Monarchy Party
The Monarchy Party was a student political party that formed independently on two campuses across the United States.
 The first group was formed around 1970 at the University of Maryland, College Park by Greg Canter (also known as Sir Barchan of Dinglebury).
 The second was formed, without knowledge of the first, on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida in 1989.
 The latter incarnation received media attention in "The Washington Post" and "The Times" of London, and was confronted by other student leaders who would later go on to conventional political careers, such as Trey Traviesa who represented District 56 in the Florida House of Representatives.
 At one point, Florida State University quarterback and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward ran successfully as their vice presidential candidate.
 There appears to have been a third student Monarchy Party formed in 1997 on the campus of San Francisco State University, but it is unclear how successful they were.
 The parties received a political endorsement by Mojo Nixon, and would later be mentioned in a song called the "Ballad of Marshall Ledbetter" by former Dead Kennedys singer, Jello Biafra.
