Artelordism

Artelordism is the ideology of PolCompBall user Artelord and the leader of the Lorden Lands on NationStates Artelord the Great.

[[File:Welf.png]] Economy
For Artelord, the leader and government should always care most about the economy. All decisions that improve economic efficiency must be made, although he prefers social democratic policies because "markets provide competition and encourage good jobs, but free markets do not, since they easily turn into monopolies. Artelord also looks for ways to make society more equal in rights and opportunities, which include workers' rights, big welfare programs, free or cheap education, and anti-monopoly policies. An almost ideal economic model for him is the Scandinavian system. He also prefers a combination of private industry with a state-controlled economy rather than "state capitalism".

Artelord hates corruption and always tries to decrease its level. "A corrupted country is a bad country".

[[File:Envi.png]] Environment
Artelord doesn't pay much attention to the global warming as it might be not only the human influence but also the warming of the planet itself because the Ice Age was not too long time ago. Instead, he cares about the local pollution, which results in same policies: no polluting water, all factories should have air filters and cities have developed and ecological public transport so people won't need cars. All animals should be reserved if possible.

[[File:Pac.png]] Pacifism
Whenever a conflict happens Artelord tries his best to solve it through any peaceful methods because "the doesn't decide who is right, it decides who is left" and he doesn't like violence. Although, Lorden Lands have an army (which is small but technologically advanced) and wishes to have a small amount of nukes (for keeping the independence only).

[[File:Progconf.png]] Culture
The main principle here is "less banning and less forcing as long as people don't force or hurt". Because of this people are free choose their gender and who to marry while nothing anti-LGBT is banned. Human's health is considered to be important so cannabis is banned and pro-healthy-life ads are a common thing. There is also no official religion.

Government
Votes translate linearly to elected representation, with no seats or electoral college. Elected representatives must leave office after a legally mandated amount of time.

Society
Citizens of the same sex may marry. Citizens have no say in the medical use of their bodies after death. School-age children receive mandatory sex education.

Economy
Private industry is permitted within a market-based economy. The nation runs a space program. The state mandates the use of the metric system.

International
The nation opposes the use of WMDs. (Kind of. Artelord was forced by sanctions to get rid of the nukes but wishes to bring them back.)

Frenemies

 * [[File:Atronic.png]] Atronic - You have based policies but most of them were tried out in the Soviet Union and failed. Also while you highly oppose the right unity, I focus on fighting authoritarianism. And the revolution doesn't completely change the system, you'll need reforms anyways, so why not start with them?
 * [[File:Mnomb.png]] Tasavaltism - Agriculture alone won't make a country great, but at least you're democratical. And... You have a quite unique outlook.

Enemies

 * [[File:pixil-frame-0(38).png]] Neo-Majapahitism - We both like cheese and this is the only reason why you're not my arch enemy. Some of your statements look unbased like "states will rebel if they have too much power". They won't if they have a good life anyways.
