The Red Bloq is a left wing and social democratic political organisation in East Alaxia that primarily runs multiple political parties in the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. The People's Socialist Party of Empherias, which was founded in the late 2300s following the 2395 revolution, grew significantly in the first few decades of the 2400s in Empherias. It ran the country for a 20 year period from 2415–2435 and high profile figures such as Elizabeth Rose aided its growth. With mounting pan-Kloresanism and Alaxianism across east Alaxian nations, the PSP began to run in several democratic parties in states like Ahitereira and Koresa under the name Red Bloq or variations of such. Following the creation of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia, these parties would run in coalition with Kiavalari socialist independent parties to run federally as the Crimson Coalition. The sister organisation the People's Socialist Party of Grensalbourg was founded in 2448 to run in the upcoming new democratic elections in Grensalbourg, which it became the largest party of during the first few elections.

To make the management of this many organisations more viable and consolidate funding and leadership structures, a parent organisation was created known as the Red Bloq, headquartered in Rosetta, Empherias. All existing political parties and organisations would be ran like company subsidiaries in a way that was led by party members and democratic elections. The local parties, such as the PSP, would remain very autonomous. It runs federally as one party in the presidential elections of the HKA, while it usually runs under local party afiliations in the House of Representatives.

The PSP in Empherias and the PS in Grensalbourg both declined in the early 2500s, with the respective Labour Party of Empherias and Democratic Labour Party of Grensalbourg (and later Labour Party, and Labour–Liberal Party) overtaking them in terms of votes and seat counts. However, while the branding has taken a large personal decline, with these parties using purple instead of red as their official colours, they are both under the Red Bloq organisation and the Labour party in Empherias still contribute to Red Bloq votes federally in the HKA.

The party has small but strong support outside of the High Kingdoms, primarily in Karkuss, some states of the Hveden Federation, and as an outlawed protest group in Palakkinen.
