Sovereignism

Sovereignism aims to detach its followers from the constant struggle of a life driven by the desire for power.
== Overview ==
Sovereignism is a philosophy rooted in five tenets which are core to its teachings.
# Sovereignists must not desire power of any kind.
# Sovereignists shall not participate in wars or negotiations toward territorial expansion.
# Sovereignists must respect squatters.
# Communities following Sovereignism must have members vote on all decisions.
# Communities following Sovereignism must have no higher ups or bureaucracies.
== In Practice ==
=== Sovereignist Nations ===
While it may seem like it at first, Sovereignism does not reject the formation of nations or lands. A nation following Sovereignism would have no government positions. The creator of the nation would have admin commands but they would not abuse them and they would just consider themself a citizen and not a leader of any sort. Sovereignist nations may expand their territory, but as outlined in the tenets, this expansion may never come from war or negotiation. All citizens of the nation would vote on every decision and all citizens would receive the same permissions in all the nation's land. As mentioned in the tenets, Sovereignist nations would respect squatters and allow them to live outside their land. 
=== Sovereignist Nomad/Squatter Communities ===
The nomad is the ultimate achievement in Sovereignism. This is because nomads truly desire no power and instead spend their lives focused on what matters more. Squatter communities are allowed and respected in Sovereignism too. 
Although it is best for Sovereignists to live in communities which follow the philosophy. It is possible to live a Sovereignist life while belonging to a non-Sovereignist nation.
