Kryfona, Now! (Kryfona: Kryfona, naj!; For. Kryf. /ˈkrɪˌf.nɑ næ/; KN) is a non-federal political party in the Kryfona Kingdom which primarily contests elections in the Southwest Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom. Standing for capitalism, conservative values, and free expression and speech, the party is generally considered to be either right-leaning or right-wing by political pundits. The current leader of the party is Eite Kyszx, who was elected to the party leadership in 2008.

The Kryfona, Now! organization was founded on 1 July, 1967 by the Breakaway Conservatives, a political organization who had previously broken away from the Kryfona Conservative Party in 1966 over concerns that the party was not addressing properly the ‘legitimate issues’ of the time—these being the protection of capitalism, the enshrinement of conservative values in the Kingdom, and the protection of expression and speech among others. Although it had a political base to start with, having taken with it a fair number of Conservative members, the party was at first small and unsuccessful, failing to win any seats in its first two electoral series (1969 and 1972).

The first successes of Kryfona, Now! came in 1975, when it won its first seats in the Iyarzalhne House. Although the province was generally liberal in its political bent, there were a significant number of unrepresented conservatives who gladly and quickly jumped ship to the party from others. In similar circumstances, the party won a single seat in the Lawvsgara House, and six in the Lawvsgara Senate. Since 1975 it has retained at least one seat in the congresses of both provinces, with a 1996 high water mark of 4 seats in Iyarzalhne and 3 in the Lawvsgara House with an additional 13 in the Senate. Since 1996, the party has been in electoral decline, but has generally increased in membership. Despite electoral disappointments, a 1999 membership of 22,000 has grown to a 2016 membership of just over 45,000.

Kryfona, Now! is one of the fairly unremarkable non-federal parties, having suffered only a few scandals in its history. The most famous of these scandals came in 1984, when party leader Avarze Kaczsje was arrested and charged with multiple assaults, and had to be ousted by the party as a consequence. The incident was damaging, but not devastating to the party, and despite losing a significant amount of approval with voters, the party still managed to retain its seats that year.

The current party leader of Kryfona, Now! is Eite Kyszx, who has led the party uneventfully since 2008. Kyszx is mostly known for being related to the famous Kryfona Civil War general Danaan Kyszx, who fought for the Royalists.
