### Valkism

**Valkism** is often compared to Paternal Autocracy as the country is ruled by one person.

**Calendarism,** like Paternal Autocracy, not a political ideology in the normal sense of the word. It is often compared to National Populism and it views of nationalism but also an Paternal Autocracy with its goal install a Theocratic Order following the Calendaric faith as new government, having a one party system and having a strong leader known as Grand Master. The important difference though is that there is a limited voting system in place. People are given the choice to vote for certain aspects of the Order like who shall become mayor,Council members or even the new Grand Master though their vote bears not as much weight as the Order members but are often taking into consideration. Calendarist Governments have an Authorative stance and mostly follow conservative believes though this may vary depending on the country. The first Calendarian Order was founded in Prydain and it is also the first country to install a Calendaric Government.
