List of political ideologies

In political science, an ideology is defined as a collection of beliefs, values and doctrines which set out the ethical and structural basis for a political system. Ideologies, while often attestable to a number of key figures, often form around the collectively held values of classes, social groups and institutions, which allow for diverse branches of an ideology influenced by the values and ideas propagated within a specific region, culture or institution.

The following list briefly explains the principles and goals of political ideologies which have held considerable influence within the history of a nation or nations, as well as those which currently hold sway in the political structure of contemporary political systems on Urth. Ideologies are grouped within sections based upon common values and historical association, though an ideology does not necessarily only fit within the group they are listed under.

Monarchism

Royalistic populism

Royalistic populism, sometimes known as Monarchistic populism, is an ideology based on the beliefs and policies of the former Norgsveltian prime minister Johan Ludvig. It was a major ideology in the Ulvrikian world, becoming popular after the Great War, with it having the largest impact on Norgsveldet.

Ludvig's beliefs were formed on the basis of the conserving of monarchies and modernising their role to fit a new society. Mainly through the establishment of grassroots movements and popular support to the monarchy, which in Royalistic populist doctrine will be that of a constitutional monarch whose main role is that of a national and cultural symbol for tradition and democracy.

Progressism

Progressism, alternatively Technocratic progressivism and Techno-atheism, is a radical interpretation of progressive concepts which advocates for the acceleration of social and technological development through the suppression or outright elimination of institutions deemed "regressive" and the consolidation of political power amongst the intelligentsia. The ideology seeks to create a techno-utopian society ruled on positivist, technocratic principles.

The ideology emerged in Suvania during the 20th Century, as a romanticization of the appointment of a technocratic directorate in the country during the late 18th Century, with adherents emerging during the time of the Suvan Republic under the Progressist Political Association - calling for the taxation of religious institutions and radical reformation of the state’s education in order to remove conservative bias. Following the banning of Progressism in the Suvan Republic in 1956, the ideology would manifest in its current, more radical interpretation by the Progressist Resistance - later Army of Progress.

Religious democracy

Akuan democracy

Akuan Democracy, sometimes referred to as Akuan Neo-Traditionalism, Political Akuanism however more commonly called as Akuan democracy. It originates from the Akuan collectivism, Akuan traditionalism and proto-Akuan democracy groups. Starting within the late 15th century and early 16th century.

The ideology draws from Akuanism values, traditions and historical precedent of Akuan societies. Its foundation of the ideology is debated between historians and religious scholars, however most agree on the core tenets of the ideology coming from the “Buy-in” as coined by Ny'Sjørg of Ymirland, Municipalism, religious values of Akuanism and the welfare state.

Socialism

Religious socialism

Theocratic socialism

Theocratic socialism, also referred to as Clerical communalism and Ultra-Religious socialism, is an ideological system which combines strict religious doctrine and clericalism with a socialist economy, forming the state around a religious community or fellowship.

The ideology originated amongst the followers of Borko Luter, an Ademarist theologian and advocate for the notion of “equality under the God-on-Urth”. His revolutionary writings in the 17th century argued strongly against the power of nobility within the church, as well as both the hierarchy of feudal structures and exploitation of the poor under capitalism. His religious teachings would be established within the nation of Gräntierik, and the doctrines established within it would inspire a number of other forms of the ideology through the justification of socialism by other clerical movements.
