regulating the employment of minors should be put into practice, as schooling should be the primary focus of all Liberalian children. The Party does recognize that part-time employment plays an important role in the lives of many teenagers and as such, it should be permitted, with a few restrictions.
