Castillismo

Castillismo is a nationalist, anti-imperialist, socialist, and republican ideology that is the ideology of the fictional Republic of Castilla, a state on the fictional desert planet of Mundus that is located on the fictional galaxy of Ursa Eritani. It wishes to accomplish the goal of the Castilla independence movement, which is to self-emancipate the entirety of the western landmass of Mundus from Monteblanqueño rule. The Castillano government is split between a moderate faction, Liberación Popular (LP), and a radical faction, Alianza Revolucionaria (AR).

History
Castilla is a fictional state on the fictional planet of Mundus that is located on the fictional galaxy of Ursa Eritani. With respect to size, Mundus is estimated to be around slightly larger than our moon. It is a mostly-desolate desert planet (similar to much of the Middle East) where water is very scarce and valuable. Mundus has only two states: Castilla and Monteblanco. On the planet, the people internationally speak Spanish; Monteblanquiños are depicted often with criollo Hispanic and east Asian characteristics, while the Castillanos are depicted often with indigenous Latino and southeast Asian characteristics. On the planet, there is a religion named El Credo which will be explained more below. Both Castilla and Monteblanco are at war with each other, with Castilla aspiring for national liberation and independence and Monteblanco wishing to unify the territories and assert control.

The Republic of Castilla is a state that claims the majority of the western landmass on Mundus. The government is referred to as El Frente Popular and it is split between a moderate faction, Liberación Popular (LP), and a radical faction, Alianza Revolucionaria (AR). Castilla is modeled after the modern-day Palestinian resistance movement, the Rebel Alliance (from Star Wars), and Ho Chi Minh-era Vietnam. Politically, it can be described as nationalist, anti-imperialist, socialist, and republican.

Liberación Popular is a Castillan nationalist, moderate socialist faction that wishes to negotiate a compromise for “peaceful coexistence” with Monteblanco. Informed by religious beliefs and pacifism, it tends to take a more moderate position on political and diplomatic issues, and it tends to draw support from the older and more religious sections of the population. Currently led by faction leader Emmanuel Lopez Arteaga, they are slightly more powerful than AR within the Castillan Frente Popular and have an unfortunate history of being infiltrated by spies from Monteblanco, something they are often derided for by the AR. They are often religious, as they follow a self-proclaimed humanist interpretation of El Credo.

Alianza Revolucionaria is a secular, pan-Castillan nationalist, revolutionary socialist faction that opposes cooperation with Monteblanco and desires complete separation from them. Informed by a heavy feeling of resentment towards the brutalities of Monteblanco, it tends to take a more hardline anti-imperialist line on political and diplomatic issues than LP does, and tends to draw support from the younger and more atheist sections of the population. Currently led by faction leader Salvador Adolfo Jaar, they are slightly less powerful than LP within the Frente Popular yet their popularity gradually increases. Supporters of the AR are typically stereotyped as being overly passionate and intense, and they are often opposed to El Credo as they envision a secular socialist state for Castilla.
