I. Law and Legislation

a. The goal of this party shall be the maintenance and preservation of the Eye of Abydos as originally framed and ratified.
b. In accordance with the Thirteenth Axiom, this party believes the purpose of the Conclave is to legislate only in the interests of clarifying the meaning of the Eye of Abydos, or to further the execution of law therein written. Legislative action should not be an end unto itself.
c. This party shall resist any amendments to the Eye of Abydos unless deemed necessary to the clarification of or further execution of law therein written.

II. Culture

a. This party shall defend and affirm the meritocratic culture in Abydos; namely that merit--work, qualifies a citizen to a position of status politically and professionally. Those who aspire to a higher position must begin at a lower position.
b. People of certain personality types do better in some areas and some in others. This party recommends that future new arrivals be given the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) when applying for citizenship that will further assist them in finding useful, purposeful, and active participation in Abydos that is best suited to their specific personality type.
c. It shall be the mission of this party to further a culture of unity, stability, and social cohesion while embracing change.
d. This party shall promote the culture mentioned above through a cultivation of education via the guild system and the propagation and desemination of information conducive to the unity, stability, and social cohesion of Abydos.

III. Government

a. This party shall strive to maintain the highly evolved, hybridized and layered government encompassing five forms of government which operate as a harmonious whole.
Grand Luxarch- Constitutional Monarchy
High Priest & Elected Scribes- Republic
Appointed and Selected Scribes- Oligarchy
Oracles- Technocracy
Coup System- Timocracy

IV. Foreign Policy

a. This party shall not seek to create embassies as an end unto itself, particulary where such diplomatic relations are effectively non-existent.
b. Any candidate associated with this party for the office of High Priest if elected shall work with the Grand Luxarch; and any holder of the office of Grand Luxarch associated with this party shall work with the High Priest to create a foreign policy for Abydos that seeks meaningful, active, and purposeful diplomatic relations with the outside world, particularly a foreign policy that is ORB-centered; this party sees value in providing a common defense to founderless regions against raiders.
c. The members of this party are realists in foreign policy and are doubly aware of the reality that Abydos nor ORB can defend against all raiders, nor defend every and all places around the world, but that in an international order virtually devoid of any significant organization committed to region defense. ORB is the only organization capable of doing so, and therefore, the burden falls upon Abydos and ORB.

V. Ideology

a. The Order of The Sacred Eye is neither left nor right in ideology. Its aims, goals, and ideals place it outside the typical left-right political spectrum. It is thought that in such a crucial time as the present with Abydos, the Eye, and the government in their infancy, this party can ill afford to become ensnared in what is viewed from this party's perspective as an ideological trap that would at best distract its members from, and at worst, impair the party's mission to protect, preserve, and defend Abydos, the Eye, the Axioms, and Abydos culture.
b. Additionally, for this reason, while differences in party and ideology do and will exist, and while by law citizens cannot hold membership with more than one party simultaneously, The Order of The Sacred Eye nonetheless welcomes members of other parties to caucus with its members, insofar as it is the duty of all citizens regardless of political party or none at all to uphold the Axioms and the Eye of Abydos. On this basis, there can be cooperation despite slight and/or perceived differences in ideology, and it is thought that such a policy will be most conducive to regional unity.

VI. Membership

a. Approved and continuous membership is contingent upon registered citizenship and honorable standing within society according to the Axioms, The Eye of Abydos, traditions, customs, and cultural norms of Abydos, as well as the ideological and ethical standards of this party.

VII. Role of the Judiciary

It shall be the position of this party that the role of the Oracles is the interpretation of the Eye of Abydos, the Axioms, and subsequent law through the lens of the former two listed, when a case of law is brought before them to interpret. We shall not support a judiciary that is activist in nature, or whose members see themselves as an enforcer of law in the manner of an executive agency.
