Peasants' Republicanism

is the political system practiced by the Peasants' Republics what is now mostly north-western Germany, most prominently in Frisia.

The system was a reaction to Feudalism and a rejection thereof, instead placing the power in the hands of  peasants. Sometimes a  oligarchical system developed where a few families held power in the state and were the only ones allowed to vote (such as in  Dithmarschen), other times the societies were more  direct-democratic and communal in nature. A constant however was that the peasants owned the land they worked and had to pay little or no taxes.



Peasants' Republicanism is strongly Anti-Feudal and believes that all peasants should be free to own and work their own lands.

He loves to farm and enjoys his freedoms, he hates Feudalism and is sad to see other peasants suffer under it. It's best friend is Lübeck Law.
