Aurelianism

Aurelianism, is a nationalist, culturally neutral, economically laissez-faire ideology.

All men are equal under law, or so we pretend, in modern systems no man is equal to another, in western nations, almost always a rich man gets precedence over a poorer one, inequality under law exist based on your sex, looks, connections and even things beyond your control like culture and public sentiment. Inequality is something found everywhere in nature so some such activities found in governemnt are naturally moral, women recieve precedence over men when it comes to child custody & domestic voilence, which is good but also unfair. Even so the government has no ability to reason and therefore can't understand morality, it is only man that can decide what is moral and what is not, under this premise the Aurelian government is a limited one, run only by the best of the best and exists only to protect the nation, provide security and punish injustice.

Citizenship?
What makes a citizen? This is a question rooted in the idea of civic responsibility, the notion that citizens of a nation should contribute to its prosperity and stability. An individual can live in a country and be declared a citizen, but does that mean they are truly a citizen of that nation? In some countries it is required that one holds values and traits associated with the nation to be considered a citizen, in most nations one needs to simply be born in the borders of the country or be the offspring of a citizen to be a citizen. (See Jus Soli and Jus sanguinis for more)

In other systems, citizenship would be marked by the ability to participate in civic life. Voting in elections, military service and occupying public offices are just a few of the requirements to be an official citizen.

But in an Aurelian state that isn't exactly the case, my definition of citizenship is simply someone who has lived in the nation for 15 years. Now naturally that also means that no child is born a citizen but only become citizens at the age of 15.

To be a citizen means having certain rights, but also the one simple responsibility to pay taxes, nothing else is mandatory but taxes within the Aurelian state.
