Known World Political Systems Index [All Techs]

Postby Aleckandor » Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:28 pm

I did a thread just like this nearly 5 years ago — well, at least from the time I posted this thread. It had a fairly large reception while it was active, and I feel like wanting to try something like that again. This time however, I will frame it through a thing referred to as the Known World Political Systems Index, a joint fact-finding and assessment project done by the Aleckandorean "Bureau Of The Master State" (MSB) in collaboration with the powerful intelligence-gathering and data-mining resources of "Black Operations Brigade: Aleckandor" (BOBA). Either through various forms of inquiry and research via any and all possible mediums or by the discoveries made through deep cover reconnaissance, the Index acts a reference guide for the Confederacy's leadership upon the political landscape of the many different realms which inhabit the nigh infinite reaches of the NationStates Metaverse. This list would be a major open-source way for the people of Intraversal Alecksdom and possibly that of their allies to know about what sort of societies or commonwealths exist near or far beyond their periphery, and how they govern themselves — assuming, of course, if they in fact even possess an existing institution for civic governance as far as one may commonly discern the very concept of what a state of governance is.

The way this works will be extremely simple: just use the code below to fill out the information on the formal title of your nation, its government type, its prevailing ideologies, and a small description of how its government is run as well as what some of its key policies are. I will add your nation to the Index by hyperlinking your name to the entry you posted. Also, if you have already made an entry but want to update it if anything has changed since you posted, simply make another one and inform me if it is a replacement (though if you honestly forget to say that it is a replacement entry, I would probably figure that out by myself).

EXAMPLE:
Official Nation Name: The Global Sovereign Confederacy Of Aleckandor
Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies (If Any): Semi-Decentralized Transnationalism, Social Holonic Philosophy, Benevolent Pan-Yervhennism, Abolition Of Global Slavery, Zenithalism, Georgist/Geoist Land Value Taxation, Social Conservatism, Illiberal Ethnopluralism, Foreign Policy Interventionism, Anti-Anarchism, Anti-Communism, Anti-Corporatocracy
Government Type: Transnational Superstate/Confederal Republic
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): Aleckandor is not simply one nation with smaller subdivisions. It is rather a brotherhood of many different sovereign nations bound together underneath a new overarching identity and hegemonic body politic. These national subdivisions of the Confederacy all participate in the greater political processes carried out by the ad hoc nonpartisan blocs of the bicameral Legislative Consortium, made up of an upper house known as the Senatorial Assemblage and a lower house known as the Concert Of Delegations. A maximum of two Senators are allowed per every Organized Province, while any Amplificative Programs created by an Organized Province get one. All OrgaProvs and AmpliProgs get to have Delegates, but the number of how many they can put into office depends largely upon their regional populations. A single Grand-Protector is chosen to lead the Confederacy for a maximum of two terms worth five years each as supreme executive by a Grand Collegiate Of Special Electors. The distribution of the appointed Special Electors varies from prefecture to prefecture largely by the number of fixed lower house voting districts that exist within their borders. But going back to the divisional governments of the OrgaProvs themselves, it is worth noting that they have virtually free reign over the vast majority of their intragovernmental affairs unless a widely supported piece of constitutionally-supported confederal legislation binds them to a certain economic or sociopolitical standard that they must enforce, an aspect many observers from both within and outside Aleckandor refer to as 'semi-decentralization'. Though the Confederacy itself is a functionally a confederal constitutional republic, most of its parts on the regional scale of widely varying forms of governmental organization; some prefectures operate as multiparty parliamentary democracies, some are council-managed authoritarian states, and others are hereditary monarchies. In the end, however, the participation of all the prefectures bound to the Confederacy as a matter of principle makes them all accountable to the ultimate success and stability of one another underneath their shared global domain.
What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): Being founded in the wake of a revolt of gray-skinned Nord Yervhennian slaves, the Aleckandorean Confederacy is naturally an outspoken supporter for global abolitionism and is willing to use aggressively direct military force against slaver societies wherever possible. And speaking of Nord Yervhennians, they compose the vast majority of the Aleckandorean citizenry; as a result, the Confederacy has stepped up the tacit role of representing the interests and ambitions of much of the gray race throughout the Cosmonexus. Many Aleckandoreans also take after a political school known as Zenithalism, whose major philosophical tenets include a respect for the atavistic, perennial nature of objective traditional morals as well as a highly regimented form of patriotic thought framed through the belief that physical action is the best way to translate values which work towards the defense of and refinement of good civilization as well as the assault on and destruction of bad civilization; it is a hard right authoritarian ideology that espouses cultural nationalism (a middle ground between civic and ethnic nationalism), strong regulation and oversight over both domestic economic activity and high finance markets, meritocratic autonomous scholar-bureaucratic governance that demands the highest standards of loyalty as well as competence, vehement opposition to the enslavement of human beings of any race or creed, and support for local community paramilitary individuals or even tactical formations that would be endowed by the state with the arms and authority to dispense retributive justice and police behavior in public. Though Zenithalism is not an explicit official ideology of the realm, it is the official policy of many provinces - and from there - influences Aleckandorean politics on a major scale to the point that it seems to dominate the everyday lifestyles and ideational motives for a major part of the electorate. In the realm of economic management, the Confederacy has found great affinity for the work and ideas of land value theorists such as Henry George and those who followed after him, for it is now codified into national law that all OrgaProvs and AmpliProgs and Martial Segmenta have geoist-styled land value taxation systems that make all land commonly leased property with incentives for increased productivity and efficiency. The government and public at large also have a disdain for communistic and corporatocratic systems equally; it views the former as antithetical to the natural development of a higher human cultural schema as well as being damning recipe for massive-scale economic catastrophe, while the latter is viewed as an unnatural means through which people are forced to become dehumanized to the point that they are subservient to market forces and their drivers rather than to ethical philosophies or any other higher ideals. To this end, Aleckandoreans are often ready and willing to skip all diplomatic overtures and head straight to violence when confronted by manifestations of such systems.

Official Nation Name: The Beautiful Empire of Orioni

Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Centralized government; monarchy; free-trade; personal liberties; environmentalism; gender equality; eudaemonism

Government Type: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy

How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Orioni Empire is a constitutional monarchy, and succession to the Orioni throne is hereditary. The monarch, or Sovereign, is the Head of State. The government is organised into three geographical significant levels: imperial, regional, and local. Elections are held every 5 years for each of these levels of government. Regional autonomy is quite extensive. The Imperial level takes command of most international affairs such as defence, commerce and foreign affairs. The government is comprised of three branches of government. These three branches were designed to apply checks and balances on each other. The Senate serves as the legislative body of the Orioni Empire. It is a unicameral system.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): The current government was elected to power in 2015. The main focus is commerce: the free movement of goods. Throughout its history, Orioni has been involved in trade due to its location, size and natural resources. Nature and culture are major components of Orioni tourism. The natural heritage can boast a unique combination of a tropical climate. These natural attractions are complemented by a rich cultural heritage that reflects Orioni's dynamic history and ethnic diversity. Healthcare in Orioni is a devolved matter and each region has its own system of private and publicly funded health care, together with alternative, holistic and complementary treatments. Public healthcare is provided to all permanent residents and is mostly free at the point of need, being paid for from general taxation. In 2006, Orioni began reorganising its military force. This was partly due to the Great Pot Wars (2004). The government leadership were in shock after the surprise attacks and started supporting military reform. The restructuring was completed in 2011. It was during this 5-year period that the OSRU was formed.

Official Nation Name: The Crylantian Federation
Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): The constitution has a noted trend towards social democratic and classical liberal ideas.
Government Type: Federal multi-party directorial republic with significant elements of direct democracy.
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): Crylante is divided up into 17 stadelles/jords, each with its own government. They are united by a federal government, which has three branches. The first branch is the legislature, which is responsible for the passing of and debating of legislation, and consists of the State's Assembly, which has three representatives from each state, and the People's Assembly, which has representation according to population. The executive branch is the second branch, and consists of a council of seven each in charge of a specific department of government, and is chosen by the legislature. The judicial is there to make sure that the constitution is followed and to mediate disputes by political bodies in the Crylantian Federation. While some law is made by the legislature, large amounts of law are also decided by referenda, and the states of Nixoperuit and Marnehus have pure direct democracy in their government.
What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): It is hard to say, as the current government is a perpetual coalition, but recent advances include:
  • Abolition of tuition fees.
  • Development of relations with Vvarden.
  • More LGBT-inclusive sex education.
  • Intersex recognition.
  • Preparation for the Copa d'Aeia 2017.

Official Nation Name: Federal Republic of Appalachia
Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Federalism, Social liberalism, Economic protectionism, Military isolationism
Government Type: Federal bicameral Presidential republic
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): Appalachia is divided into 15 provinces. Although the provinces have a fair amount of authority, they are ultimately subject to the Federal government, and the Federal government maintains sole authority in all matters involving foreign nations.

The federal government is comprised of an Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch. The President and Vice-President are elected together by popular vote to 5-year terms, with a two-term lifetime limit for the President. The Vice President serves as President in the event of the President's illness, death, or resignation. In the case of the latter two, the Vice President serves out the remainder of the 5 year term. If the President is removed from office in some way while the Vice Presidency is vacant, the Speaker of the Assembly becomes President, but only in an Acting capacity until a new election is organized. The President also selects a cabinet to oversee various Ministries. These appointees serve at the President's leisure but may be removed by a 3/4ths votes in the Senate alone.

The Legislature is divided into a Lower House (Assembly) and upper house (Senate). The Assembly consists of 252 members representing districts of approximately equal population, they are elected to 3 year terms with no lifetime limit. The Senate consists of 45 members (3 per province) elected to 6 year terms with no limit. Laws passed by both chambers go to the President, who may veto a law, but their veto may be overturned with a 3/4ths vote in both chambers of the legislature.

The High Court is a 7-judge body that is the absolute final court of appeal in federal cases, and may rule on the constitutionality of laws. It is also the court of original jurisdiction for lawsuits between provincial governments, or between a province and the Federal government. The judges of the High Court are selected by the President and must be approved by the Senate. These positions are lifetime unless a judge retires or is impeached. The position of Chief Judge rotates every 5 years, the Chief does not vote except to break a tie.

Each province has its own elected governor and a unicameral legislature, the number of representatives and their term limits vary by province. All citizens above the age of 18 who are not currently serving a prison sentence or probation may vote.
What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Mountain Alliance is currently the ruling party, holding both the Presidency and the majority in both chambers of the legislature as they have for 35 years. There are other parties, but the MA is popular as the 'party of independence'. Its popularity is beginning to wane, however, as evidence of corruption comes to light.

The Mountain Alliance's major positions are pro-labor unions, economic protectionism (meaning that tariffs and regulations favor domestic industry, but there are still foreign imports), isolationism in terms of military and diplomatic affairs, maintaining a relatively small, defensive military, and providing social welfare in the form of universal healthcare, pensions, and monetary assistance to the poor. Labor unions have a very noticeably strong influence on government and policy.

The Alliance believes in expanding Appalachia's industrial and mining sectors, and although they have instituted some environmental regulations they are not as strong as environmentalist groups would like, the MA's pro hydroelectric and nuclear power stance are also controversial with environmentalists. They have instituted free college for the impoverished, and almost all families can receive significant assistance towards higher education. The Alliance has left major civil rights issues (most notably marriage equality, which was passed in 2015, and marijuana legalization which is on the ballot for this year) up to the people via referendums. The Alliance favors a strong federal government over granting more power to the provinces.

Postby Diarcesia » Wed Jul 26, 2017 4:39 pm

Official Nation Name: Monarchia Diarcesium (The Monarchy Diarcesian)
Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any):
Government Type: Monarchy
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): Diarcesia is an entity composed of multiple self-governing polities. It is named as such in honor of the first polity that formed this monarchy.

It is lead by an archonate of twenty archons. At its head is the monarch. Then there are the triarchs, heptarchs, and nonarchs. The government has four branches. The first is the executive, of which the twenty archons is a part. The second is the legislative, which is the nomothesia. The third is the judicative, and the fourth branch is the constitutive.

The fourth branch is a Diarcesian invention to address a need of screening and appointing candidates to the five elective nonarch posts. Just as judges are vested a great deal of trust to uphold the rule of law, the constitutors are given the great burden of presenting the ablest candidates to the people for election to the archonate.
What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): The most visible position of the Diarcesian government is to conduct as little intervention as possible to other countries, just as it does not want others to interfere in its internal affairs. However, it is willing to provide assistance to other countries when asked. Diarcesia is also proactive in pursuing economic and technological ties with others in its undying pursuit of excellence in all fields of reality. Even then, it continually maintains a credible military force to deter those who seek to destroy the monarchy.

As far as domestic policies are concerned, Diarcesia recognes the different situations of different parts of its territory. The government often delegates the minutiae of everyday governance to the polities, the monarchical presence serving as a force of respectful harmony between all others.

Postby Old Tyrannia » Wed Jul 26, 2017 4:46 pm

Official Nation Name: The Grand Fascist Empire of Old Tyrannia (Tyrannic Latin: Imperium Magnum Fascisticum Tyranniae Antiquae)

Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Tyrannian Fascism, Palingenetic Ultranationalism, Corporatism, Imperialism, Dominion Theology

Government Type: One-party parliamentary executive constitutional monarchy

How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Emperor of Old Tyrannia (Imperator Tyranniae Antiquae) is head of state and the font of all authority, and all actions of government are carried out in the Emperor's name. The imperial monarchy is hereditary and succession is by male-preference primogeniture. The Emperor has the power to convene and dismiss Parliament, declare war and peace, veto any legislation and overrule judicial decisions. The Prime Minister (Princeps Ministrorum) is appointed by the Emperor, but is customarily the parliamentary leader of the Imperial Fascist Party, selected by the party's members through an internal voting process. The Prime Minister exercises the executive functions of government on the Emperor's behalf; his or her role may range from being the effective chief executive of the government to being merely the Emperor's chief advisor and head of the general staff, depending on the circumstances.

The supreme legislative body of the Tyrannian Empire, the Imperial Parliament (Parliamentum Imperialem Tyrannicum), consists of an upper house, the Concilium Nobilis or House of Nobles (also called the House of Peers), and a lower house, called the Concilium Plebis or House of Commons, often referred to in English as the House of Representatives. The House of Nobles is composed of all princes of the Imperial Family, all upper-ranking members of the Tyrannian nobility, a fixed number of representatives elected from amongst the ranks of the lower nobility and an unlimited number of imperial appointees. The House of Representatives consists of 228 members elected by proportional representation to represent the 32 provinces of Old Tyrannia, with each province being assigned a number of representatives based on their population. The constitution reserves a number of seats for members of the Imperial Fascist Party, which is therefore constitutionally guaranteed at least a plurality in the Tyrannian Parliament. Members of the House of Nobles serve for life, or until voluntary retirement, although they may be barred from attending and voting by imperial decree. Elections to the House of Representatives are generally held every six years by convention, although constitutionally the Emperor possesses the right to dissolve Parliament at his pleasure, and there is no absolute limit on the term of a parliament. There is no limit to the number of terms that a member of the House of Representatives may serve.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Tyrannian Imperial Government is known to pursue mercantilist and protectionist economic policies, restricting trade between the Empire's numerous colonies and client states and other nations in order to enjoy a monopoly on their markets. The Empire maintains a highly regulated market economy, with a close relationship between the State, large corporations and workers' organisations. Tyrannian workers do enjoy strong legal protections against employers, and there is universal, free at the point of delivery healthcare provided under the Bismarckian model. Civil and political rights are severely curtailed; there are no laws protecting free speech, and the Imperial Government maintains control of the population with the aide of the CSCP (Commissionibus Securitas et Concordia Publica, Committee for Public Security and Harmony), its secret police and domestic counterintelligence apparatus. Tyrannian society is highly conservative socially, and the Government actively promotes "traditional morality" and the role of the Tyrannian Orthodox Church in society, though there is little legislation actually banning activities viewed as immoral such as same-sex relations or alcohol consumption (though drug laws are draconian compared to elsewhere in the world). In terms of foreign affairs Tyrannia is infamously imperialistic, and in line with its supremacist and exceptionalist worldview insists that it is subject to no external authority and that the Tyrannian Emperor possesses a divine and universal mandate to rule. As well as military expansion the Empire frequently exerts economic and diplomatic pressure on smaller nations to bring them within its sphere of influence. However, the Empire has occasionally shown an earnest interest in international cooperation, even with states holding diametrically opposing ideologies, where it perceives an overwhelming common interest; in line with both pragmatism and a strongly ingrained cultural notion of martial honour Old Tyrannia is a major proponent of the non-proliferation and non-use of nuclear and chemical weapons, and is one of the most advanced nations in the world in terms of environmental protections and renewable energy usage, causes which it enthusiastically promotes on an international level.

Official Nation Name: Kingdom of Norway
Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Social-liberalism, environmentalism, populism, conservatism, anti-unionism
Government Type:Unitary Constitutional/parliamentary monarchy
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The head of the state is Harald V "the Freemind", serving as a constitutional figurehead monarch, exercising no real power. The succession is hereditary and the succession law is carried out by the monarch electively.
Instead, the government is organized into two levels: regional and provincial. Elections are held every 3 years for regional levels and 4 years for provincial ones to select a senator. The Prime Minister, elected from the Cabinet, has the duty to dismiss or select ministers, who in turn through limited executive power control the country through policies.

The supreme legislative body of Norway is the Storting, established in 1825, following the signing of the Norwegian Constitution. The Storting is led by the President and the Speaker of the House, Johannes Gustav and located in Oslo. The unicameral parliament has 185 representatives, and they are elected every two years based on proportional representation. In addition with the president, there are 3 vice presidents.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum):The current party was elected to power in 2016. The biggest focus of the new conservative government is the police force. The police force has been underfunded, untrained and unequipped. It has also remarkably began pursuing pro-employer policies. Another major concern was the development of the environment, with pursuit of green and geothermal energy to replace coal and oil plants. In according to the Sekund Norge politics, the government is forbidden to increase military quantity (not quality) of 80,000, so the government has made some progress towards modernizing it. Religiously, they unlike most conservatives don't support religion, believing in secularism instead. Commercially, they focus on free trade, since Norway has been always a rich nation and tariffs were unnecessary. Economically, they support economic interventionism.

(5 Sentences Minimum): A unitary stratocratic state that follows a uniquely-Zhouranese variation called Yuhukekang*, the national unicameral legislature of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the Supreme Assembly, which has 1,500 members. Assembly Sessions are held in five-year intervals, starting on May 8 and ending on May 18. The first Assembly Session was held in 1957. Assembly Sessions provide an opportunity for the government to review past policies and present future plans to the nation. On November 7, 2002, the People's Republic of Zhouran legalized the creation of opposition parties, turning the nation's political party system from a single-party system to a dominant-party system with the People's Party being the leading dominant ruling-party in power. Since 2002, out of the 1,500 seats in the Supreme Assembly, around 900 seats are reserved for civilian members of the People's Party, around 500 military-only seats for Zhouranese People's Army military-appointees nominated by the People's Defense Council, and around 100 seats for opposition parties. Prior to the legalization of opposition parties on November 7, 2002, around 1,000 seats were reserved for civilian members of the People's Party and around 500 military-only seats for Zhouranese People's Army military-appointees nominated by the People's Defense Council. Although the Supreme Assembly is the primary legislative body of Zhouran, it ordinarily delegates authority to the smaller and more powerful State Presidium, chosen from among its members. The State Presidium has about 80 members and is led by the President of the State Presidium (Head of State), who is assisted by the Vice-President of the State Presidium.

Below the State Presidium are both the People's Defense Council and the Central Council. The People's Defense Council of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the highest guiding organ of the military and the managing organ of military matters in the nation. The Chairman of the People's Defense Council is the Supreme Commander of the Zhouranese People's Army. The PDC is regarded as the most powerful government council in the country and is led by the Chairman of the People's Defense Council (Head of Military), who is assisted by the Vice-Chairman of the PDC. The Central Council of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the chief administrative authority of the nation. It is chaired by the Premier of the Central Council (Head of Government), assisted by three Vice-Premiers and five Central Council-Members.

Since September 12, 1956, the People's Republic of Zhouran has three levels of local government: province, district, and city. Provinces are the first level of the administrative structure. A standard provincial government is led by a provincial council, headed by a governor. The governor is first-in-charge of the province, with the vice-governor being second-in-charge. Districts are the second level of the administrative structure. Each provinces are divided into districts. Each district is governed by a district-chairman. A city is a permanent settlement with a name and defined boundaries. They are the third level of the administrative structure. Each city is headed by a mayor.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): Following a non-align neutral, semi-isolationist policy modeled after Kunbangist and Yirenweibenist thinking, the People's Republic has rarely intervened in foreign conflicts. Since the late 1980s, the number of Zhouranese troops and bases in foreign land has significantly increased, placing Zhouran on par with the United States in terms of number of troops deployed in expeditionary operations. Despite this, the PRZ remains strongly opposed to armed interventionism as practiced by Western nations, calling it nothing more than "Neo-Colonial Imperialism". With foreign policy, the Zhouranese holds positive relationships with both various Western nations such as the US and Italy, and numerous non-Western-aligned nations such as Iran and Kazakhstan.

Internally, current Zhouranese domestic policies could be described as "Meritocracy, Law & Order, Maximum Social Mobility, Military Preparedness, Economic Stability, Industrial Productivity, and National Prosperity". With one of the lowest crime rates in the world and one of the most highly-efficient and effective healthcare system, Zhouran is regarded as a highly-developed First-World nation with a very-high human development rate, placing the country on par with wealthy Western & Northern European states. Its highly-efficient, merit-based social-security system, ranked as best in Asia and one of the best in the world, has also played an important role in the prosperity and human development of the nation.

Economically, the PRZ could be described as "right-wing socialist" since unlike in most countries, Zhouranese economic thinking has always been collectivist yet right-leaning to syncretic third-positionist. Since the start of the "Zhouranese Economic Miracle" on January 3, 1979, the economic system of the People's Republic of Zhouran switched from Self-Management Economy to People's-Oriented Market Economy*, which itself uses the Laixinjue School of Economics.

The Laixinjue School of Economics, also referred to as Laixinjue Economics, is a school of economic thought created in early 1938 at Laixinjue University in Ouyang. Influenced by Zhouranese Socialism* (which is a Zhouranese characteristic of socialism created in early 1922), the Laixinjue view is that aggregate demand (total spending in the economy) does not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the economy and that the government should provide significant services in the area of social security, unemployment benefits and recognition of labor rights through national collective bargaining arrangements.

The Laixinjue School advocates support for combining free markets with a social safety net while retaining public ownership of key sectors; support for a comprehensive merit-based welfare state aimed specifically at enhancing individual autonomy while promoting social mobility and meritocracy; reducing conflict between labor and the interests of capital using a corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where employer federations and labor representatives from collective productive unions and cooperative management groups bargain at the national level mediated by the government; strong emphasis on maximizing labor force participation, promoting meritocracy and social cohesion, the large magnitude of income redistribution, and liberal use of expansionary fiscal policy; values of creativity, discipline, concern for the greater good, productivity and self-sacrifice; support for using innovative industrial relations and closer relationships between the financial and industrial sectors to cultivate economic prosperity; and a commitment to widespread private ownership, free markets and free trade.

Because of the current economic system and school of economic thought being used in the nation's economy, the People's Republic of Zhouran is commonly known by foreigners as a Right-Wing Welfare State with many right-leaning nationalists, fascists and national-socialists (nazis) calling Zhouran the ideal model third-positionist utopia due to its radical left-wing economics and reactionary right-wing ethno-culturalist society. Not only that, right-wing nationalists, fascists and national-socialists admire the third-position economic ideas from Zhouran due to similarities with the economic policies of national-socialism, Italian fascism, strasserism and falangism, however those who support the free-market tend to dislike Zhouranese economic ideas due to their collectivist nature (Zhouranese society is collectivist in comparison to individualistic western societies) and socialistic pinko-behavior (ironically every Zhouranese economic thinkers have always been strongly anti-marxist).

Many leftist socialists from the West and third-world nations strongly abhor Zhouran for being a "xenohpobic racist fascistic racial-supremacist nazi hell-hole" (which is a load of bullsh*t) but at the same time do admire Zhouran's economic ideas due to their similarities with the more-leftist economic ideas from Nordic nations.

Because Zhouran's right-wing socialistic economic ideas revolve around caring for the people, social mobility, meritocracy and productivity, this has a strong effect on standard of living in the nation. As a result, being a first-world nation with a very-high standard of living, Zhouran is said to have the most efficient social security in Asia and one of the best in the world, placing it in a similar ranking with the social securities of Nordic nations such as Sweden and Norway.

While Laixinjue Economics does receive praise both domestically and internationally, it also receives its fair share of criticism, especially from the more-hardline elements of Zhouranese socialism, kunbangism* and yirenweiben* who believe that the school is nothing more than classic western-brainwashed capitalist revisionism with supporters of the school being called out by hardline Zhouranese socialists, kunbangists and yirenweibenists as capitalist traitors, lapdogs for Wall-Street banking cartels and western whores.


A Yuhukekang (Putonghua: 裕瑚克炕; Ancient Zhouranese: Yuhuukuukang), created in 7 BC during the birth of the Silin Dynasty and the emergence of the Zhouranese warrior culture, is a form of power structure in which a state is ruled over by a powerful, honor-oriented, military government that is traditionally and/or constitutionally the same entity. High government positions are always occupied by military figures while non-military people can only hold low-ranking positions.

In the political situation of a yuhukekang state, the legislature (the law-making body), the judiciary (the judicial body), and the executive branch (the highest body of authority), are controlled by military figures. Both the legislature and judiciary can respond to the military leadership only.


People-oriented market economy (Putonghua: 以人为本的市场) is a nominally free-market system where the state provides significant services in the area of social security, unemployment benefits and recognition of labor rights through national collective bargaining arrangements. It is a form of market capitalism created in the People's Republic of Zhouran on January 3, 1979, during the start of the "Zhouranese Economic Miracle."

Characteristics:

- A complex social safety net in addition to public services such as free education and universal healthcare

- An effective combination of monetary, credit, trade, tax, customs, investment, and social policies

- A partnership between employers, trade unions and the government, whereby these social partners negotiate the terms to regulating the workplace among themselves

- A free market combined with a social safety net, together with public ownership of key sectors


This type of market capitalism creates an economy that serves the welfare and needs of the people, thereby fulfilling its main goal.


Zhouranese Socialism is a characteristic of socialism that originated from Zhouran. Created in early 1922, it connects socialism with Zhouranese Virtues, which is an ethical code that was created in late 1861 and is associated with Zhouran's passionate and intense warrior culture, which dates back to the birth of the Silin Dynasty in 7 BC.

This unique variation of socialist thinking, believing in the values of creativity, discipline, concern for the greater good, productivity and self-sacrifice, is connected to the value system of Zhouranese Virtues, which significantly influenced the Zhouranese image of efficiency, discipline, loyalty and honor. Thinking outside the class conflict perspective, Zhouranese Socialism believes that the politics and society of a nation is not controlled by the opposition between rich and poor, but rather by rank, merits, achievement and talent. It also states that a "strong, cohesive and prosperous society is built on the distinction between command and obedience, the influences of military and bureaucratic discipline, and the idea that everyone has the possibility to attain every existing rank and receive merit exclusively based on ability and talent".

According to Zhouranese Socialism, "local corporate bodies should be organized according to the importance of each occupation to the people as a whole." The thinking also believes that "industries should be organized into collective productive unions in which industries are owned and managed by the workers through cooperative management groups composed of specialists and representatives of workers in each field to negotiate and manage the economy of a nation".


Kunbangism (Putonghua: 捆绑思想; English: Bundled Thought), also referred to as National Collectivism and Collective Nationalism, is a Zhouranese social, political and economic ideology created in early 1928. Considered to be a syncretic third position rather than left or right wing, the ideology is characterized by a militarist formulation, strong adherence to preserving cultural heritage and traditions, anti-individualism, statism, radical extremism, and aggressive militarism. Kunbangism is a combination of nationalism, conservatism and socialism.

Tenets

Nationalism and Conservatism

As the foundation of the ideology, nationalism and conservatism form the core of Kunbangism. The kunbangist view of a nation is of a single body that bundles people together by their culture, heritage and traditions, and is what naturally unifies people together. Kunbangism believes in upholding and defending cultural identity, which is what makes a nation and its culture unique.

Militarism

Kunbangism believes that the military plays an important role in the society of a nation. The ideology promotes strong military ethos and believes that a strong and prosperous military ensures the security, viability and stability of a nation. Kunbangism strongly emphasizes on military-patriotic values and the concept of unquestioning loyalty to both the military and the nation.

Hierarchy

Kunbangism emphasizes the need for authority, hierarchy, and order in society. The ideology believes that advancement in such a society should be based on performance and merit measured through examination and demonstrated achievement. Kunbangism also believes that each individual should work hard for personal rewards in life, and that the preservation of social hierarchy is in the interests of all classes, and therefore all classes should collaborate in its defense. Both the lower and the higher classes should accept their roles and perform their respective duties.

Economics

Kunbangism follows its own economic concept known as National Collective Socialism (Putonghua: 国家集体社会主义). This concept involves management of an organization by its workforce and self-directed organization, while the state supervises the economy and maintain a strong directive influence over investment. While national collective socialism believes in the nationalization of industries, the concept also allows private individuals to create their own company, as long as they cooperate with both the state and the workers. Under Kunbangism, the state should have a role in mediating relations between the classes, believing that the existence of inequality and separate social classes is beneficial to the economy and society.

Through national collective socialism, worker-members manage an organization indirectly through the election of specialist managers. Self-management is conducted by an oversight of an organization by elected bodies of specialized managers.

Kunbangism strongly promotes direct action to allows workers to lead the production and to form groups known as management unions within the organization they work in. Management unions allow all workers from an organization to come together for face-to-face meetings, in which each worker has one vote. With management unions, the managers within an organization are directly elected and recallable, however the most important decisions are made collectively by the whole workforce.

National collective socialism believes in total unity and that all citizens can work together and receive personal rewards and merits, as long as they are loyal, assimilated, and work towards the good of the nation. National collective socialism also believes that workers are not employees but partners in the administration of their enterprise. The importance of autonomy for productivity in the firm and allowing workers to receive a portion of the profit to tie up their productivity to their level of compensation, is strongly promoted.


Yirenweiben (Putonghua: 以人为本, English: people-oriented) is a Zhouranese political thesis created by Xia Peng on November 3, 1955, during the Zhouranese Civil War. It is a mix of socialism and militarism, and is currently the main ideology of the People's Republic of Zhouran since September 9, 1956. Yirenweiben states that "the people are the leading force of a growing nation." It is characterized by policies and practices based on the principle that in each country, the means of attaining ultimate goals must be dictated by the conditions of that particular country, rather than by a pattern set in another country. Yirenweiben also focuses on fast industrialization and modernization.

Since 1956, the government has elaborated Yirenweiben into a set of principles that they use to justify their policy decisions.

Values

- Strong military posture

- Industrialization and modernization

- Equality

- Progress

- Patriotism


A person who believes in Yirenweiben is called a Yirenweibenist in English.

Official Nation Name: Agheashtanou Baldhurou/The Great Ashtanate of Baldroun

Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Social democracy, multiculturalism, limited (but present) government intervention in the economy, pacifism

Government Type: A parliamentary, federal, and constitutional monarchy

How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Ashta is the Head of State, and acts as the Symbol of the Baldrounien Peoples' Unity, and rules for the welfare of his people. The Ashta has limited to no powers in running the government; the Ashta's roles related to the government mostly are the appointment of the Purunou (who is elected by the Panepouloen), the impeachment of the Purunou (after a constructive vote of no confidence by the Panepouloen), and the dissolution of the Vale Mevathe (as advised by the Purunou). The Ashta sees more power as the unofficial conscience of the government, and can speak about political affairs in order to influence policy decisions.

The Executive is instead vested in the Unepenqaue, which consists of the Purunou (essentially a Prime Minister) and his Ghauen. The Unepenqaue is the main source of new legislation, with each Ghauen writing up bills for the approval or amendment of the Panepouloen. Solidarity in the Unepenqaue is only absolute after a position has been taken, with the opinions of the individual Ghauen widely known to the public. The Purunou is elected by the Panepouloen, and usually is the leader of the leading coalition in the Panepouloen. He then appoints the Ghauen, which must have been members of the Panepouloen; upon receiving the responsibility of the Ghauen, a Ghauen must give up his/her seat in the Panepouloen, along with other jobs. Usually, an individual Purunou is less powerful than a typical Prime Minister; a Purunou acts more as the chairman of the Unepenqaue, where he/she coordinates the policies of the Ghauen. A Purunou, however, is generally respected as having the final say, but many Purunou delegate responsibilities in a certain sector to a corresponding Ghauen. A Purunou has a four-year term.

The Legislative is vested in the Panepouloen, which is divided into the Vale Mevathe (lower house), and the Vale Qinauen (upper house). The Vale Mevathe is more powerful than the Qinauen as it handles most of the legislation. A bill that passed in the Vale Mevathe has to go through the Vale Qinauen, where it will be reviewed. The Qinauen will suggest amendments to a bill, which can be ignored by the Mevathe; a bill vetoed by the Vale Qinauen can be passed by the Mevathe anyway. In tradition, however, simply ignoring the advice of the Qinauen is a political impossibility; the Qinauen are seen as the wiser legislators, away from the partisan politics of the Mevathe, but are given less powers due to their less democratic nature (which essentially is a longer term, more stringent requirements to be a Qina, and the immunity from the dissolution of the Ashta). Most legislation in both houses occur in committees, which focus on their respective issues and aspects of governance; a plenary session is seldom held.

Mevathe are elected through single transferrable vote, with the whole nation as a single constituency. The Vale Mevathe currently has 681 seats, but there is a maximum of 690. Qinauen, on the other hand, are elected through single transferrable vote, with multiple-seat constituencies (the states are the constituencies), depending on the state's population. The Vale Qinauen currently has 172 seats, but has a maximum of 180. Both are elected through partylist proportional representation. The Mevathe have four-year terms, while the Qinauen have six.

The Usqaebaen is the highest court of the land, and is typically a court of last resort; most cases strive to be resolved in lower ranking courts. It also has the power of determining constitutionality of a certain legislation, and can restrain the effects of such legislation until amendments are made, or simply veto the legislation. The vetoing of legislation has rarely occurred, however. Trials involving misconduct by government officials are instead handled by the Vandhae. The Judiciary is independent from both the Executive and the Legislative.

Doumene (states) enjoy a generous degree of autonomy; states have their own governments and legislatures, create their own laws (which are overridden by federal laws), and are responsible for their own education and healthcare, law enforcement and prisons, economic regulations, and even taxes (which is subject to limited regulation by the federal government). Doumene are divided into auighen (provinces) and ruzodhe (municipalities/cities); a state has its highest ruzodhe as its capital. However, five ruzodhe enjoy a level of autonomy similar to doumene, due to their economic and political significance: Dimaqhelgen Qarum, Samailuc, Tluquce, Qhul Vuirin, and Rabidaghe; the latter four are the four biggest cities, and are important global cities and centers of economy. Peculiarly, these cities are capitals of their corresponding doumene; how it works is that these cities are simply seats of government, but not all laws of the doumene automatically apply.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): Rodhe Oudhre, the current Purunou, has set out a policy of a war against corruption and crime, the empowerment of the poor and the police force, as well as slow rearmament and expansion of the small military.

The government also has a long history of secularism and liberalism; recreational consumption of marijuana is legal, as well as same-sex marriages. Alcohol and tobacco are heavily consumed, although the government is slowly introducing anti-tobacco policies. Powerful doumene has also been the trend, with the federal government retaining less and less responsibilities; promotion of cultural diversity and regional identities is present (instead of cultural assimilation), but centuries of coexistence and intermixing between the ethnicities has helped creating a unique Baldrounien identity. Zoning laws are in place to discourage suburban-style settlements; urban sprawl is small due to the limited space, instead opting for super-dense cities, surrounded by a small band of suburbia, and a lot of farmland. Foreign policy is generally pacifism and neutrality, except for economy. Baldroun has a history of aggressive economic and cultural dominance and expansion overseas, and has been praised as a major wielder of soft power; Baldroun is a leading member in multiple multilateral international organizations promoting free trade and economic cooperation. The military has historically been small, serving as defense for the nation, as well as internal security. Social security has been quite expansive and effective, but is now slowly being streamlined and shrinker for better efficiency.

Oudhre's aggressive assault against drugs and crime has been criticized as "violating human rights", "tyrannical", "extremely violent", and "anti-poor"; Oudhre is also criticized of accusing some of his opposition with corruption and involvement with drugs, and detaining them for such allegations. The rearmament of the military was a direct consequence of the Ghupra Crisis, but many people are against it, with one prominent commentator saying that Oudhre is "courting destruction" with his rearmament. Oudhre also has threatened doumene with taking away some of their powers due to their non-compliance to some of his policies, but this is a political impossibility. He has also introduced a tax reform that will greatly benefit the poor, and somewhat hurt the rich, as well as spearheading a major infrastructure expansion.

Official Nation Name: The Community of East Angria - Anarcistše Komune Zasn

Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Anarchism, communism, socialism, libertarianism, syndicalism, mutualism, democracy, environmentalism, pacifism, anti-capitalism, anti-fascism, anti-authoritarianism

Government Type: Free territory/federation of anarchist communes and councils

How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): Nominally, East Angria is an anarchist commune with very little bureaucracy and governmental control over the population. Instead of a parliament, the country employs a direct democratic system in which the whole population votes on passing and abolishing legislation. Representatives and government officials can be appointed and deposed directly by the group which they represent, requiring the support and trust of at least 50% of their voters.
East Angria’s economy is socialist in the sense that the means of production are firmly in the hands of the workers who use them. The survival of businesses does not depend on arbitrary monetary value, but on the available resources and the needs of the people. Cooperatives are state-owned only on paper, as they are actually used and horizontally managed by the workers themselves.
Foreign capitalist investments are allowed, but carefully observed and firmly regulated, so that no harm may come to the East Angrian population, environment and natural resources.
Instead of social welfare, a universal basic income of a thousand spliffs per month is in place, saving administrative work and cost and enabling everybody to live a life of peace, dignity and relative prosperity. All other income is regulated with a minimum wage of fifteen spliffs per hour and bonuses for especially dangerous, difficult, boring, repetitive, dirty, or necessary jobs, as well as for unpopular work hours at night and on weekends. Education and scientific research are almost universally regarded as especially important for progress.
The state has been replaced by a decentralized system of individually organized work towards the common good. All value that is produced by the citizens of East Angria goes back to benefit either themselves or their peers in a very direct way. The “Average Income Tax” stat denotes the percentage of value that is brought into public domain for everybody to use, instead of being used or sold by the workers themselves. Thus, in a way, the stat denotes the balance of anarchist socialism vs. communism in East Angria.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum): The government is constantly striving to reduce itself from a true authority to a helpful institution that enables people to work together for the common good. They seek to give people the largest possible degree of political and civil freedoms, social equality, and non-violent solutions to conflicts.
The long term goal is the implementation of communism by completely abolishing private property, money, the state, and social classes. Short term initiatives include the establishment of better education, scientific progress, renewable energy sources, integration, cultural platforms, and extensive public transit. Self-administration, federalization, and separatist movements are supported and encouraged. The representatives of the free territory also try to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts and establish mutualist trade and cooperation agreements with nations and communities all around the world.

Name(s) Of The Major Ideology/Ideologies Of The Nation (If Any): Islamism, Saddam Hussein style Baathism, Arab nationalism
Government Type: Unitary Constitutional Monarchy
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The government functions as a hereditary monarchy with the father passing down the position to the eldest son and if none are available then the eldest cousin if none available the next cousin. The nation has a prime minister with almost as much power as the Emir however the Emir overrides his authority. Under the Prime Minister is the Consultative Assembly and under them the Dawawin Offices. Over all of them however is still the Emir. The Emir may micromanage or let each political entity do as it pleases. The Prime Minister is elected ever 4 years by the consultative assembly and has no term limits however the Emir has the final say and may appoint one and dismiss both the Assembly and Prime Minister for as long as he likes for whatever reason. The consultative assembly is made up of 45 seats 30 of whom are elected and 15 appointed any of whom may be dismissed or replaced by the Emir the or Prime Minister.
What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum):The government takes both religion and tradition into account in it's policies. It also looks at family ties and tribalism. One such instance of this was strong support for Saddam Hussein in Iraq assisting Iraq during it's war with Iraq. The country is anti-Israel and is also against Communism and Leftist ideologies. Shurjah was a strong supporter of the Arab spring. Shurjah also tries to maintain a strong military with modern equipment. In propaganda and education the government tries to promote a medieval Islamic Golden Age identity in the citizens.

Government Type: One-party totalitarian state
How Does The Government Function? (5 Sentences Minimum): The Reichsfuhrer is the head of state and the head of authority for the state and nation. The Deutsche National Socialist Party are the main political power of the state and nation and control all political functions and activities within it. A legislative branch does exist with the Reichstag being the legislative body, however the Reichsfuhrer is known to have ultimate authority over what is passed as law within the country making the Reichstag more so a needless function to propagate the look of a functioning 'democracy'. A cabinet exists around the Reichsfuhrer in which assist in the drafting and passing of laws deemed necessary for the country. A 'Reichsleiter' is the position at the helm of the Deutsche National Socialist Party and can be recognizable as the main figure of authority over the Party, however the Reichsleiter acts upon the will of the Reichsfuhrer. Administrative divisions across the country are determined and drawn out around the Party itself as Party leaders are made as 'Governors' of sorts for administration of Party lines across the country.

What Are Some Of The Government's Positions/Policies? (5 Sentences Minimum):
1. The government operates under a 'Leader principle' or Fuhrerprinzip which can best be described as "The Fuhrer's word is above all written law."
2. The government is known best for it's racially motivated policies tied around it's people being of a 'Master Race' and the oppression of those considered racially unworthy.
3. The government is known to push policies of militarization as of current the Wehrmacht(Armed Forces) stand at 200,000,000 personnel.
4. The government is known to control all economic activity, any new economic activity must be approved by the government to occur, thus all major industries are nationalized and cartelized.
5. The government is known to be highly conservative and has morphed every aspect of life around this, globalism and other modern aspects known in first world democracies are frowned upon.
