Ideologies

This is a list of political ideologies employed by different countries:

Absolute Monarchy
An Absolute Monarchy is the concept of a monarch-led state in which said monarch holds unlimited power. In absolute monarchies, a monarch may do whatever he or she wishes, including making ridiculously terrible and pointless laws, executing their slightest enemies, or sending the army into battle, without being restricted by another group. Citizens and (often) aristocrats have little or no role in the government unless the monarch appoints them to manage something or fulfil a role. Parties may exist in these states, but it's very rare for them to hold any real power. Absolute monarchies include:


 * Fictian Empire (Historical)
 * Borogravia - Grand Duchy with Nugganatic Theocracy
 * Kel Romana(?)
 * Inutilia (Historical)
 * Langoustino

Constitutional Monarchy
Constitutional Monarchy is the concept of a monarch whose authority is limited by the constitution. In these states, a monarch cannot do whatever they want at a whim and is limited by another group that holds much power, typically a parliament. Some monarchs in these states are even weak enough to be considered figureheads and all power is truly vested in a different group. Current constitutional monarchies include:


 * Humerland - in Humerland, the monarch MAY take over in an emergency (royal prerogative) but never actually does so in practice. See full article for more.
 * Omari Robusuta
 * RCM
 * People's Republic of the Amurrhine
 * Valan(?)
 * Friesland

Republic
A Republic is the concept of a state lead by a leader and representatives elected by the people, whose authority is limited by the constitution. In republics, there are more positions of government than in monarchies, and occasionally, citizens can vote on laws themselves. Current republics include:


 * New Carthage
 * Eleutheria
 * Okhostia
 * Haluria
 * Nilo-Gordas
 * Great Universal Empire

Direct Democracy
A Direct Democracy is the concept of a state where the people vote directly on laws, rather than policies being put forth by representatives. This is difficult in larger populations than a few hundred due to the fact that convincing a big population to go vote on multiple issues frequently is difficult. Direct democracies include:


 * Westlar

[I find your lack of democracies disturbing]

Benevolent Dictatorships:
A benevolent dictatorship, as the name suggests, is when one individual is given complete control over a country, but said individual genuinely has the best interests of the country in mind and will do a better job of governing it than "some idiot vote-yourself-rich system like democracy", as Terry Pratchett put it in his novel 'Going Postal'. The main problem with this is that it is a short-term solution, as the next dictator in office isn't guaranteed to be benevolent at all. Benevolent dictatorships include:
 * New Canciona
 * RCM (pre-ownership transfer, historical)

Imperialism
An Imperialist state is one in which one culture, people, or nation rules over other subordinate groups who have been incorporated somehow into the same state or a puppet. Imperialist states include:


 * Humerland


 * Literally everyone else

Itadkerism
See Tanesti or Tanesti-Scevia

Itadkerism is a complex political system. Some tenents of it are that nations have a right to expand, criminals should be jailed for life, and there are no laws for animal rights. Other internationally frowned upon cultural activities are tolerable. Most Itadkerist states collapse eventually due to the policy either causing internal struggles or external conflict. Itadkerist states include:


 * RCM (historical)
 * Tanesti (historical)
 * Avaconia (A mix of Socialism and Itadkerism - A variety named Komadkerism)

Hyper-Capitalism
See WCC

Fictism
See Fictian Empire

Parliamentary Democracy
Parliamentary Democratic states include:


 * Humerland


 * People's Republic of the Amurrhine

Others also.

Theocracy
A Theocracy is the concept of a state with a ruler who makes decisions based on a religion. This religion is typically the national religion, and sometimes the only religion allowed. Theocratic states include:


 * Borogravia

Capitalism
Capitalism is the concept of a state where private parties sell and buy goods and services. Private property is also typically upheld in capitalism. Capitalist states include:


 * Great Universal Empire
 * Fictia
 * Eleutheria
 * Universia
 * NSCR

Many other countries likely use this system.

Socialism
Socialism is the concept of a state where the means of production are owned by the workers. Socialist states include:


 * People's Republic of the Amurrhine
 * Praenuntium
 * Avaconia (A mix of Socialism and Itadkerism - A variety named Komadkerism)

Democratic Socialism
Democratic socialism is the concept of combining socialism with democracy. Democratic socialist states are usually not hyper-socialist and usually allow small levels of supervised capitalism as the socialist party in government will not be in power forever. Democratic socialist states include:


 * People's Republic of the Amurrhine

Libertarianism
Libertarianism is the concept of a state that strives to protect its citizens' rights as much as possible. In Libertarianism, freedom, individuality, choice, are upheld, and the government tries to interfere in its citizens lives as little as possible. Libertarian states include:


 * Eleutheria
 * Empyrea

Anarcho-Capitalism
Anarcho-Capitalism is the concept of a state with no government. Companies are free to do as they please, and there are no taxes. Protection of citizens and other services are all supplied by companies. Anarcho-Capitalist states include:


 * NSCR
