Third Aquarian Model

The Third Aquarian Model, now known simply as Aquarian Model, and usually shortened to Aquamodel or Aquasoc (or basically, AquaHeart's ideology), is an economically left-wing, culturally left-wing, and civically moderate ideology. She is the predominant ideology of the modern Dawn Party of the Federal Republic of Aquaria (fictional nation), as well as that of the current Prime Minister, Oùzen Ùveteze. Heavily inspired from democratic socialism, she combines some elements of  liberal democracy,  direct democracy, and  modern Marxist thought, with a strong emphasis on  environmentalism. She supports a pacifistic and somewhat isolationist foreign policy for Aquaria, with protectionist measures to foster local production, and a moderate immigration policy under civic nationalist principles. She is somewhat nationalistic (for Aquaria, not any real-life country), but recognizes the good in diplomacy, and respects the cultures and autonomy of foreign nations and peoples. She is, debatably, a little bit utopian. Aquarian Model's prime guiding value is love. This value of love can be defined in many ways, as will be described below. Firstly, she believes that people can not, and have never been, born evil. A constructivist to the core, she believes that evil is only activated and brought out in an individual after the forces of society corrupt them. This applies to both criminals and believers of ideologies she sees as corrupt/evil. As such, she does not like the concept of murdering or executing people, being more fond of rehabilitation in most cases. Secondly, in her belief, love should transcend to every human being, no matter how they were born, no matter how they identify. As such, she fully supports the expansion of civil rights of minority groups, be them in race, ethnicity, physical/mental ability, gender, or sexuality. She believes in establishing inclusive guidelines in all areas of government, and encourage similar inclusive guidelines in schools and worker cooperatives via government funding. She allows pride parades, despite being not too fond of them, but she does not allow public nudity during these events. In regards to countries beyond Aquaria's borders, her support for cultural progressivism is strongest when the country in concern is culturally conservative. In more culturally progressive countries, she finds it more feasible to focus on advancing the economic structure towards socialism instead. Third of all, she believes in thinking far ahead. This takes the form of making sustainable plans and institutions, that can serve the people of Aquaria for many generations to come. She sees this as love for her future siblings, as well as the future children of her nation. This emphasis on thinking ahead means that any bill the Aquarian government considers to institute are first and foremost analyzed for its long-term potential impacts, especially on Aquarian society's upholding of love. While she recognizes that love does not solve every problem, she also thinks that without love, the society she and her predecessors built becomes meaningless. This emphasis on thinking ahead also reinforces her devotion to environmentalism, as she sees it as the most critical means of sustaining the physical world for future generations of all of Earth's denizens to thrive in. Finally, and perhaps most noticeably, the value of love guides her political stances. She believes in socialism because, quite simply, it is significantly more compassionate than  capitalism. In her belief, socialism not only allows more overall autonomy for all working civilians of the world, but also allows more capacity for each individual to foster and practice love towards others. She cares deeply for the environment, and works to stop climate change, because she believes that love should extend to not just all humans, but also to planet Earth, the ultimate cradle of life, and all of its denizens. She believes in democracy, as she believes that despite its flaws, it is the most capable civic system in sustaining the value of love, especially compared to  totalitarianism, which she sees as corrupt, and  anarchism, which she sees as unstable. She is, however, in favor of reforming modern democratic systems around the world to combat their issues of lobbying, elitism, and kakistocratic populism. She sees a semi-direct democratic system as the best solution.

Personality
Aquarian Model is usually seen as either somewhat playful, or quite mellow, depending on her mood. She tries to be as nice to everyone as her emotional capacity allows. However, whenever China or  Christianity show up or are brought up in any capacity, she will be grow agitated, and will either leave the scene or rant about them. She has a passion for nature. She enjoys relaxing and meditating in numerous natural scenes, especially those with a water body, such as lakes, waterfalls, and ocean shores. Unlike her siblings, she is rather esoteric, and often speaks like a pagan priestess, which sometimes causes other ideology balls to be confused or annoyed. Her siblings don't seem to mind, though.

Stylistic Notes

 * Timid, softspoken
 * Dislikes violence
 * Often found meditating, in some place in the wilderness
 * Usually formal in speech, but can be playful when she's happy
 * Likes complaining about Dengf.png China and Cdem.png Christianity

How To Draw
The ball of Third Aquarian Model is modeled after the national flag of the Federal Republic of Aquaria (made by AquaHeart herself).
 * 1) Draw a circle.
 * 2) Inside the circle, color the top half sky blue, and the bottom half ocean blue.
 * 3) Paint in a yellow semicircle on the bottom of the sky blue half.
 * 4) On the ocean blue half, draw a curved belt of 5 small white stars, evenly spaced, of the same size.
 * 5) Add a bowtie directly on the outline of the ball, at around the top right.
 * 6) Paint the bowtie any color(s) within the palette.
 * 7) Add regular eyes. (Add eyelashes if you want).
 * 8) You're done! :)

The light blue of the top half of the flag represents the daytime sky, under which all of human society lives. The yellow semicircle at the bottom of the top half represents the rising morning sun, from which comes the warmth and sunlight of a new day. The deep blue of the bottom of the flag represents the oceans, on which life itself has depended. This scenery of a sunrise over an oceanic horizon, depicted by the flag, symbolizes Aquaria's connection to nature and Aquaria's large-scale vision of building a brighter tomorrow, both on a daily basis and in looking at the far future.

The five white stars in the lower half (submerged in "the oceans") have been interpreted by Aquarian literary scholars to represent many things. These interpretations range from unity in adversity, and exploration of the unknown, to hidden treasures of the soul, among others. These also include more negative interpretations, like the vision of a colonial empire, which the Aquarian government firmly denies.

 * [[File:Aneco.png]] - Fellow enjoyer of meditating in the woods. Great insight on how most nation-states today empower businesses to exploit the environment. I'm not a huge fan of your violent side, though.

 * Námcism (page not yet made) - Now that I think about it, maybe the time is right, and opening Aquaria up a bit more isn't such a bad idea. I think caution will serve us well, though.
 * [[File:Floppa.png]] Floppaism - Cute, funny, and based.

Mixed

 * [[File:Bud.png]] - Fellow critic of materialism, but as a theocrat, you're on thin ice. I like how you rule Bhutan, but you frighten me with your actions in Myanmar.
 * [[File:Distributist.png]] - If you weren't culturally conservative, you'd make a good friend.
 * [[File:Lib.png]] - I appreciate many of the ways you think, but you're too afraid to challenge the status quo. That, or you're just lowkey ignorant.
 * [[File:Clib.png]] - Helped spread the values of the Enlightenment, and is currently my biggest ally against the CCP. I don't like your laissez-faire economics, though.

 * [[File:3princ.png]] - You're the best thing that's ever held significance in China, with your intuitive thinking, and your decent to great takes on the economy. However, your lack of resolve in resisting imperialism made China bow down to many vile influences, the impacts of which are unforgivable.
 * [[File:World_Federalism2.png]] - Amazing values, but horrible execution, probably due to being too utopian.
 * Esshyism (page not yet made) - While I respect your devotion to Aquarian values, you seem pretty imperialistic. I don't think imperialism with even Aquarian values can be justified in the name of love.
 * [[File:Gamer.png]] Gamerism - I used to be a gamer, and I respect games as a form of entertainment and even a form of art, but I don't like mainstream gaming culture at all.

Negative

 * [[File:Mao.png]] - That's the most laughable "cultural revolution" I've ever heard of.
 * [[File:Dengf.png]] - You gave the average Chinese citizen more wealth... but at what cost? You and your successors' developmental plans only had money in mind, and the general lack of concern for human rights in China today really goes to show that. You also crushed pro-democracy protests in 1989. You are a traitor to socialism.
 * [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] Xi Jinping Thought - As if Deng wasn't enough of a disaster. You are not just a traitor to socialism, but also a shame-bringer to the Chinese ethnicity. It's truly difficult to construct an ideology more morally twisted than you!

 * [[File:Cdem.png]] - You're an oxymoron.
 * [[File:Fash.png]] - No thanks.

 * [[File:React.png]] - You will never win.
 * [[File:Radfem.png]] - I kind of understand where you come from, but you are allowing fear and bigotry to guide you. I pray that you one day understand the error of your ways.
 * [[File:Humanismpix.png]] - Pretending to care about "all lives" is one heck of a way to sound intelligent, gotta give you that.
 * [[File:Annil.png]] - If you have nothing productive to contribute, why should I bother listening to you?
 * [[File:Imp.png]] - I don't even know where to begin describing how evil you are.
 * [[File:Necon.png]] - Neo-imperialist.
 * [[File:Jihad.png]] - Being anti-imperialist alone doesn't make you good. Rot in hell, scum.

Positive

 * [[File:Admiralism Icon.png]] Admiralism - We differ on a few things, but overall, nice ideology, and as far as I can tell, pretty chill person. Fellow AMOGUS enjoyer.
 * [[File:YoriModel.png]] Yori Model - Basically a slightly more moderate me.
 * [[File:Neo-YugoslavPartisanIcon.png]] Neo-YugoslavPartisanism - Cool ideology, although I think your approach to revolution is likely to backfire. Wish you weren't Br*tish.
 * [[File:Tomjazz.png]] Tomjazzism - Nice stuff. I like your detailed descriptions.

Mixed

 * [[File:Neoairisu.png]] Neo-Airisuism - Not the biggest fan of your personality, or your support for anarchism, but I do like your ideals. Fellow supporter of Rojava.
 * [[File:Lairism.png]] Lairism - Pretty decent values all-around. However, it's too economically liberal for me, and a tad too conservative. I also sense that you might be a bit more authoritarian than you think yourself to be. Also, supporting Assad is not my cup of tea at all.
 * [[File:Aaronism Icon.png]] Aaronism - Doesn't agree that market forces inherently lead to exploitation and the institutional suppression of happiness. Your other ideas seem solid, though.
 * [[File:Cflski.png]] Celfloskism - Fellow CCP hater. I don't like your tendencies to cooperate with right-wingers, though.

Negative

 * [[File:PATS.png]] Pan-Asian Tridemist Socialism - You give me 3rd-positionist vibes. How exactly do you think Xi Jinping is an arbiter of the tridemist values of Sun Yat-sen? So many arrogant/reactionary takes. Yikes!
 * [[File:METBOL.png]] Metbolism, [[File:Neoafun.png]] Neo-Afunhumaninterism, [[File:JoeyFloppa_boo.png]] JoeyFloppaism - Not gonna write 3 roughly similar responses, but yeah... supporting capitalism? Supporting Imperialism? Advocating for societal implementation of Christian morality? Nuh-uh, not a fan of any of these at all. You also seem pretty unkind as people.
 * [[File:Typicalfan2.png]] TypicalFan1 Thought, [[File:ChristConservF.png]] SomeCrusaderism - You seem a little nicer as people than those above, but we still agree on basically nothing. Seriously, conservatism bad.
 * [[File:Oiboioiismicon.png]] Oiboioiism, [[File:Heinrich.png]] Heinrich-Cheungism - Excuse my language, but what the actual fuck?
