Svobodism, also known as the five principles, is the ideology Sahr, Sahrland-Bastia, and the greater sahren Republican movement are founded on. Svobodism is characterized by egalitarianism, nationalism, Isolationism, support of the sciences, and economic statism.

Etymology

The term Svobodism comes from Nedfry Svoboda , the first president of Sahrland and a revered revolutionary. Svoboda became the face of Republicanism and the new values of the Sahren state.

Principles

Egalitarianism

Egalitarianism as a virtue was heavily influenced by the moderate stihlovists in the Republican coalition. In this sense it specified not only legal equality and opportunistic equality, but equity in economics. Svoboda correctly predicted the Sahren peasant class did not care about ideologies but rather how well functioning the institutions meant to serve them could function, thus in order to stabilize the new regime the peasantry needed to be developed and aided.

By 2150 under the Frakchiya administration this expanded to the developement of agricultural communes in the rural areas, effectively increasing local autonomy of the peasantry but also increasing their political influence.

Nationalism

The new society Svoboda sought to build specifically in Sahr was one based around a new Sahren identity which he believed could solve the conflict between Chevspendic traditionalism and Egercian assimilation. The Sahren ethnostate was not a new idea but it was never pursued to such a degree as the Republicans did. The Republican movement already destroyed almost every pre-regency institution, which presented an opportunity to build new institutions and impose new cultural practices onto existing groups to cause assimilation without oppression.

The second linguistic reform act did not change much about the official grammar of Egercian but initially was to outlaw minority languages while making fadas optional, combined with a nationwide effort for Egercian literacy. The Bridge of blood incident of 2147 caused the bill to be shot down in parliament, and then rewritten to just the parts on expanding education and removal of fada requirements.

Isolationism

The isolationist policies of Svobodism are a direct descendant from the policy of Nemqurpolitik of the previous regime. Instead of outright antagonising other countries while refusing foreign entanglements, Svobodism sought to seek closer ties with Phoenia while keeping a level of distrust of foreign nations.

Sciences

Before Svobodism Sahrland's contribution to science was effectively nonexistant, the greatest breakthroughs were barely able to bring it relatively equal to other countries. Government research grants began during the Sahren Civil War for the purposes of gaining a tactical advantage, but past 2147 shifted to civilian sectors. Reconstruction of Goeth an tuascirt university began directly after Klensagrad was captured, and construction of newer educational facilities in uneducated areas followed. By the 2160s and 70s Sahrland's agricultural sector caught up in technical developement to the rest of the world and efforts shifted to heavy industry.

Economic Statism

The economic policies of Svobodism can be described as state run capitalism, but in practice are a complicated mix of both lasseiz faire and Stihlovism. In urban centres lasseiz faire takes prescedent, mirroring a social-democratic system or welfare state. In rural areas or urban centres based around rural areas (take Sys for an example) local government economic control takes prescedent, along with a stronger set of communal values. Economic statism could said to be an evolution from Nemqurpolitik as a globalist economy would leave Sahrland at threat from foreign economic warfare.

Origins

Svoboda's ideas are derived from Phoenia, the GMSD, and his experiences in the royal armed forces of Sahrland.

During the Regency Junta period Svoboda took great inspiration of Phoenia, where he was residing in exile. His ideas of apoliticial armed forces, 5 year terms, and cultural union were directly taken from Phoenia.

Cultural influence

Critique

Svobodism left no room for other nationalities in Sahrland but the new Sahren he wished to create. The long standing power balance between Chevspendic traditionalists and Egercian assimilationists became lopsided and favoured the Egercians, leading to an increase in political violence against both members of government and unrelated civilians.
