The Principles of Agonocracy

[Kravanica]

Nation Name (IC): Technate of Kravanica
Government Type: Constitutional technocratic unitary state
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: Considering that political parties of all kinds are outlawed in the Technate we doubt it. If there are any that exist then they are illegal and will be weeded out by our dedicated police force.
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): N/A
If so how popular are they?: see above
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: above
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: again, above
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: *sigh*
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: None whatsoever, as it is a fairly unknown belief within Kravanica. When one Kravanican was asked about agonocracy, they responded: "I don't know what it is, but it sounds like it hurts."
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: Most Kravanicans don't know what it is.
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: Most government officials don't even know what it is.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: Measures are taken against political parties of all forms.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?:

[Ashkera]

Nation Name (IC): The Community of Ashkera
Government Type: Technocratic Crypto-Oligarchy[1]
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: The Strife Nation (guerrilla organization up in the mountains)
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): 1992
If so how popular are they?: Currently estimated to have about 200-400 members in the mountains, and an additional few thousand supporters in the general population, though numbers could be a lot higher.
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: N/A
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: No.
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: This varies from time to time and is a source of internal friction within the group.
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: Agonocracy was considered and analyzed by the elite social/political/economic scientists of the regime (who specialize in designing systems of organization based on analysis of incentivizes, game theory, behavioral economics, etc) as a possible alternative to democracy. Ultimately it was rejected in favor of the current approach, and research into Agonocracy has ceased. (Research into "safer democracy"[2] continues.)
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: Agonocracy, like alternative voting schemes, is generally only known to students and professors of political science. Those students are split on whether it is redundant under the current regime (which already runs on rule by a technocratic elite that invests significantly in education), a terrible and elitist idea (typically the democrats), or a good idea (the smallest group). It has a small following among certain right-wing groups, replacing some fringe right-wing ideologies.
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: Agonocracy is currently considered an elevated-risk ideology, but is not banned. Where it overlaps with the current state's patterns, it is considered redundant. Where it differs from current state values (which differ significantly from those of many other governments), it is considered a poor choice of replacement. Ashkeran government internal ideology stresses the idea of "treatment of the nation as a whole organism". It's also a somewhat paranoid government, being the only one in the UFN that has taken definite measures to ensure humanity's survival in the event of a nuclear war.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: The government is deliberately using the Strife Nation as a containment mechanism for the more radical Agonocrat-sympathizers - just like it does with other ideologies, including Communism. As overall guerrilla activity has been low for the last couple decades, more direct actions have been rare. Potentially violent activists for Agonocracy, like those of all ideologies, are surveilled and potentially captured.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: Only minor incidents have taken place so far.
If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country: Some interest first began in the late 1980's, well into the current Council Period, after a traveler brought back books on the subject and shared them with some university students. Their petition to the government to adopt it was, as is typical, rejected. The Strife Nation was formed in 1992 with the intent of waiting and preparing to gain power should the main government fall (also to prevent the other mountain guerrillas of competing ideologies from doing the same). Infiltration of the government is generally considered unfeasible (and also risky, as it's likely to bring down the hammer properly by getting perceived as an actual threat). Membership levels are maintained by reaching out to select individuals, mostly students.

[1] The government is ruled by a secret council of twelve rulers, with one chairman that has some extra power. Even these members do not know each others' identity, and their identities are a highly-classified state secret. This practice, originally begun to prevent reprisals between ethnic groups, was found to be useful and continued. The method of selecting each office varies (all the better for secrecy), although there is a specific balance of personalities and skills deemed important. Certain peculiar aspects are drawn from unique Ashkeran customs, and it is unclear if this setup would work in foreign countries - in fact, the government makes no attempt to promote Technocratic Crypto-Oligarchy abroad. Despite this, the Oversight Council amount to a literal international conspiracy.

[2] The previous democratic period ended when a tidal wave struck the mainland around the same time as embezzlement was found to have undermined the safety of a nuclear plant which nearly had a containment failure, and nuclear materials had gone missing. The military staged a coup and reinstalled the oligarchs. The oligarchs consider the nuclear materials missing the most concerning of those three issues.

[Singaporean Transhumans]

Nation Name (IC): People's Technocratic Federation of Singapore
Government Type: Totalitarian mechanocracy
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: Agonocracy is being experimented in some autonomous zones, but other than that it hasn't got far in the form of organizations. The Commission for Study and Evaluation of Agonocracy however can be considered as one.
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): The CSEA was formed in 2088, homeworld calendar.
If so how popular are they?: Being a state commission, they aren't even heard of.
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: N/A
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: N/A
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: The CSEA studies the implementation of orthodox agonocracy at the moment.
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: The people bored enough to become the 'elite' take a lot of interest in agonocracy, and it has gained decent influence among them.
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: Mixed, some view 'orthodox' meritocracy/technocracy as better and some appreciate it.
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: Used whenever it fits the PTFS's needs. The government itself doesn't really have a particular opinion, just like how you don't compare hammers to sickles.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: No.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: No.
If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country: Interest begin despite obvious negative comings with Mackonia due to the 'machines matter'; CSEA was founded for research immediately after an evaluation of the ideology by the leadership. Since then, it has been experimented on a total of 5 self-governing internal polities, all of them planetwide ones. The PTFS still requires time to evaluate on whether to adopt agonocracy at a much greater level.

[Greater Mackonia]

Updated.

Agonocracy itself is not necessarily opposed to Transhumanism, that's more Mackonian cultural norms than anything, the International branch of The Movement would probably hold such prejudices as far as Mackonian funding allows them to.

[Ashkera]

I'll note that as per PMT factbook, Ashkera does undergo another democratic period, with a constitution and agencies very carefully designed by the current government.

It actually goes pretty well - unlike most constitutions it's explicitly designed scientifically to avoid things like regulatory capture, for instance - until an AI goes rogue and plunges the country into civil war. The Oversight Council is then restored as, as far as analysts can tell, a mechanocracy.

[The United Colonies of Earth]

Nation Name (IC): The United Colonies of Earth
Government Type: Federal semi-parliamentary semi-presidential republic
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: The Merit Club supports implementing a meritocratic system, to lessen the amount of interstellar colonial disorders we experience.
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): 2064.
If so how popular are they?: The Club has been polled as being perceived positively by 24-54% of the population since 2182. Presently their standing is 42% positive.
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: They received 21% of the vote.
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: In the 2551 election they got 485 seats.
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: It differs in...several forms. For starters, they don't concern themselves much with a struggle amongst the elite for power and do believe rules are useful. They can be bent at times, though.
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: Since the days of Edward Nordstrom and Julian Agricola, the UCE and its' predecessor the United Nations have always had a little bit of influence from things that resemble or outright name themselves agonocracy. It was first mentioned on the website Nationstates.net seventy years before the UCE was founded, became obscure in the chaos of World War III, and during the period of colonization of the Sol System and the occasional colonial uprisings during that period which preceded the Earth-Colonial War and the founding of the United Colonies economists and political scientists have espoused it. Edward Nordstrom expressed support for meritocracy before his death, but doubted agonocracy somewhat, holding a neutral opinion on it because it was, in his view, never fully tried. It has since never been fully implemented, but the same currents of support remain. The UCE's "executive branch" to borrow a term from 21st century democracy is composed of largely self-governing branches of specialists in the general fields that the Divisions of this branch are named for: colonial governance, space exploration, scientific research and technological implementation, diplomacy, etc. Many of the people in these divisions support some idea of meritocracy. Since the founding of the UCE social liberalism has also been a strong influencer of the public and elite opinion as well, with most members of the elite holding support for meritocracy. Agonocracy, meanwhile, is losing its' historical obscurity. Several Inner Colonies are experimenting with inserting it into their own governance while retaining a veneer of democratic control, such as Kalliri and UCE-controlled Ruson. The most notable supporter of agonocracy itself in the United Colonies of Earth is Admiral Daniel Hosten, a member of the Merit Club and author of the book The Elite We Deserve, And The One We Get, published in 2548.
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: It is regarded as an aristocratic version of meritocracy, which is viewed more positively, which denigrates the majority and elevates a minority of specialists over the rest of the people to rule as they please. Naturally this all means it isn't viewed very positively at all. Unfortunately, its' historical obscurity means it isn't very widely known and as aforementioned, only a few people promote it. This all being in contrast to meritocracy.
When polled in 2550 by the Victoria (Mu Arae b) University, a sample of 400,000 citizens had the following percentages of opinion:
72%- don't know or neutral
21%- disapprove
7%- approve
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: It would appear to violate democratic principles enshrined culturally, but isn't unconstitutional and can be subtly implemented.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: No.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: No.
If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country: Agonocracy has been a conceived-of ideology amongst a few academics, philosophers, government officials and economic preeminences since the founding of the UCE in 2180. It has largely been ignored in the face of struggles with regards to colonial autonomy, economic automation, and indeed economic organization for the past three hundred years, and as such is not widely known; until the beginning of the 26th century little effort was made to propagate knowledge of it. However, it is now becoming more and more known in the popular circles, and has met a neutral or negative response from many, as of 2552.

[Living Stones]

Nation Name (IC): The Assembly of Living Stones
Government Type: Theocracy
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: No.
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): N/A
If so how popular are they?: N/A
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: N/A
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: N/A
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: N/A
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: Virtually none; the Assembly works tirelessly so stamp out "worldly" views considered threatening, including Agnocracy.
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: Negative.
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: Negative.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: Agnocratic parties have never been known to exist. Agnocratic individuals have been discovered form time to time, & have been forbidden from voting. Since Agnocracy is marked as a "particularly dangerous form of worldliness" & "an exceedingly evil combination of heresies", all convicted Agnocrats have been forbidden from even attending Assembly meetings.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: No.
If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country: Agnocratic ideas where first recorded among members in the 2000s. Agnocracy was noted in the official records & measures where taken to stamp it out. Most Agnocrats have been convinced of the errors of their ways, although obstinate sinners have faced the punishment of the majority.

The arrangement of Living Stones' society, particularly the system of leaders of state owned businesses being appointed & dismissed based on merit, is vaguely similar to Agonocracy. This is most likely a coincidence, though some analysts have theorized a distant link via the mutual influence of Plato's Republic. The Assembly's overall society is ultimately vastly distant from Agonocracy, being explicitly Christian & witnessing mass wealth redistribution.

[Blackwing Coast]

Nation Name (IC): Blackwing Coast
Government Type: Meritocratic Dictatorship (i.e. the dictator makes sure that persons of merit get into positions of power and persons of inferior merit stay out of the way and leave)
Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?:
Parts of the Inquistion, some supremacist clubs (within their own group, and through their struggle with each other, in the wider populace)
and most notably God Empress Shinra hirself (albeit more out of pragmatic-sadistic motivations than the elitist philantrophy shi sees as the root of the Agonocratic philosophy)
When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): Within the last 300 years, compared with the standard 2KAD Terran Calendar. Shinra had hir change of mind (from military dictatorship) some 500 years ago.
If so how popular are they?: Generally unpopular, people do not like being coal dust in the diamond press.
If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: Intrernal elections within the different comminities have them averaging at 12%, external Selections (by Shinra) grant another approx. 20% positions of power.
Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: The only true seat of legislature is Shinra (so yes)
Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: Shinra practices gunpoint meritocracy - exceed and you get a seat (if no free seats are available, odds are a new one gets built), do not perform to (ever-increasing) expectations, or worse, get in the way of those that do, and you get removed. Shinra hirself stands outside of that hierarcy - while at the same time being the one person entitled to ultimately enforce it. This avoids a conflict of interest between the biological imperative of seeking personal dominance and the meritocratic imperative of giving the position to the one best suited to it, even at personal detriment. Shi is aware that hir own position is one hypocrisy - hir usual response is a self-ironic chuckle and reminding the critics that shi has centuries of experience ruling Blackwing Coast and the power to have each of them killed. Shi also usually listens to hir advisors, quite a few of which shi acknowledges as more competent in their fields than hirself.
What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: The live the low-brow version of Agonocracy - killing their rivals and fostering people useful to them. People who do not fit into their schemes but have genuine potential are more spared and fostered out of fear of Shrina - and hopes of riding on their coattails.
What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: People do not like being coal dust in the diamond press, but those hardy enough to thive like seeing the weaklings crushed, lest they usurp them by numbers.
What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: Sharpen the Knives on Each Other. Stir the Pot lest it Boils Over. Be the Eye of the Storm. I.e. hypocritical but positive.
Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: Only if they significantly increase the risk of civil war. Even then it boils down to single abductions and assasinations.
Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: Many. The difference between Blackwing Coast's internal politics and civil war is that the Inquisition keeps a lid on the thing.
If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country: Eventually Shinra realized that ruthlessness does not always equal competence, and even competence not always is enough. Likewise shi realized that the system of ruthless social darwinism shi had established and fostered before led to too much wasted potential. Thus shi shifted to practicing and enforcing gunpoint meritocracy.

_{*Note: I will only consider it a legitimately separate branch of ideology if I personally see a noted difference from, yet influence of, Agonocratic ideas. Not just Agonocracy with your despot of the week's name stuck in front of it. If it bares no difference from normal Agonocracy I will count it as such and if it bares no resemblance I will count it as something else. You are free to delete this note, indeed I implore you to do so.}

[Ashkera]

ＵＰＤＡＴＥ！

Nation Name (IC): The Commonwealth of Ashkera / The Fifth Empire of Greater Kuromori (第五大黒森帝国)

Government Type: Constitutional Unitary Oligarchy (wiki), Father Knows Best State (WA), Technocratic Crypto-Oligarchy

Are there any Agonocratic parties or organisations espousing similar ideas in your nation?: The Great Heavenly Wave / Path of Struggle (now defunct), a faction in the Ashkeran Civil War.

When were they founded? (1950s earliest and ideally only 2010s): Founded 1922. Defeated 1936, with isolated guerrillas until 1951.

If so how popular are they?: At its peak, the Great Heavenly Wave controlled several cities, with a total population of 3.5 million. Population buy-in was mixed, but most internal violence was confined to the elites, which was better than under the Shogun. The plan to dissolve the family unit was never followed-through on, except among core movement members.

If your nation has elections, what percentage of the vote did they get?: N/A

Do they hold any seats in the legislature?: No.

Does said party espouse orthodox Agonocracy or some local variant thereof? If the latter, how does this variant differ from mainstream Agonocracy*: Similar to orthodox Agonocracy, Tatsuno Kazuo's Path of Struggle supports the undemocratic rule of society by a struggling (and meritocratically-selected) elite, the dissolution of the nuclear family and safety nets, the distribution of state functions to "great men" of society, and the establishment of education as the primary responsibility of government. The name comes from symbolism within the Ashkeran religion - though Tatsuno himself was not religious. It refers to the attack by the gods that struck down the warrior-philosopher Ishiko (the central figure of the Ashkeran native religion) after she attained enlightenment and attempted to enter the heavens, shattering her soul into ten thousand pieces and giving humans the power of Reason.

What influence do Agonocratic ideas have on your nation's political, economic, cultural or military elite?: Although some elites have read Kazuo's writings (it is possible to do this even for private citizens after being cleared as low risk), the influences on the current generation of elites is relatively minor. Many who might otherwise be susceptible have instead been absorbed into the massive apparatus of the Technocracy and its own ideology, which is in some ways a modernization of the scholar-bureaucracy that ruled Ashkera throughout most of its empires. (However, it's important to note that the scholar-bureaucracy itself, and its cultural influences, such as the Ashkeran native religion, are not typical of many countries.) As such, Ashkera continues to be a nation with a highly-armed populace ruled by a group of unelected and highly-educated elites who always have some risk of being deposed.

What is the general popular opinion on Agonocracy?: Purely accurate representations largely don't exist due to widespread censorship of the original works, although many distorted echoes live on. The level of censorship was reduced in the 60's, with the lack of guerrillas (in general) in the country. In general, it is considered cruel, cold, and alien by most ordinary people. It sometimes shows up in the philosophy of villains in everything from TV shows to books.

What is the government's opinion on Agonocracy?: As an actual ideology, it has few practitioners and thus is much less of a threat than it once was. The elites tend to think of it as having some level of truth, while remaining both unworkable and undesirable. It is to be suppressed and undermined like the ideologies of all the factions that lost against GAJRA in the civil war (Fascism, Communism, and Anarcho-Capitalism).

Has your government taken any measures against Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: In 1932, the GAJRA (Greater Ashkera Joint Reconstruction Authority) Central Committee banned Path of Struggle writings. From 1935 to 1940, it was prohibited to show the faces of the core followers of the movement. With the formation of the Fifth Empire and the Cooperative Technocratic State from GAJRA in 1940, this restriction was retained, and it remains a "banned ideology."

Have there ever been any instances of violence or terrorism involving Agonocratic parties or persons in your nation?: All the normal violence of the civil war, plus the guerrilla fighting in the 40's. After that, some isolated incidents have taken place as various small groups self-radicalized. Ashkerans take politics and philosophy unusually seriously, which is part of why the government still bans the texts even after the guerrillas were defeated.

If applicable please provide a brief history of Agonocracy in your country:
- 1917 - Leftist Rebellion in northwestern Ashkera takes the Isakawa Shogunate into civil war.
- 1922 - Tatsuno Kazuo, a military officer, launches a local coup as order breaks down in southeastern Ashkera.
- 1925 - Tatsuno Kazuo allies with the radical New Awakening sect of the Shadow Path, and the Great Heavenly Wave is formed.
- 1931 - The Heavenly Wave defeats the Free Men of Ashkera, a neighboring Anarcho-Capitalist faction.
- 1935 - Tatsuno Kazuo is captured by spies operating under the authority of the Oversight Council of the GAJRA Central Committee. He is executed in the traditional manner, by sword. This further raises the standing of OC-1's Nationalist Technocrat faction within GAJRA's legislature.
- 1936 - Following infighting over succession after Tatsuno's death, GAJRA forces conquer the Heavenly Wave territory.
- 1936-1951 - Mountain guerrillas fight with GAJRA, and then with the Royal Army's military police.

So, how about it, is Tatsuno Kazuo a cooler name than Bernard?
