Antholism

Antholism is a philosophy and ideology that emphasizes the importance of merit, ability, and a focus on individuality in determining social and economic status in society. It also emphasizes the strength of towns in a nation, uniting them under local regions which then form the nation. With a definitive rank structure to allow for this. This philosophy asserts that every individual should have the opportunity to rise to their fullest potential, based on their talents, skills and hard work, rather than being limited by their birth or social status. This philosophy promotes the idea of a society where opportunities are equal and accessible to all, regardless of their background, and where individuals are recognized and rewarded based on their achievements and contributions to society. It also encourages individuals to strive for self-improvement and to reach their full potential, as well as promoting a culture of excellence and competition. In terms of societal implications, Antholism would emphasize the importance of education and training, as well as creating opportunities for individuals to prove themselves and earn their place in society. It would also promote fair competition and a level playing field for all, with a strong emphasis on individual responsibility and accountability. In medieval society, social and economic status were determined primarily by birth and social class, with little mobility between classes. Additionally, the feudal system, which is the dominant social and economic system dominating the land today is based on the idea of hereditary privilege and obligations rather than merit. This focus towards more individuality and a focus on each person's goals and ambitions allow for the unity of towns and a strong connection to the nation.  Antholism is the notion of “Different” and “Unusual” being seen as equally valid and important in advancing to the best positions in society, and not "specialness" as many people have been trained to view. Antholism encourages equal opportunity for the "Unique" individual, and does not look down on individuals who fall outside of societal norms or cultural norms, but instead sees these as the same strengths as the "perfect" and the "exceptional." This philosophy also emphasizes respect for individual dignity and the role of personal and moral responsibility in living an optimal life.
In addition, this philosophy asserts that society should value individuality and individual choices, and that being "unique" and "other" is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, individualism is highly regarded as a quality in society, and antholism holds the belief that all individuals should be allowed to express and express their individuality as they see fit. This also holds to the belief that the different you are, the more intelligent and talented you are likely to be.

The town acted as a small nation, while still being loyal to its home nation and regional archduke. The town founder, Anton De Manteau Officially adopted the idea and turned it into a philosophy which he hopes to spread throughout his nation and eventually, the world.  It is his belief that the world could reach a higher state of control over the world by restructuring the very foundation of the human class structure and lifestyle.
