Your Leader's Ideology

[Izzyshipper]

Does the leader of your nation follow a particular ideology or have they in fact developed their own personal brand? If so, what are their influences and main principles of their political philosophy?

Queen Sophia has developed her own philosophy, known by the press and media as Sophism, somewhat ironically given the original meaning of the word.

---

Name Sophism.
Practised by: Queen Sophia (Reign 1989 - Present)
Principles:

Enlightened Absolutism: The key principle of the movement, Queen Sophia's government seeks to maximise the civil rights, freedom of expression, culture and scientific achievement of a nation whilst retaining a politically powerful Monarch.

Realpolitik: The main focus of Queen Sophia's foreign policy, which seeks to use any means which are practical and relevant at the time to have the greatest positive outcome for Izzyshipper.

Free Market Capitalism: Queen Sophia's guiding philosophy when it comes to the economy, focusing on having few industries reliant on the state as possible, keeping taxes as low as feasible and a focus on the Private Sector. A notable exception to this would be the nationalisation of the Health Service in 2009, with a Private opt-out service.

Welfare: Despite her Free-Market tendencies, Queen Sophia's government has focused on providing a safety net for the unemployed, homeless and the disabled so that they can remain out of poverty.

Influenced By: Catherine the Great, Government of Tsvarchi, Bismark, Albert Kern (Izzerian Philosopher)

[Distruzio]

The King does, indeed, have his own personal philosophy: Anarcho-Monarchism.

[Tedoka]

Regulated Capitalism: The King seeks to strike a harmonic balance between the competing needs of the corporation and of the people. Companies are mostly left alone by the government as long as they treat their employees well and pay taxes.

Realpolitik: The King does not look at ideologies when it comes to foreign policy. The only thing he wants is to have dealings that will serve the positive interests of both sides.

Welfare: The King cares not if the country is rich or poor as long as the people are content with their lives and no one who works is homeless and starving.

Pacifism: The national ideology of the Kingdom as well, the King calls for peace among everyone. He keeps the long-standing tradition of an unarmed Kingdom.

Influenced By: Bismarck, Quintillus Carideus (founder of the Kingdom)

[The Murry]

What would Thatcher do?

[Dakini Femina]

The Stratos Council is made up of Nazis, while the Shogun is Fascist. There's a little tension that goes on because of it, but they generally get along and get the job done at any rate.

The Shogun doesn't seem to approve of the Council's egalitarianism and anti-Zionism, while it also finds itself under attack from the Nazi Stratos Council always trying to impose state control over commerce and trade.

[Urcea]

Classical Liberalism, as well as somewhat Neo-Conservative (only in regards to foreign policy).

[Lahuland]

Mixed-Liberalism (Liberalism is the dominant ideology, but it can be mixed with other good ideologies) and Risalism (a new ideology was created by the first leader of Lahuland, King Risal 1).

[Cruciland]

Name: Emperor WWhiteSShadow.
Ideology name: Christian Police State.
Principles: Constitutional monarchy with a group of advisers that make up the High Council and Council, enforced national religion and moral conduct, laissez-faire capitalism, militarism, pro-WMD, pro-science.
Influenced by: Nobody except for God and him. (Although one cult believes he's God. Every last member gets re-educated for this.)

[Chelta]

Name: Derbyism
Practised by: Geoffrey Moran MP (Prime Minister of Chelta 2008-present), Derbyites (a faction of the Conservative Whig Party)
Principles:

Free market capitalism: Low taxes, privatisation, deregulation, low tariffs, minimal government interference in economy.

Whiggery: constitutional monarchy, supremacy of Parliament (in both the traditional sense - over the monarch - and also supremacy over the executive), national sovereignty, responsible government

Traditionalism: Seeks to conserve and uphold the traditions of Chelta - the monarchy, Church of Chelta, the constitution.

Social Conservatism: Supports family, marriage, church, community and propogates strong moral values. Tough on crime and restrictive on immigration.

Localism & Direct Democracy: Encourages a decentralisation of power - open primary elections, local referenda, Citizens' Initiated Referenda, devolution of power to county and city governments, social security under local governments, MP recall power.

Patriotism: Encourages a strong and healthy sense of national identity, a key element of this is restricting immigration and promoting assimilation.

Influenced By: William Derby and Neil Deane (Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Chelta 1949-1960)
(OOC: Margaret Thatcher, Daniel Hannan, Norman Tebbit, Enoch Powell, Edmund Burke, John Howard)

[Kleomentia]

Our leader want's to make the nation safe,strong and rich. Which it is, but more never hurt anybody, too much.

[Soviet Italian Union]

The Central Committee of the Communist Party adopted the Marxism-Leninism as the praxis of the construction of Socialim to obtain Communism.

In fact, it's uncorrect to consider the Marxism-Leninism as an ideology, because the ideology is the collective conscience typical of a determined production relation, but Marxism-Leninism is a praxis.

[Dyste]

King Tyroth, who has ruled Dyste ever since the country was formed, has a very libertarian view on society, even though he's an absolute monarch. Like Queen Sophia, enlightened absolutism can be considered a key part of his rule. He will always listen to the wishes of his people, unless he feels that they are making a grave error (he once refused to go to war with a human nation, despite many citizens wanting it). One thing he does do that many nations would disagree with is having partial control of most of the major industries, though he would argue this is to prevent them from being corrupted. Above all else, though, he wishes his people to live life the way they desire, and so long as they do not try to go against him or commit a crime (such as murder, exploiting/abusing a fellow Draconid, or cruelty to Wind Drakes), he will not hinder them.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Not really. The Kaiser is a Christian (Protestant) and takes the Bible literally.

[Greater Evil Imperial Japanese Dystopia]

Huangdiist Communism

[Apoctis]

Name: Apoctism (both a religion and understanding)
Practised by: Apoctis and followers
Principles:

Enlightened Understanding:

Everything ends, as such it is only logical to live your life however you wish until it ends and of course worshipping the end as a friend not an enemy. Accept destruction and death and if you want even aid it for you will be rewarded. If you are mortal, shed this chain and become one of the many creatures of immortality.

Some Key ideas following this thought.

Innocence is an illusion

Only those who follow can truly not fear death

A Life for an Eye

Live for today

[Finchera]

The leader of Finchera is Dave Finch. He is a strict Communist, being a former Communist Phanafian military leader. This means bringing true Communism into the office of power in Finchera with prohibition of non-state controlled business and education. Finch hates both Capitalists and Anarchists.

Quote: "The Anarchists are pure evil, having no cultural value or maturity in their philosophy. In my eyes they are just as bad as the capitalist pig. The anarchist dog had destroyed our republic once before. Never again can we allow this primitive ideology to enter the minds of our people."

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

The Supreme Leader, Jarrod Thuman's official ideology is the Great Idea of Jahisticism aka. Jahistic Republicism.

It is based off the following

Borderline Lassiez Faire Capitalism We must allow buisnesses to supply needs, while treating their employees civilally.
Juche We must Rely strictly amongst ourselves and our Region.
Religious Freedom and Government Agnosticism There may be God or God(s) but any religion will not be set up as the official State Religion (The Supreme Leader follows Community of Christ Mormonism, the Prime Minister is Methodist, and Abrahamic Religions (Mormonism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam) makes up 97% of the population.
Constitutional Libertarianism/State's Rights We adopted a Constitution similar to the United States, and, unlike the traitor Americans, we will not abuse or stretch the Constitution's rules.
Stateless Nationalism We are a family, no matter what nationality you are. The Jahistic Americans are a Nation, but not of one State.
