The Landonist Labor Party of Superior was a far-left communist political party active in Superior between 1923 to 1938. A breakaway party from the original Communist Party of Superior, the Landonist Labor Party was the sole governing party of Superior between 1932 and 1938 as the governing authority of the Superian Continental Republic, a Continentalist puppet state established during the Great War by party members and other collaborationist Superians. The party was formed by veterans of Jani's rebellion with Jon Hansen being the party's most well known leader, leading the party as general secretary between 1926 until 1938 and as head of the collaborationist Superian Continental Republic during the Great War where he was placed in charge of the government by the United Commonwealth to aid in the occupation of the country. Following the end of the war, Hansen and other party leaders fled Superior and escaped into the neighboring United Commonwealth to avoid prosecution for their collaboration and the party was formally disbanded and outlawed in May 1938 following the war's end. Several party members would be charged in the post-war Saint Anthony trials while several others were hunted down and either arrested or assassinated in Operation Iscariot.
