Top 40ocracy

Alignment
Libertarian Unity (de facto)

Aristocratic

Aliases
Hitocracy, Top n-ocracy

Fundamental Principles

 * All music is on the same team.
 * Who governs at the highest stakes heads the government best.

Method of Selecting Heads of Government
The performer(s) at the top of some given weekly hit music (generally speaking) chart(s) receive(s) the headship of the board of heads of government for the next week. If multiple charts determine the board of heads of government for the next week, the performers at the top of all charts are equally heads of the board of heads of government for the next week. Because Top 40ocracy uses a ranked list to fill the board of heads of government for each week, the heads of government drawn from the do not all have equal power over the government’s policy agenda for the week; but neither does any duly elected head of government hold no de facto power over this.

Traditional Monarchical and Republican Offices
Top 40ocracies do not support the idea of only guaranteeing the only head(s) of state a one-week reign. They see this as making the state too unstable too easily if put into practice. Though the 1 year to lifetime terms of traditional monarchical and republican offices may offer too low stakes on a head of government, a head of state needs nowhere near as high stakes on their office because they only have to be a figurehead of the state most of the time. Therefore, Top 40ocracies still provide these offices, just as heads of state with at most reserve powers in the government.

Stylistic Note

 * Uses slang, especially ironically, and musical references
 * ex: “Call me Your Majorness” (sincere)
 * ex: "remember cats the only thing you have to lose is your functional harmony" (ironic)
 * Use of music meme culture is encouraged
 * Quite a gambler

How to Draw
Combine AnJazz and Aristocracy.

Heads of Government
Musicians

Heads of State

 * Presidential Candidates and Presidents - Symbol of my country’s unity, exercises executive power on my binding advice.
 * Senatorialism - Symbol of my country’s multiplicity, legislates on my binding advice.

Friends

 * Helvetic Model - Basically me, just a traditionalistic capitalist who permits more direct democracy.
 * Noocracies - Plato did say philosophers were supposed to know music, but this appears to have gotten lost in all the intervening history…
 * Spadist Libertarian Noocracy - The people decide who is knowledgeable.
 * Plutocracy - Musicians become well off from having hit music.
 * Mediacracy - Authoritarian though you be, I would be difficult at best without you.
 * Democracies - How do you like the idea of weekly votes?
 * Fut.png Futurism - If musicians don’t have hits by the time they’re 30, it’s less probable they’ll have any afterwards, However, you’re a bit too strict about how old the heads of government should be and you make unwarranted assumptions about how young people must think.
 * Accelerationists - That government governs best which governs quickest.
 * Capitalists - Who has the biggest hit has the most individual say in government policy.
 * Socialists - Government does more stuff when it’s on one’s binding advice.
 * Cultural left - Alternative music charts can determine the heads of government.
 * Cultural right - Classical music charts can determine the heads of government.
 * Globalists - Musicians who chart internationally get to have people in several countries.
 * Most Nationalists, Provincialists and Municipalists - Nations, provinces and localities can determine their heads of government with charts for their own particular music styles.
 * Populism - The people get follow whom they like the most.

Frenemies (False Enemies)

 * Demarchy, Mediocracy and Kak.png Kakistocrats - Anyone can get on the chart(s) through “dumb” luck, but you need some basic level of skill to get re-elected.
 * Autism.png Autists - mostly not as dumb as they seem, just misunderstood
 * Anprim.png Primitivists and Primalists - I’m perfectly OK with proto-classical musicians charting, but isn’t reverting to earlier technology a step too far?
 * Theocrat.png Theocracies - I’m perfectly OK with people being religious “in public”, but isn’t enforcing it a step too far?
 * Puritan.png Puritan Theocracy - “I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord, but you don’t really care for music, do you?”
 * Agnostic “Theocracy” and  Satanic Theocracy.png “Evil” religious ideologies - Aren’t you all sort of a contradiction in terms?
 * Traditional political parties - Well, you don’t need to be representative when you’re contesting mostly ceremonial offices.
 * Libertarian parties - “I’ll like the candidate but I don’t have to vote for them” is not a basis for a viable party whatever office the candidate may want.
 * Several 2020 US Democratic Presidential candidates - The Electoral College can stay in place when the Presidency is a mostly ceremonial office.
 * US Green Party - First Past The Post voting for mostly ceremonial offices is sort of OK.
 * Anarchists - If obedience be removed, there is still conformity. And what if people conform to requirements which create unequal statuses?
 * Other non-Fascist authoritarians - At least you aren’t especially bigoted against certain kinds of music…
 * Laicism - Do you consider religious-only music charts too much of a “public” display of reiligiosity?
 * Ochlocracy - We do not talk about the mosh pits…

Enemies

 * Fascists - The idea that there is such a thing as “degenerate” music holds back more progress than it advances.
 * New Atheism and State Atheism - What you want is improbable at best.
 * Nihil.png Nihilists
 * Dystoball.png Dystopians and most Satan.png Evil versions

Across the spectrum

 * National Post-Humanism - I do not understand this tone system…
