Political Ideologies

## Socialism

Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy characterized by social ownership and improvement, with a variety of different functions and methods as to achieving a society in which public, collective, cooperative equity and equality is established. There is no single definition of socialism, but all branches of the ideology base themselves around the idea of an end goal of a classless society throughs social ownership and cooperation to improve a nation, and a command economy, varying in how much control the government has on the economic system, with the end goal being the abolishment of an economy in favor of a communal cooperative societal structure. These can be achieved through a variety of methods, varying on which branch of socialism one would examine. Some would include authoritarian measures, while others hold democratic measures within their system.

## Martokism

Martoskism is a form of Socialism conjured from the Otvorian Philosopher Karel Martoske. While similar forms of socialism had been imagined and published by prior scholars, Martoske had been the first to coin the term "Socialism" in his manifesto The Socialist Book. Martoskism believes that all people of all classes be abolished, and that every person have access to a life of luxury and have every necessity available. Martoske would become radicalized after viewing the workers of his father's textile factory in Glavmi be subjugated to horrible working conditions for little pay, and believed that they deserved better than what they were given. Martoskists believe that the only way to establish a society free of class was is to establish a common state, where all people transfer from classes to class-less. At the same time, Martoskism is very nationalist, believing that the only way to form a government is to make a broad ethic state (for example, the SSUVR had been established as a purely Slavikan Socialist state, with the intention of uniting all Slavikan peoples), yet in the modern day, Martoskist often do not follow Martoske's nationalist ideology (Those who are still nationalist are called Traditional Martoskists, and those who are not nationalist are called New Martoskists). While also being nationalist, Martoskism believes in exporting the socialist way to other states, whether that be through the traditional method of revolution, or gradual socialist integration (those who believe in revolution are called Revolutionary Martoskist, and those who believe in gradual integration are called Gradual Martoskist). Martoskism is the most common form of Socialism to this day, with the majority of Martoskist being New Revolutionary Martoskists, being followed, in order, by New Gradual Martoskists,Traditional Revolutionary Martoskists and Traditional Gradual Martoskist.

## Naturalism

Naturalism is a political philosophy shared by the few members of the Order of the Dragon who live at Naga Temple on Bon Tu Island, Sulue. Naturalism focuses on a society without formal rulers with large amount of power. Naturalists believe that people should be governed by the "Laws of Nature," which are, relatively, undefined. Naturalists are of the belief that only small groups of people should be governed by a "Chief" who looks out for the "greater good of the miniscule populace of which they command." The goal is to live as their ancient ancestors did, thousands of years ago, in small tribes and sects under their own banners, looking out for themselves, and not worrying about diplomacy or international affairs. They believe this will bring them closer to the natural space around them, and help them tap into their spiritual side. Naturalism is not a popular ideology.
