Form of Government: Constitutional, federal, representative, semi-presidential classical republic
National Leader(s): Harold F Faire (Chancellor), Victor C. Levenworth, William V. Decker, Frederick B. Delanore, Heidi J. Newton, Irving C. Benare, Elizabeth G. Londre (Councilors)
Political Orientation: Traditional liberalism (see: Criticalism)
Economic Orientation: Laissez-faireism in a market economic system

Politics and Governance:
What are is your nation's predominant view on the following; be as detailed as you please but a simple agree/disagree is adequate. (If you would, please answer directly after or below the bold brackets in normal font)

Section 1. Political Philosophy:

Democracy: Aurensia views democracy as a tyrannous undertaking by any state; although generally begun as morally proper, the ultimate end of the democratic political theory leads to decimation, tyranny, and a manifestation of evil. Democracy is irrational as it is not inherently based upon the moral precepts of liberty and law.

Representative Democracy:

Direct Democracy:

Monarchy: Monarchism is iniquity incarnate. To allow one man moral authority over authors, bound not by law, but by the undertakings of some misconceived justification with no moral backing is inherently evil, and to cede the rights of state to the one ought not be done. A state operating under monarchist pretexts has no right to exist.

Absolute:

Constitutional:

Oligarchy: Groups may not infringe upon the rights of the people, and the oligarchic systems allows for infringing upon the rights of man, and the law does not inherently transcend the group; oligarchies are evil.
Republicanism: Law, civic virtue, and liberty are the most crucial precepts to any rational and moral state, and thus republicanism is the inherently good government, and the good governments recognize such. Republicanism must be maintained as the rights of man demand such.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: All forms of dictatorship and states operating under totalitarian contexts must be destroyed. These states are inherently evil. They have no moral authority to exist.
Fascism: Fascism is evil and has no moral authority to be implemented. Its inherent irrationality plague the already nefarious system.
Anarchism: Anarchism is irrational and ought not be permitted to exist in the world. The rights of the people must be protected by objective law, not dilapidated by the nonexistence of any law.

Anarcho-Capitalism:

Anarcho-Mutualism:

Anarcho-Communism:

Socialist Vanguard State: Inherently immoral and irrational, the state has no right to infringe upon the noble and free individual.
Theocracy: God has no foundation proving its existence, thus it is irrational to base a state upon such, and morality transcends the wish of a plausibly nonexistent deity, thus theocracies are immoral.
Secularism: States must not infringe upon the expression and opinions of the people, and this includes religion. This position must be maintained.
Authoritarianism: Forced submission to unnatural and unjust authority is inherent evil and the people ought not be subject to it on any scale, societal or individual, and all ideologies therewith the authoritarian variety are either irrational or immoral to date.
Libertarianism: Libertarianism is respectable in almost all contexts, excluding some specific brands which views the state as inherently bad which is inherently irrational, as the state is an object that can be good or evil depending upon its use, form, and actions.
Conservatism: Conservatism is generally irrational and its bromide often harms the people, and creates irrational tendencies in a state and society in its best form, and is nothing less than tyranny in its worst form.
Progressivism: Progressivism often harms the people and is irrational in most of its respects.
Militarism: The state has no moral authority to have bellicose behavior except in, and only in, the defense of the free individual, and societal or economic tendencies of militarism ought not exist as an inherent rationality exists therewith.
Pacifism: To commit absolutely to not committing harm even when threatened is inherently irrational, but to wish permanent establishment of peace is morally proper.
Nationalism: Love for a nation is irrational, but love for the freedom inherent thereto is morally sound and proper.
Internationalism: Internationalism is opposed to national self-interest, which should be the guiding force of any proper state, and is thus irrational.
Individualism The free individual must be permitted to act in accordance with his rights and abilities, and ought not be infringed upon. Man is symbolic of what is good, and must be permitted to do the good intrinsic to him.
Collectivism: No man ought to live for another. Man is of greater value than men, and a collective is inherently inferior to the individual.

Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: Capitalism in the broadest sense cannot be quantified, the term is dead. In the narrowest sense to what is moral, is the greatest light of man.
Communism: Communism is tyranny incarnate and has no moral authority backing its establishment. It is by all rational accounts one of the greatest manifestation of darkness that could ever wrap its tentacles around the earth.
Socialism: All socialism is evil, and has no authority backing its establishment.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Laissez-fareism must be established for the people to act in accordance with freedom.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: One cannot have "some" liberty, one must have all, or he, in reality, has none.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: The state ought not infringe upon the rights of an individual to act in accordance with their natural property and human rights.
Gift Economics: No man has any responsibility to look after another, it is just "nice" and it is not rational, nor is it irrational.
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Irrational and ought not to be implemented.
Agrarianism: It is irrational to base entire systems off of the precepts of agrarianism.
Corporatism: Irrational and immoral in all contexts as objective law must be retained.
Welfarism: To thieve from one to give to another is evil and the state musn't allow this to exist, or its transgression shall be inherent.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Neutral. Assembly of persons is a right, as is it a right to ignore such assembly.
Globalization: Economic freedom encourages globalism, and individual and world shall benefit.
Free Trade: Free trade with all is the motto of a truly free market, and thus, a free state.
Fair Trade: Neutral with little option.
Protectionism: Protectionism is not protection, it is a method of regulating the free individual, and is immoral.
Feudalism: Outdated, irrational, and immoral. Feudalism is little better than modified slavery, and is a dangerous perversion.
Environmentalism: It is irrational to destroy the environment and it will be protected by the inherently rational man.
Consumerism: Forced consumption is a dangerous undertaking, but the people's trade is in-line with the Universal Trade Theorem and is good.
Racism: Determinism in all forms is irrational.
Multiculturalism: A global society is a knowledgeable society, however forced love of other cultures is inherently immoral.

Chivalry: All people ought to be treated with some level of dignity so long as they warrant it.
Social Darwinism: People must rise and fall on their own merits, and this is the only proper way of a rational society.
Religion: Apathetic. Most of the Aurensian population is agnostic and/or atheistic.
Spirituality: Apathetic.
Altruism: Altruism is the most disgusting breach of human rights existing in man. To live for another is not only founded against the proper confines of morality, but to degrade the ego to the point of allowing unjust sacrifice and refusal of the rights of the self is reprehensible. Altruism musn't exist in a moral society, it simply dilapidates the proper moral and and philosophical foundations of justice and man.
Selfishness: Rational selfishness is to be exalted, to live for oneself and one's own interests is the greatest moral guidepost known to man, and this must be known.
Friendship: Two men of equal value and of interest in each other are friends; friendship is an inherent quality and aspect of being human, it is to be loved and cherished in a rational society.
Magic: There is no corroboration as to the existence of magic. It is irrational to devote oneself to something that probably does not exist.
