Hizbusoufi (Toroshi: حزبأسفي Ḥizb-us-Soufi), literally "Party of the Soufi") is a nationalist, secessionist and conservative political and religious movement within the Mercantile Realm of Souf, the Southernmost State of Gran Verionia. The party was formed in 1675 in opposition to the cooperation of the merchants of Souf with the Verionist government.
The movement is currently the largest party in the Majlis an-Nuwwab, the parliament of Souf. However, the relative influence of the parliament is limited, and the High Merchant of Souf, Godolphin Viqh, is a member of the opposition Association of Merchants. The difference in representation and actual power leads to rising conflict within the Soufi realm.
Although the official ideology of Hizbusoufi is hard secessionism and opposition to the existence of the Gran Verionian confederation, it often presents itself as a pragmatic party. In the Grand Council of Verionian States, the party works together with loyalist groups such as Al-Wafd and the Partido Conservador in order to advance conservative and traditionalist principles.
