Vixoism

Solen Mandate, formerly and commonly called Vixoism, or, by some, Valrean Ethno-Religious Nationalism was a Valrean philosophy and political ideology centered around the teachings, political legacy, and historical analyses of Vix Moreau Aulian, diarch and first monarch of Valreach, who ruled from 98 TE to 171 TE. It was enforced for over 120 years within the Valrean Empire and was characterized by its ethnocentric principles, emphasizing the unification and strength of the Valrean state. It was underpinned by a profound belief in a divine mandate from the All-Father Solaris, instructing Valreans to unify their holy land.
Its origins can be found during the Valrean Awakening that King Vix led during the Valrean Civil War and its aftermath, with a total ideological and identitary reform of the Valrean state, breaking the ties with its decentralised, federalised origins with a strong pan-Drakaen sentiment, to shift towards an ethno-nationalistic view of the Valrean state, defining its inhabitants as part of a single ethnic group, descendants of the supposedly native Valrein people.
==Principles==
Solen Mandate revolves around the principles of deep nationalism, unitary governance, strict adherence to the Soledom faith, preservation of the Valrean Homeland, and exclusive recognition of Valreans as the sole ethnicity, all with the goal of unifying and strengthening the Valrean state.
These principles were not explicit during the early times of Vixism, following the dissolution of the Drakaen Köntrybund, but were instead developed during the times of Emperor Yorg Moreau Aulian, who, having been two times patriarch of the Soleviel faith, abandoned the Soleviel anti-theocratic principles and formed the Soleannen Soledom schism.
1. Nationalism: Solen Mandate places a strong emphasis on a deep and unwavering love for Valreach, considering it not only as a physical land but also as an embodiment of Valrean people and their collective identity. This love extends to the idea of Valreach as a nation, fostering a sense of unity and purpose among its citizens.
2. Unitary Governance: Solen Mandate rejects the notion of providing special autonomy to specific regions or endorsing federalist principles. Instead, it advocates for unitary governance and centralization of power within the entire nation. The belief is that a strong, unified, and centralized state is essential for the prosperity and stability of Valreach.
3. Religion: Within the Solen Mandate, the acceptance of foreign deities and beliefs is seen as blasphemy and an attack on the sacredness of Valreach. Soledom is the sole religion accepted and strictly practiced in Valreach. All Valreans are expected to adhere to the Soledom faith, and non-belief is considered an affront to the nation and its sacred homeland.
4. Homeland: Solen Mandate vehemently opposes the idea of ceding any part of the Valrean Homeland, known as Valriegesland, to a foreign power. The ideology staunchly advocates for the preservation of Valrean territory in its entirety and rejects the partitioning or sale of any land to other nations. The Valrean Homeland is regarded as sacrosanct, with every inch of it holding great significance. It should remain as a static homeland, with no expansion or reduction in its territory.
5. People: Solen Mandate emphasizes that Valreans are the native inhabitants of Valreach or closely descended from them. They are considered the embodiment of the country and its land. In line with this principle, Vixoism denies the recognition of any other ethnicity within Valreach, asserting that Valreans are the exclusive ethnic group in the nation.
